Hey, PH fellows π
Guess who's back with an upgraded Manganum after over a year? π
Last year's launch was an incredible journey, with lots of support and comments from your side. Today, we're thrilled to present Manganum 2.0, an even better, sleeker, and more efficient version.
A quick rewind to who we are: Manganum was born out of a desire to revolutionize Google Chrome, not just as a browser but as a dynamic and efficient workspace. From carefully curated backgrounds to finely tuned effects and animations, every detail of our extension is crafted with passion, dedication, and lots of coffee.
We've worked hard to address your feedback, enhance features, and bring you the best browsing experience you've ever had. Here is a short list of features:
πGet soft notifications for upcoming calls and join them in one click;
πQuickly scan and clean your inbox without a separate tab open.
πChat with AI on any tab without losing context.
πTake notes effortlessly, without switching tabs and focus.
πUse the vertical tab manager to access open tabs
and recent history.
πSelect text on any page and get its automatic translation without switching tabs.
Try it out, share your honest opinions, and let us know how to improve it.

@alexei_rudak Thank you for your support! Manganum was launched in late 2021, so it took a couple of years of consistent work to get a base of incredible users. Manganum was also free back then, so it was easier for people to start using it.
@kirill_krasnogir Thank you so much! Exploring new opportunities in a crowded space is always a challenge, but we're committed to making a positive impact. Your support means a lot! ππ
So... most of the sidebar is simply "fancy" bookmarks, with the "benefit" of opening those sites in a narrow window instead of full screen. :-/ I'm not sold on the "Do xyz without switching tab" pitch.
@vicky_buddie Hi Bikram, and thanks for your feedback. That's sad to hear you don't see an additional value in Manganum. Our existing customers value the one-click assess to the tools of daily use, as it saves them a lot of time in the long run. They also share Manganum helps them to stay focused and not lose context while working on the tasks, and that's exactly what our sidebar is designed for.
If you decide to give Manganum a try, we will be happy to hear your feedback and discuss specific features you like or dislike. With you happy browsing! π
First of all, my big congratulations!π
The second, quick question. What inspired you to create Manganum, and how has it evolved from its initial launch to Manganum 2.0?
@xeniagoron Happening. I had the idea long before this. But at the beginning of 2021, circumstances were such that I started.
1. I had small savings, a little less than 100,000 USD.
2. I have long wanted to launch a startup.
3. I was left without a job with many unusual experiences in browsers and browser extensions.
So I decided to start Manganum.
About the second version. In fact, it's only now that it looks like the product I had in mind. The first launch was very early. It contained about 5% of the features that we have now.
@yankovichv your story deserves to be told across podcasts related to indie-founders and startups. There are a lot of people who are afraid of making their first step in building their own business and have a lot of doubts about themselves! So your story might inspire them.
@ititov_agency Hi Dmitry! The list of our competitors is quite large, yet there are no absolute leaders or key players on the market. We can find strong competitors if we focus on one of our features, yet our main advantage is that we have not one, but 12+ integrated apps available in one extension, that are always by your side at any chrome tab.
Hey team, brilliant job on the launch! Your product seems like a one-stop solution to streamline productivity. One suggestion, it'll be cool if there's an integration with social media platforms as well. Keep it up, folks!
@yankovichv@darya_skd@hleb_haiduk@jdavydko
@daxeelsoni Thank you for the kind words and your suggestion! We appreciate your input.
Connecting social media is not currently in our plans, as we want to maintain streamlined distraction-free experience. Our focus is on optimizing workflow and making people productive with their work. For many, social media is a part of social distractions that make it more difficult to get real things done.
If you have any more thoughts or suggestions, feel free to share! π
@darya_skd I totally understand where you're coming from! Keeping the focus on productivity and limiting distractions is indeed a wise decision. Keep up the awesome work and I can't wait to see how this evolves. π
