Looks great! This is definitely useful. Only two things, when I go to add a service, dropbox is not appearing as an option for me. Also, it was not immediately clear to me how I would delete a collections folder. I kept trying to right click the icon in the left panel but I now see that if I click My Collections there is a minus botton at the bottom.

Thank you! We disabled Dropbox and Gmail for now, we'll put them back when our integration is more reliable. You can delete collections with 'Delete' key or '-' button at the bottom of the screen. But agreed we should definitely make UI for this more obvious.

Looks amazing, I need to upgrade from 10.6 as well :( I noticed on the site that the "Download for free" button at the bottom says "10.7 and above", which needs to be corrected?

Thanks! Just updated the subtitle for the footer download button to reflect that. Our next short term goal is to make the app Lion-compatible.

I've watched the video, it intrigued me and left me with these questions: Can you put an item in multiple collections at once? Can a collection be inside another collection?

Thanks! We used to support nested collections and 'single item - multiple collections' in the intermediate versions, but decided to disable it for the overall simplicity of the v1. We'll bring it back when/if many users really want it.

Awesome, thanks! Can't wait to use it!

I tried the app out of the other day. I'm not sure if its still in beta, but the app lacks a lot of polish. And as of typing this it just crashed. Definitely has potential though, but I might wait a little while to I consider using it again.

Thank you! We'll work hard to make it better!
