Good concept. Interface a bit clunky still. Needs a browser extension or something or it's gonna involve a lot of cutting and pasting. No obvious way to jump-start collections from existing data or broad searches. Has potential though.

Has potential, but is little bit rigid by design. It doesnt give the flexibility to add notes using markdown and links together. Also it is completely online, that is kind of a deal breaker for most people. Today with issue of privacy, people want data to be in their own control, offline accessible.

Like Trilium Notes does. I am not the author, but it is a really KB system.

Love the concept. I have been in need for a tool/service like this for a while. I now resort to creating my own slack workspace and using channels as a way to save links. Using chrome plugins is a crappy alternative. I don’t know if I would pay for it though. I would be amazing if after all the links you add, the system “predicts” or “recommends” what other links would be a good fit in this category, or help you auto organize better.

A recent thread about a similar product: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24004588

Personally, I think just those limits make this a non-starter for me. 30 resources per topic over 250 topics is a total of just 7.5k links, which is nothing. Charging $19.99 a year for that (and that's introductory pricing!) is insanity, especially when there's free bookmarking tools, some of which are even open source or self hosted.

E: Some less similar alternatives:

I'm not affiliated with any of the alternatives I've listed.

Thank you for your comment. It may sound a coincidence but I've updated the pricing and bundle limits (there was a typo in the pro 30 instead of 130..) just some minutes ago.

Have a good day!
