@adithya Will take that as a compliment! Was a Keep user (among many others) for some time myself and it definitely offered some inspiration for Index.
But Index is built as a layer above storage and traditional note apps like Keep, Evernote, Dropbox, and similar. It's built to be more of a configurable dashboard than just a bookmarking app. Personally I think of it more akin to Trello that holds anything and is waiting everywhere to catch anything you #tag.
Also check out /commands in Index. It's thought provoking! We're super excited about a follow up release that is going to really demonstrate the power that a command dashboard can offer. We always wanted to build an evil genius control panel for the masses. But we instead decided to build a benevolent genius control for the masses. 😄
Thanks for hunting! ✨💎✨
I’m going to put this in a rather odd way:
I.. am.. shocked!
@0xc00010ff I wasn’t expecting to find the UX so incredibly captivating and the workflow so very much in tune with how I actually like to organize my dos and things. Truly amazing work.
I want to take this to extreme testing and get all my current stuff in and see where it takes me. Is there any ETA for the Mac app? How can I extend eventual limitations (if there’s any)? Anything for Producthunters?
I wish the best for the project/team. I’m looking forward to testing it and, if things go well, help out. Sincere congratulations.
@lyondhur umm... that’s like the best response anyone could ever hope for when releasing a product. I’m absolutely flattered. Seriously just made my year. Mac app coming next week. Please email me your username at brian@indexapp.com so I can give your account full superuser status forever.
@indexapp @0xc00010ff This is awesome mate, cheers! I have just sent you an email with an UX outline of why I'm so excited about your project. Now, I have to go to bed as well. Talk again soon. Enjoy a cool day mate. Cheers again.
@0xc00010ff I have to agree (not only bc I would love to have a superuser status). I love the simplicity that allows for extremely well organized collections. Fits my way of storing things right to the letter. Seriously awesome product!
Hmm, it's not obvious how to open a tagged web page in safari. I feel like it's locked in the index app for some reason and I want to get it out. What if I want to share a real link, without the index wrapper?
@0xc00010ff This product is fantastic! We going to be able to download the assets we index? And are those assets indexed at the same resolution as the original files? Thanks in advance.
Hi
I went to the site and I liked the concept (It looks good to organize my thoughts, ideas, and references
But the site does not allow to signup on the web, and the playstore does not allow me to get the app because of geoblocking to my country (Brazil)
Please, fix the country blocking and or allow people to sign up on the web too
Tks
@0xc00010ff Haha! This is of-course your thingy! I was to reach out to Anthony (of TechCrunch) to ask him whether he knows your Twitter handle in order to you here.
Great handle btw, the world cannot figure you out on twitter!
@0xc00010ff And hey! how should I reach you? Would have to discuss something
Great service to collect and tag all important stuff :)
Waiting for the desktop (Windows and Mac) app now
Pros:Super great service
Cons:None
@taylor_banks Great question! Index stores everything in the AWS cloud, backed up multiple times a day. All of your sensitive information is encrypted with the utmost care and observance of modern protocol. And later this year we're adding full encryption at rest even to your notes and bookmarks. The databases have a single permission for the API servers, so we personally can't explore data. The team would NEVER look at user's personal data, even if we could. That is something we will always hold sacred.
@0xc00010ff roger that, thanks. Sadly, I'm holding out for a zero knowledge solution to this problem. While I might be able to trust that *your* team would never look at user data, the mere capability exposes that same data to potential bad actors. Love the idea, and will continue to monitor your progress. :)
@taylor_banks I respect your high standards and cannot wait to reach back out when we are locked down and encrypted to the bit.
@juanscv great question! Index is an organizational layer above your existing storage and bookmarking tools- it’s fantastic for bookmarking but the real utility is in allowing you to control the content that lives in all your many services. It’s like a super simple aggregator for *all* of your stuff.
Would love to be able to test this out; living in Canada and can't access in the Play Store.
@michaelibrooks fixed for you and a lot of other countries! Thanks for pointing that out.
@michaelibrooks @0xc00010ff I am from Brazil and the App does does not appear too
ps: remove geoblocking from your app att play and appstores becuase you are losing a lot of potential new users
I loved the concept of the app to organize my ideas, resources and inspiration ;)
BTW: Try allowing to signup also in the site
Tks
@michaelibrooks @cris_firmo We're in Brazil now ❤️. Site login coming soon- just have to also build a pretty welcome interface so people know what they can do with Index.
Just installed the Android app and will get Chrome extension later. Looking to see if this will work for my daily work flow and tons of scribbled notes
It looks like the product has been abandoned. Can't get a response from Brian. He had been very responsive. I paid for a year. Got ripped off. Really poor
@iamsooraj For now 🙃. The MacOS and Windows icons are grayed out because we had to put development on hold for our big launch. After the dust settles, we'll get you that Mac app. Should be out in a week or less! 🙌
This app has the capability of keeping me organized
Pros:It keeps ME organized
Cons:None found
I'm currently a Workflowy user and would be curious as to how this might be better?
@thecoppinger I LOVE workflowy. I remember where I was when I first downloaded the app. Don't stop using it! Index sits a level above that, so just Index your workflowy home page and add it to your #daily dashboard (just as an example, you can call it #anything), alongside your Dropbox files, link to Gmail inbox, and whatever else is part of your daily workflow. Or if you want to buy in to Index further, Index individual nodes in workflowy as part of another #idea.
@0xc00010ff Gotcha, that makes sense! I'm putting my introduction of new tools on pause until the dust from Workflowy has settled, but I'll make a note to check this out soon. Thanks Brian, all the best with this!
Index basically bookmarks stuff, using tags. Evernote does that but also clips whole pages or simplified versions, stores docs, allows rich text, works offline, and lots more. EN has its drawbacks but is overall far more productive. Using Index as a layer on top, as its makers more sensibly suggest when they're not tweeting "Sorry Evernote", would add complexity and require online access all the time.
Pros:Flexibly nestable tags
Cons:It's promoted as an Evernote replacement but doesn't come close.
Tagging is super streamlined, making it the quickest and easiest way to save content and organise things.
Pros:Simple and customisable
Cons:More commands, and a bit of finessing that I'm sure will come
Great way to organize my photos and research into one place. I have enjoyed the app so far!
Pros:Clean and simple, intuitive.
Cons:just keep going with more features.
