First off — thanks @nikkielizdemere for hunting us! 🎉🎉🎉
Hi everyone, I'm Wes. Thanks for checking out Trove!
The initial concept for Trove was borne out of a frustration my co-founder Kunal and I had while researching startup ideas. We would often come across excellent resources that related to one of the ideas we were investigating, but we found there was no great way to organize these resources, annotate them with our own thoughts, and share our annotations with one another. Text messages were unwieldy for long-form thoughts, Google Docs & Notion didn’t provide enough structure, and emails quickly became buried. In a world of abundant information, simply being able to sift through and organize it all is now the biggest challenge.
To tackle this problem, we decided to build Trove. We think the beauty of Trove is in its simplicity. Trove makes it easy for anyone to curate their own digital library of the things that matter to them, and to seamlessly share their knowledge with others.
Some use cases for Trove:
🔖 Bookmarking
Read a thought-provoking article? Found a delicious new recipe? Came across an entertaining YouTube video? Received yet another book recommendation? Use our Chrome extension to add links and annotations into Trove directly from your browser.
🗃️ Organizing Your Research
Writing a paper? Planning a trip? Learning a new topic? Researching which product to buy? Use Trove to store, organize, and annotate the best resources you found.
🤝 Collaborating
Knowledge is better when shared. Easily add collaborators to troves and allow them to add resources and annotations to your library.
🔎 Discovering Great Content
Follow friends and experts and fill your feed with thought-provoking curated content on any topic.
And to take things meta, here's a trove with some more detailed thoughts on how you might use Trove, and some examples: https://trove.to/wes/trove/b9aa3...
Looking forward to your feedback and questions!
@nikkielizdemere@wesley_dencker Hi - seems like a great product, but it looks like your website link (trove.to) doesn't work, you might want to check it!
@pregenun Hey John, it's interesting that you say that as I'm also an are.na user. I have found it great for visually organizing images, but tough to use when trying to insert more text content—we wanted to make Trove a true multi-media supporting platform. I think are.na is one of the coolest products out there and really love how 'mindful' I feel while scrolling, something that really doesn't happen in most places on the internet, and certainly something the folks over there have spent a lot of time on.
