They have had at least one multimillion dollar funding rounds, two co-founders (one is CEO, one is CTO), a UK Director (they’re HQed in Belgium) and a few data scientists with listed emails. But it’s a small company with fewer than 50 employees.
In 2021 they gained an additional revenue stream by licensing their AI-based InstantML technology to Siemens for its MindSphere insights software “as an embedded component in MindSphere gives industrial users the ability to very quickly add AI capabilities to their MindSphere applications and solutions. With this approach, the IoT data stored in MindSphere can be instantly leveraged to generate actionable insights and prescriptive tools, enabling important industry use cases such as predictive maintenance, performance optimization, quality management and energy management.”

I think Tangent Notes and Tangent Works are not related. (And yes I believe Tangent Notes is a one-person operation.)

Thanks. My question was based on this: https://www.tangentnotes.com/About. I do use and support some one-developer programs, but I’m trying to be more cognizant of that aspect before I spend a lot of time on them—especially where there seem to be relatively robust options with teams and funding.

It is a one-person operation, but Taylor Hadden is very amiable and responds quickly to feedback, queries etc. It’s very much a passion project, i.e. he eats his own dog food!
I’m enjoying using Tangent alongside Obsidian – the map view in particular is always interesting, and it’s a very quick app. There are some nice “hidden” features, too (i.e. features you have to find by exploring the app a bit!). He’s got folding on his near-term roadmap ;-)

Although the current version of Tangent doesn’t have folding (but it’s coming!), it does have a great filter feature (the “Feed” filter, as opposed to the “Cards” filter) that allows you to see – and edit – multiple notes in a continuous stream. The notes can either be in a folder, or in a particular tag/subtag set. This is not dissimilar to Ulysses, although Ulysses also allows you to view/edit selected notes as a single, continuous stream. Taylor likes the idea!
Obsidian does have a couple of plug-ins that allow you to do the same thing with tags (either full notes or individual paragraphs), but the Tangent solution is much cleaner.
The default “Cards” filter is also very powerful, however, because the Cards are scrollable, meaning you can scroll through the entire note on the Cards screen (similar to, but much more powerful than, the Index Cards feature in other apps). And if you click on a Card, the actual note appears alongside the Cards list. Again, you can view folders, tags or search hits in “Cards” view.
Just a couple of things Tangent does particularly well.
