By way of trying out Sane, I pulled some information from the PEI Home and School Federation candidate profiles for the Public School Branch trustee elections and put it in a graph.
It was a helpful exercise: not only did I learn a lot about the candidates—there are some estimable people standing for trustee—but I got a chance to get frustrated by, and excited about, Sane. I’ve signed up for a product walk-through tomorrow with an eye to expressing both.

Curious to hear more about
Curious to hear more about your experience with Sane. Is it a walled off garden, or is integration with other tools in the workflow possible/encouraged? Sane is on my list of things to explore, but haven't yet.
I had a good product walk
I had a good product walk-through and discussion with one of the co-founders this morning, and would encourage you to do the same.
