documents, whiteboards & databases āĻā§?
A document workspace is a tool that combines text editing, visual collaboration, and structured data in one place - alongside your project and task tracking. BusyBee.Day Documents replaces the typical Notion + Excalidraw + Airtable stack with a single integrated layer.
