Hey everyone!

If you do a lot of research for work, check out Heyday. It's a browser extension that boosts your memory.

I've been helping the team out with some of their content and have found the tool super useful for Workspaces-related research. I'd absolutely love to hear any product feedback that you have regarding it!
