I’m one of the devs on Kobble. Thanks for the comments. When you start the app, there is tutorial information and videos on the first screen. We do agree that the landing page could use improvement. The data model is somewhat like YouTube,

I'd just like to announce public and private repo support in Kobble. All data is now stored in a public or private repo, depending on how you log in.

I'm one of the Kobble devs. This is intentional. Please read the comments above about public and private use of Kobble. The intros on the web have been clarified also.

We are trying to clarify the multiple ways Kobble can be used. Gists are for public data that you want to share. Private repos (coming soon) are for private data. I think the intros on the web make this clearer now.

I'm one of the devs on Kobble. There was debate about the names - it's not easy. 'channel' seems good, it's used by Slack also, and one of our channels is similar. 'track' however, is another story. It&#x2

We are honing our marketing message. Kobble is much more than just a notes app. It's also a content sharing platform. That's why some of the names were chosen. I think 'track' is causing the most confusion. It's bas

Many shortcuts will appear next week, making it easier to get started, so please check back.

We have improved the wording, and changed 'own' to 'control'. As was stated elsewhere in these comments, we are building an open content sharing platform where users 'control' the data, not us. Since it's

Please read the comments above about the multiple ways that Kobble can be used. Our use of gists for openly sharing content was entirely intentional.

I'm one of the devs for Kobble. Since Kobble is such a versatile tool, it can be quite difficult to tune a marketing message clearly. We are working on it! One of Kobble's primary uses is as an open content sharing platform. GitHu

I'm one of the devs on Kobble. Kobble is a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of ways. One way is as a content sharing platform. Gists are great for this purpose, because as you have noted, the discovery mechanisms are largel

Public and private repos are coming soon, via GitHub Integrations.

True, but it's less 1M compressed. Including the other static files, it's still less than 1M for the entire app.

I think we assumed that GitHub users would know that gists are not private. We added a clarification to the onboard slideshow. Support for public and private repos is coming, via GitHub Integrations.

We appreciate all the comments. We'll think about this.

These are all great suggestions. You'll see shortcuts drop next week. Maybe even better than you expect :).

Yes, you do need a GitHhub account.

GitHub Integrations are coming!

Perhaps the word 'control' would be a better choice.

by kobble 9y ago
Fair enough. Didn't mean to come across as insisting. There was much debate about the term track. Project is closer, but has problems also. Cheers.

by kobble 9y ago
Good point. There is only so much you can say in one line on HN. Marketing is tough. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Duly noted and fixed. Most of the data in Kobble is built with Kobble, so changes are trivial.

Not the web version. Other versions are in the works. Stay tuned.
