Joel is a software developer at liip, a web consultancy here in Zurich. He is a Memonic user right from start. We recently asked him a few questions:

Question: To warm up we asked: Why do you use Memonic?

Joel: I’m a Memonic user by discipline. I try to teach myself to use it because it solves a problem we got used to and we shouldn’t have.

If I buy a nice tshirt and place it in my cupboard at home I really expect it will still be there a month later. On the web it’s different. I won’t really freak out if that page I found some weeks earlier is not online anymore. That’s actually crazy if think about it. And no one’s really complaining. It became normal. Memomic provides me the tool go around that problem. Saving stuff to my own space, organizing it and make sure it’ll be there whenever I need it.

Q: Surely there are plenty of things that you don’t like about Memonic?

Joel: What I don’t like with Memonic is that I don’t use it for everything I should. I guess I still haven’t really realized all the benefits of collecting my stuff for the amount of work it requires to save and organise it. But I use it because a such great team like yours has certainly lots of ideas for features to motivate me using it even more.

Q: To conclude: What has cooking and Memonic in common – or not?

Joel: I would compare : the capturing tool to the kitchenware the items to the recipes to use again and again the sharing collections to inviting friends for tasting your dishes the items editing to your the own touch you add to given recipes the items organizations to our freedom of mixing dishes the mobile access to…. ok that’s harder… so I guess this is what’s different with cooking. There’s no app for using your mobile phone as a stove. Not yet.

Thanks Joel!
