Hi PH! I'm Johnny, founder of Fabric. We're building a universal home for all information – a productivity and collaboration layer that spans everything. This latest release offers instant capture from the web browser, and weaves your data and content into your existing workflows – resurfacing notes, files and links when you make a Google search and browse. Why? Our digital lives are in chaos, and the tools and computers of today place the burden on the user, with steep learning curves and high effort. They don't work the way that people do, and they don't unite the scattered information from all our apps, clouds and devices together. At Fabric, we've built a universal storage technology, built natively on transformer models, so it works just like your mind does: through meaning and association, not folders and hierarchies. Instead of information being scattered, Fabric can connect to any data source, analyse and represent the data, as a part of your Fabric "brain". In this latest release, we weave intelligence and your data into the browser itself: 🔼 Intelligently surfacing your existing content as you browse, so you don't even have to go to Fabric to find it 📸 Providing instant capture from your browser into your AI-powered Fabric library 📌 Allowing you to create persistent notes on top of the internet, and any internet content How do you manage your digital chaos? I would love to hear your ideas, experiences, and feedback on any and all of the above.

@johnny_makes I have seen chaos sometimes in managing my notes and links. Looks interesting. Will give it a shot.

@amit_arora – excited to hear how you get on!

The idea of automatically bringing notes as you browse is interesting. Is it just based on whether or not I wrote a note when I was on this specific page or is it based on whether the content of the note could be relevant for this page?

@zmiro – it's based on the content itself, so we're resurfacing things based on meaning (the idea is to work like your brain does)

@zmiro – thanks so much!

Amazing feature to have. Great work. Congratulations. While I am so happy to see a product adding features at a great pace it still has the issue what was there in earlier beta as the app feels too webby every where even on mobile. Which makes UX so hard to use without simple swipe gestures or drag and drop if you coming from the apps like Craft which works smooth like butter! It feels like they chose a framework which is bad for mobile.

thanks @nilsej – we're on a mission to hit some product milestones, but rest assured, a native mobile app will come, we just have a few big things first :)

I feel like Fabric was imagined by a Safari user and then developed for Chrome for obvious reasons. And I don't blame you. But please folks for the love of God, as a Safari user I am BEGGING you: make Fabric for Safari sooner than later. We've been stuck with Pocket for 10+ years now. It's been real 😅

@alexanderspoor – we hear you! coming very soon :)

I love this concept of Fabric! Congratulations guys. Curious if AI notes are pulled from related content or only from previous notes. An interesting tool for efficient surfing.

@iimedr – Fabric draws upon anything that you've connected with it, or saved to it... so it's already a lot, and it's going to 100x in quantity in the next few months

Fabric team 👋. Let me just say, this app is everything I've ever thought note taking apps should do. Loved the fact that you don't need another tool to capture notes that is *peer* is to the browser, it's *on top of* browser. I am very proud of what you've built. Keep going, world needs this even though people may not realize it yet. Congratulations and I wish you all the best!

thanks so much @jatan_shah – it's early but excited to deliver a universal and easy solution for digital chaos!

Any way you can integrate other search engines besides Google? I hate giving them more information than I have to.
johnny makes ⚡️
@bob_lucore we will do! plan to support all major search engines, and to have a browser extension for all major platforms!

I can relate to the slogan on the website: "Read later" shouldn't mean "read never" 😆. Congratulations to the team on the launch, and I'll be happy to give that product a try! 🚀

Fabric is exactly what I’m looking for. However, it’ll be about a year before Fabric is actually useable. This browser extension is out of this world amazing. 🤯 So capturing content for Fabric is so easy and intuitive. But the platform itself? It looks like a college kids school project. The iOS app and macOS app are just the web app. The interface just isn’t anywhere near where it should be, or what the promo videos convey. Also, it’s just not intuitive. Too many buttons to press to do something simple. The notes feature is ugly and unwieldy. The AI image search doesn’t actually work. That’s a future feature that is touted as a current feature. I want what’s in the promo videos, because that’s what I know Fabric can be in a year or probably even two years—with the lack of consistent weekly updates. Even the tiny issues like linking to the Fabric discord doesn’t work. There’s just so much still to be done. I just wish the platform was as polished as the browser extension. In a year or two Fabric I believe will be competing with the top second-brain platforms—but for now… the promo videos are the most stable builds of Fabric so far.

@anthony123345 – we only started 6 months ago :) harsh feedback, but I agree that there's lots of polish still to come (though much, much sooner than 1 year) the image search does work quite well! but we're overhauling all the search architecture over the next two weeks, so lots of improvements to come!
Anthony Recenello
@johnny_makes I wouldn’t comment if I didn’t believe in Fabric and am really excited to be a full time customer. It seems like you guys are the only ones who understand what we want. But regarding the feedback, I’m probably one of the only commenters that are actively using Fabric everyday.
Congratulations on the launch! Saw you on Product Hunt. Well done!

Congrats on the launch team! This is an extremely intuitive product when surfing the web and I'll be sure to give it a try. Coincidentally, my startup provides powerful computer vision integration for apps like yours and I can see potential to expand your feature set. Let me know if you're interested! Best of luck.

oh very cool @sean_dorje, I'll take a look!
