Is anyone using Projects to deal with their science stuff?
How does it compare to having a combination of evernote and github? How does it deal with large datasets? Is it easy to integrate in your workflow? Any reason why I should use this?
Questions, questions, questions…..

Projects is the safe and simple way to manage your research outputs.. With features just for researchers, you’ll have more time for making discoveries.

Never heard of it… But seems interesting!
I don't know anyone who's actually used Projects. But like ReadCube (http://readcube.com/) Projects has connections to Nature Publishing Group, so they'll milk the brand for users and exposure. This is why you see that annoying ReadCube button on every NPG paywall, and why Projects has a "refer 3 friends and get a Nature subscription for free" promotion right now.
But there are a ton of options in this space. There's Open Science Framework (https://osf.io/), Banyan (https://banyan.co/), Labfolder (https://www.labfolder.com/), Labguru (http://www.labguru.com/), SciGit (http://www.scigit.com/) and probably others I've missed.
It's an exciting, but slightly overwhelming, time to start organizing your research work online…
If you're interested in alternatives I'd look into Open Science Framework (the only non-profit in the above list) and Labfolder. Both are run by very competent groups with good ideas on how to push the state of the art.
OK now that's probably more info than you ever wanted to know about this product. Hope all's well over there, congrats on the new letters to your name!
Actually +Gregory Jordan this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I didn't knew it was a npg thing and I clearly don't see that as a bonus as I'm sure this will mean that my data at some point we'll be locked in and moving will be impossible. Will browse the stuff you mentioned and see how this compares!
