This is great. A feature request: screenshots. I've been on the hunt for a way to collect UI snippets and ideas and this is near perfect. Dig the UI, name, and logo, too. Nice work :)
For example, one trove that does this: https://trove.to/wes/trove/interesting-wikipedia-articles

Are you familiar with https://kit.co/ (a service Patreon acquired and later dealt)? There's also https://satchel.com/ in the B2B SaSS space. Does anyone think there is a market for a wikipedia/wirecutter/consumerreports-like building tool, for communities to build recommendations by consensus?
I am familiar with both — as far as I can tell they're both great products in their own right, very focused on their particular niche (Kit for products, Satchel for B2B SaaS). You can use Trove to create similar things; for instance I have a trove on my recommended WFH setup [1]. Long term, we believe a general-purpose tool may have the most potential. The ability to search for any recommendation, and get back a resu…
What would make your product most valuable to me as both a consumer and a contributor would be a way to establish an aggregate reviews in a specific way, such as by editorial board or brand. A group of reviewers working together. Sort of like a subreddit. Not only being able to sort reviews by author or people I follow, but compare the rankings of the consumer reports team to the wirecutter team (examples of competing review brands.) I want to look at a masthead and trust their overall review quality standards, to find the reviewers I can trust.
A CMS to host reviews is cool. A way to collaborate and build complex team consensus is even better.
Does anyone know of any open source solutions for similar KB user experience (quality as the first order primitive). COTs are fine... but me and everyone else are already on Sharepoint and that's not going away -- so any solution needs to integrate; at least on the surface... understandably there are indexes/embeddings that need to exist for KB retrieval.
Creator here, happy to answer any questions. Trove is a project I’ve been working on for about 3 months now. The initial idea was borne out of a frustration my cofounder and I had while researching startup ideas. We would often come across excellent resources that related to one of the ideas we were investigating, but we found there was no great way to organize these resources, annotate them with our own thoughts, an…
Glad to see what I am not alone! World need our hearts, hands and minds!
Now Ontol in close beta stage and I testing hypothesis in tiny russian auditory. But after this discussion, I will speed up by 300% ))) Thanks!
(My dream is to meet you in YC batch)
A separate point since I see you're interested in YC and similar startup culture, I know this was made as a deep dive, pretty detailed explanation of using Trove, but some small details can be skipped over because when you've got the benefit of both visual and auditory media, people can jump to answers far quicker than you can say them. e.g. explaining the concept of your top Troves. It's readily understandable without explanation (maybe even without a mention as people see it in the hotspot of the page as you scroll!) and at least personally, I prefer to see things and interpret them in videos as if I was scrolling through the page myself.
The concept is great. One major thing stopping me from trying this out though is ease of putting something I see to within the CMS (which I am feeling like conceptualizing as?). A browser extension would go a long way towards helping this.

On your first point, we are in fact working on an extension to help make trove creation easier. I also think we can make the editor experience a lot better, especially for less technical users who don't know Markdown.
On your second point, you're totally right that the demo could be a lot more compact. Honestly, I know I could have made it a lot more polished / rehearsed — but since we're changing the product a lot at this stage, I figured I'll be making another one soon enough :)

i'm someone who keeps a ton of github knowledge bases: - https://github.com/sw-yx/spark-joy/ - https://github.com/sw-yx/launch-cheatsheet/ - https://react-typescript-cheatsheet.netlify.app/ i should be your ideal user. i was very excited at the idea, but tried out the product and its clearly not there yet. but keep going. specifics: - i was looking for search scoped to my trove - collaborative editing, if it exists,…
I recently created a web application for curating one big shared public knowledge base.[1] Its contribution system is conceptually based on GitHub's pull requests and StackOverflow reputation. It's focused on tips for learning resources , so it seems ideal for your cheat sheets. Currently, creating lists of SDKs, tools, etc. is not very well supported, but we are working on it. And I already use it for these things,…

How is the infrastructure that you run this with? I would love some advice for future startups and side hobbies. What are your costs and plans to scale? I'm especially interested in the plans of new startups who might not go all out with hosting and servers due to budgeting and what not in the beginning.
All in (including the managed database) it's $65 / mo, which seems reasonable to me. (Could be even less, but I scaled up the droplets for this launch).
