Writing the next chapter for Prismatic
- detaro 11y ago9 days warning, recommendation to export data is to manually copy out the URLs or send them to pocket, individually. In a news reader app where you've possibly have viewed and archived hundreds or thousands of articles. Another example of "don't trust startups with your data"
- sheepmullet 11y agoIn reality it is: Don't trust anyone with your data. I still struggle to understand why people use systems that don't have an inbuilt way to easily export their data.
- bachmeier 11y agoMore accurately, don't put your data in someone else's cloud. It could be a lot worse. A company could sell your data when they shut down the product, and there's not much you can do about it. What happens in a few years when Slack is no longer a hot new thing, revenue slows, and another company buys them out because they'd really love to mine that awesome dataset.
- detaro 11y agoUPDATE: and they just took the time to e-mail me to tell me about the export they just added, great response!
- minimaxir 11y agoMicrosoft apparently wanted to buy them in March: http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/01/prismatic-2/ http://techcrunch.com/2015/03/01/prismatic-2/ Guess that didn't go as planned.
- josep2 11y agoWill miss Prismatic a lot, I use the app everyday. Anyone know of a similar app?
- iampims 11y agoThey could at least offer automated exports of the links we've kept.
- jgalt212 11y agoYes, I agree. That feature shouldn't really be more than a few hours work.
- michel-slm 11y agoRIP Prismatic. Got into it from the Clojure community, and hoping they do well in their next endeavor -- and their libraries remain maintained esp. prismatic/schema !
- squidlogic 11y agoGoing to miss these guys. They wrote some beautiful clojure.
- alexkehayias 11y agoLove the work they open sourced in Clojure. Very sorry to see them go. I was a user of their app for awhile, but I tend to believe human led curation provides better signal to noise when it comes to content. It was a tremendous effort in trying to break that barrier and I'm thankful for all they contributed back!
- frobnicator 11y agoFor those asking about exporting saved articles, I just found an "Export Stories" link on the web in the profile drop-down menu.
- iampims 11y agoThe team at prismatic listened to our complaints about not being able to export our data: > Update: You can also export the URLs of all your saved stories in CSV format by first logging in to the webapp, and clicking "Export Stories" in the drop-down menu next to your avatar in the left side panel. Kudos for listening to the community, especially during what must be a difficult moment to go through.
