Hi guys,
Samiur from Journal here (https://usejournal.com https://usejournal.com). We started Journal with the goal of reducing information overload, and to see what would be possible if our knowledge - about people, projects, and ideas - was connected and easily accessible.
We think of what we're building as a new kind of journal. You write notes in it, save interesting links, and drop in important documents and messages for later. When you need something, ask Journal, and it helps you find it.
Eventually, we see it becoming a connected home to gather and share knowledge. You use the best services for issues, documents, messaging and more — and Journal ties them all together. We currently support integrations to Google (Gmail, Calendar, Drive) Slack, Dropbox (Files and Paper), Evernote, Pocket, and Atlassian (Jira and Confluence).
We're coming out of community beta today, and would love to hear your feedback!
If you'd like an early access code, please reply to this comment.
- arthurcolle 8y agohey i'd like a code. stochastic.thread@gmail.com
- zethraeus 8y agoadam@zethrae.us i'd love to try this
- sid6376 8y agoWould like one as well, siddharthsarda01@gmail.com
- kermittd 8y agoJust read the article. Seems like an awesome product! I have two questions: 1. Can I get a code (dkermitt@gmail.com? 2. The landing page of Journal is great. How did you go about designing it?
- rinchik 8y agoAsking users to volunteer their (personal?) email here in comments doesn't look very professional. Shouldn't you have some sort of form with analytics on your site for that?
- samiur1204 8y agoActually very true, please feel free not to post your email and I will reach out to you =). Also, we have a signup list on our landing page.
- nambit 8y agoHow's this different from Evernote? You keep saying "You ask journal, it'll find stuff for you" Can you get a little more technical? Is it just an indexed search on your notes/links?
- samiur1204 8y agoGreat question. We didn't go into too much detail, but we've built a conceptual search index which maps all these disparate items into vectors that are then used for searching, similarity, ranking, etc. Here's a talk by me from a while ago about an earlier version of the system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4O42EWfHoo&t=5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4O42EWfHoo&t=5s We can go more in depth on the current version of our system if you think that'd be interesting!

- noahdesu 8y agoI've been doing the exact same thing. And I think there is a lot of potential with google docs if combined with some of the google docs scripting capabilities to create a personal cms.
