This is extremely useful. Such a "neat" idea and it's perfectly executed. Congratulations on the launch! Are you planning to build something similar for other operating systems as well?

@nitinranganath Great to hear, Nitin. Our product is built using Electron so we can easily distribute to Windows and Linux in the future but we’re starting support with macOS before expanding. What OS do you use?
Nitin Ranganath
That is great to hear! I use Windows and Linux primarily. Would love to have Neat on my devices as well.

@nitinranganath @sarimmalik The app looks beautiful and is really useful, but I have to uninstall it due to Electron - using 200mb of memory when inactive, maybe you could switch to something like Tauri?

@nitinranganath I've made a note for this on my end, will reach out when we ship to Windows and Linux :)

@quiibz before launching, we reduced the app size by 46% and I think we can shrink it more. I've been running Neat for over 2 months now and it's never in my top apps that consume energy but I understand your concern. Eventually, we'll probably build the app in Swift to take advantage of those small app sizes.

Hey everyone 🤝 We're really excited to open access to Neat for everyone. Thanks Hiten for hunting. We built Neat to simplify the way we receive and process web notifications, starting with GitHub. For long, notifications have been synonymous with being annoying, lacking context, and clogging Email inboxes and Slack channels. Neat helps you regain control and improve your workflow efficiency by receiving, processing, and acting on web notifications - all from one place. Some of the game-changing advantages of Neat are: - Simple - Notifications from the web come straight to your desktop - Contextual - Notifications are expandable with inline preview - Helps prioritize - Important notifications can be pinned to top - Actionable - Silent notifications for unactionable items - Gives control - Mark as read and unread - Instantaneous - Jump to your latest notification with a single keystroke - Convenient - Keyboard shortcuts for everything - Secure - All your data is stored locally on your computer I hope that you will try Neat and join our community - a group of engineers, founders, and problem solvers. I'm really excited to share the product with you all and would love to answer any questions below. Cheers!

Love the idea! Literally needed this yesterday 👌 Looks... neat 😆 Would love to ask ?makers, is there a business model behind it? Or still TBD?
Ted Spare

@petersuhm Thank you Peter! For the pun too 😆 We do plan on adding a paid tier in the long term. As of today, Neat is free to use. Try it out and let me know what you think!

I've been using Neat in beta for the past few months, it's SO much better than getting GitHub notifications through email or Slack. Love the inbox zero approach to notifications, it helps me stay on top of time-sensitive PR reviews and comments. Planning to expand beyond GitHub any time soon? 👀
Ted Spare
Maker
@maxmusing Thanks! Your feedback has shaped the product. Inbox zero is the goal. The next apps in our roadmap are Linear, Sentry, and Notion (the tools we use). We're looking into integrating these vs making distinct products. That said, quite a few people have mentioned BitBucket 👀
Shaun MacLellan
Gotta love Neat and the team for building the killer product!
Ted Spare

@shaun_maclellan1 Thanks Shaun! One day we'll have a discount on Loot
Patrice Manser
Super cool and useful product idea 👌 Does it also support Atlassian BitBucket or is it bound to GitHub at the moment?
Sarim Malik
Maker
@patrice_manser thank you, Patrice. Currently, it's limited to GitHub but we plan on supporting BitBucket. Is your use limited to BitBucket for now or do you also use GitHub?
Patrice Manser
@sarimmalik At the moment only BitBucket since this is what we use in our company. For my side-projects I also use GitHub
Sarim Malik
Maker
@patrice_manser Sounds good. We'll make our integrations roadmap public soon, will share it with you when it comes out so we can prioritize the BitBucket support.
Channa Ranatunga
Such a Neat idea 😅 Love it 🔥
Kristofer Lachance
Love this idea!

I know the founder personally, and the level of dedication to the vision is insane. I'm looking forward to using neat for when I complete my SwiftUI course.
Ted Spare
Maker
@leoisbiking Best of luck with the SwiftUI course. Feel free to share this with any classmates in the same boat!
Bo Simango
Great product and fantastic work! I'm going to share this with developers that I know.

@gymkhana_07 Thanks for referring us, Bo! Anyone who uses GitHub in a team setting should benefit from this. Let me know if they have any questions.

@gymkhana_07 Thank you for this feedback Bo!
Bo Simango
@nuel_edeh Anytime! I think there is a lot of utility value to this platform and great to see Neat address this need.

@micahiverson Thanks for the Open Maker post, Micah!
Gavin Dove
This is a really neat idea 😏 In all seriousness, this is dope af, and saves a ton of menial switching between windows. Love how focused the product is, and how they take a page from Superhuman's keyboard shortcut navigation + gamification. Github Notif Zero?
Ted Spare
Maker
@gknd95 This pun is `passé` but I like the sound of Notif Zero 😏 We definitely take notes from Superhuman so we'll keep expanding keyboard shortcuts!
Rishi Mohan
Using it for some time now, going to be very useful. If it works as expected I finally won't have to keep the Github tab open
Sarim Malik

@qaplen awesome. If something isn't right for you, or would like improved, I am happy to follow up and make those improvements for you.
Rishi Mohan
@sarimmalik Sure, will let you know :)
Robert Cooper
I was an early adopter of Neat and it's been very helpful to help alert me of recent activity in pull requests I'm involved in!
Ted Spare
Maker
@robertcooper_rc Thanks for the running feedback Robert! Pull requests can be a bottleneck to shipping features.
Reem Alkhaldi
Very Good

Such a cool idea! We use GitHub almost daily and I believe your tool will come in handy 🙂
Sarim Malik

@dioiv great to hear, Diana. Would love to follow up with you about your experience and if we can improve anything for you 😊

?makers My Neat interface is empty but it says I have 9+ notifications.
Sarim Malik

@skwny do you mind sending us a screenshot of what your app view looks like at info@getneat.io? I'd be happy to support you

Mallowigi
This is neat, indeed. I've been using a similar extension for Chrome for a while now, https://chrome.google.com/websto... , but having it on the desktop is even better!
Ted Spare
Maker
@mallowigi Thanks for sharing this extension, Mallowigi. Neat also offers mark as done and unread count plus inline preview, copy link, mark as unread, and others. We'll continue to add more. If you have ideas, please download and join our Slack community!

As someone who uses Github on a daily basis, Neat is certainly a productivity-booster! Congrats on shipping! 🤩
