🔮 Our Analysis
With software becoming more and more complex, user interfaces are becoming more and more difficult to navigate. Onboarding new users is more difficult for software companies, and power users feel bogged down by bloated interfaces. CommandBar addresses both of these concerns with the CommandBar Widget by giving power users a way to quickly use the app while giving casual users an accessible method of interacting with and discovering features. For CommandBar’s customers, this translates to less money spent on providing support to users and a better product that keeps users coming back. In addition to other features, the company plans on using the funding to add CommandBar to mobile apps. In particular, we hope to see how the company addresses this challenge given the lack of keyboard shortcuts and a slower typing experience on mobile.
