Hi Toni, Thank you so much for this detailed descriptionn of groupspaces. Looks very promising. I tend towards individual pieces (so an invoice tool, a forum tool, etc.) rather than an all-in-one tool, just because they never seem to be ideal across the different features, but I'm curious to hear how it ends up working. It sounds great.
