Hi ProductHunt, On every project we’ve worked so far, there were dozens of different systems where people store important information. JIRA, Trello, Google docs, Github, email, Evernote, various wikis, you get the idea. It has always been a problem to efficiently navigate through all of them in order to find something. We believe it must be much easier and OneBar is how we see it. We want it to become a truly “The easiest way to search for things at work”. Here’s a link to our blog for those of you, who’d like to know more: https://blog.onebar.io/one-bar-t... And here’s another one, from which we draw some inspiration: https://medium.com/business-as-u... P.S. The last one is not ours. Hope you enjoy it! Let us know what do you think and what’s the story in your company.

Are the ingredients used for this supplement organic or is there some or all, thats are from synthetic chemicals?

@futi Got your joke) Frankly speaking, I'm not a big fan of fruit bars, but I think OneBar should be healthy!

It's made from Apple and it applies both to OneBar search engine and OneBar energy bar ;)

@fan_andy I want to play it cool and act as though this was a creative joke but unfortunately I just wrote a comment on the wrong product lol... (I deserve the Grandma infront of the computer meme)
Maxim Leonovich

@futi Haha! Surprisingly, it fits here too. There's an energy bar called onebar :)
Andrew Fan
Maker
@futi lol, before remember that OneBar is also a name of energy bar I found your comment a bit weird)
Chad Gilhoi
I like the idea! Does it work with Sharepoint?

@sluiceandroid Hey, we are not supporting it yet, but it is already on our TODO list. Let me know if you would like to connect, so we can talk more about your use case.

Can anyone tell me what it exactly does. Looks like too much tech savvy for me. I am asking because I have used jira for a while.
Andrew Fan

@kcaryas Hey, OneBar is the AI search assistant which helps you finding data stored in many separate places. If you use the different system including Jira instead of searching data in all systems one by one you can search it in OneBar

Hi @kcaryas , I think that closest analogy would be Apple Spotlight (or Microsoft Cortana, if you're a PC user), but instead of searching your computer, it searches across different systems you typically use at work. Right now those are Jira, Confluence, Google Docs and your code base. But of course, we are planning to add much more integrations in the future.
Kaycee Arya
@maxim_leonovich ok ok I understand. I have advice I use basecamp a lot followed by Gmail see if you can add them as soon as possible, that will give me the better idea. Thanks
Maxim Leonovich
Maker
@kcaryas Absolutely! I think we will try to survey people, who signed up after this launch, ask them which integrations they would like to see first and then proceed based on the feedback.

Wonderful, the website is down...

@erickbarron86 Sorry for that. ProductHunt effect, we will get online shortly!
Andrew Fan

@erickbarron86 We are up again! Sorry for inconvenience.

Thank you, Product Hunt people, for the perfect launch day! We've got a lot of sign-ups and they literally killed our infrastructure. We've made a few bad decisions on the architecture side, so several nights of hacking and fixing are ahead of us. We will be back online soon, we promise. Stay tuned!

Will it have an option for local search? i.e. searching for files in specific, work related folders? It looks like a cool idea by the way.
Maxim Leonovich
Maker
Thank you, @wearehyperion! In this version, we offer cloud only search and the data comes from a single index, available for every user in the company. However, for the future, we're considering an idea of "personal" indexes and that's where we can also introduce local search.

The OneBar described on this page has been discontinued, but the new one is shipping soon! https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

@maxim_leonovich wow man! congrats on the launch. I mean, based on the video, OneBar looks very impressive! Signing up now and will give it a try. Reminded me of Alfred for a second. I dont use Alfred, hence cannot compare haha
Gregor B. Rosenauer
I'm a bit hesitant to sign up, how does it collect the information it queries? Do I need to upload all my data first?;-) Or can I install it locally and query from there? I'm just confused because during signup, you get your own subdomain on onebar...
Maxim Leonovich

@grexe Hi Gregor, Right now you need to upload all your data, but we understand, that a lot of people may hesitate to do that. So, for the longer term we see two options: #1 for bigger companies we will offer on-prem version (we already do) #2 for some services, like gmail, we can just proxy the results from built-in search, so the data won't need to be downloaded to OneBar. But for right now yes, we download it to our side.
Marvin Borisch
If you offer a "try it out" then atleast make sure that keywords such as "test" or your own brand name will throw some results or give users an example what to search. Because right now the user-experience on your demo site is not convincing me to even use this for a test project.
Maxim Leonovich
Maker
@marvinpoo Thank's for giving it a try. Actually, both "test" and "onebar" lead to some results. The problem is that it may still be broken at times, we're actively fighting bugs and the search on the main page is slow and sometimes doesn't work. We're working on it and as soon as we get bugs fixed, we will also improve the demo experience.
Marvin Borisch
Starting a project with Mac + Linux instead of Mac + Windows is not very clever. Additional to the failed demo I am going to take away my upvote. Demo UX + lack of windows but standalone linux ... it seems like you are trying to ruin your start off on purpose. Nice program, extremely bad marketing.
Maxim Leonovich
Maker
@marvinpoo Windows is coming soon, it was just a bit hard to test windows version due to a lack of windows machines around :) Sorry for the bad experience, it's still at the beta/prototype stage and we have a long backlog of things to improve. But we will make it better, we promise!
