Any plans on a linux client?
You can actually download a linux build from: https://download.slapdash.com/
The one thing we have left is fixing auth. We auth in the browser and then open the desktop app to pass the auth tokens to the desktop client. However, this hand off is more difficult to achieve with Linux (can't just open slapdash:// URLs as easily as you can on OS X and windows).
There is a work around hack, where if you can get the auth token from the browser and manually add it to Slapdash.
The steps are: Open Chrome Dev Tool Console right inside the desktop app (F12 or Shift+Ctrl+I) and run something like:
location.hash = "#/lt?token=..."
We will of course build a more person-friendly UX before we make the linux client more widely available.

I just checked and it looks like the confirmation email was blocked. One way to unblock is to sign up with a Google account (which won't require the email verification). Otherwise, feel free to email me (ivan@slapdash.com) and I can help confirm your account.
Thanks for unblocking. The onboarding is a bit weird as i don't really know what i want to use this for, i guess creating github issues, but then i got distracted between installing the desktop app and trying to read the "get started". Also i still don't really understand what "spaces" are supposed to be? When creating github issues the first thing i wanted to do is create a command, that would include which repo i w…
If you think of Slapdash as sort of an OS, today Spaces are kind of like folders. You can build them manually, or with rules (a saved query). It's a means of organization -- which is complimentary to the problem of information retrieval. It also lets you add arbitrary things to the Slapdash graph (any URL) - which helps with making Slapdash more comprehensive outside of the apps we have coverage for.
You will certainly be able to extend existent commands. We are in the process of exposing our command-building primitives so custom commands can be as sophisticated as the ones we write.
We will improve coverage with the MSFT stack, and the use-cases you mention (launch a zoom call with a person, schedule a meeting with a person) are actually right around the corner.
This is very cool. I just installed it. I was curious, can you speak to how this differentiates from https://getcommande.com/ ?
Both Slapdash and Command E can search apps, but Slapdash can do other things too: * You can also write to applications, it's not just read-only (create docs, file issues, close tasks, upload files, etc.) * You can browse the structure of applications in Slapdash (not just search them). * You can build sophisticated queries (show all tasks open tasks, that mention this customer, render it as a list) * We are client-a…
I was once being recruited to join a company with pretty much an identical product/business model. Back then things were much more file share/desktop based but pretty much the same value prop. Give away your passwords to all sorts of locations and we search it all, index and let you find things easily.

Why did having co-workers with an NSA/FBI background dissuade you from working there?
Exciting stuff, web interfaces can suck.

Because the whole thing was clearly an NSA corp with the main objective to funnel data to gov agencies disguised as a very helpful app.
People with an intel background doesn't make it an NSA op. The NSA grabs top talent all the time, and companies grab them when they leave.
Im curious how you spotted the spooks :)

Are you using sendgrid? They've been having a lot of issues with spammers recently so it could be affecting your delivery rates.
Yeah, it's SendGrid. Good to know.
