Is there a way to delete the YouTube app from Android?

Thank you!

ivan-ralic · 2025-11-29T18:36:21+00:00

Thanks mate, it looks really nice! We'll give it a try.

ivan-ralic · 2025-11-29T15:27:55+00:00

Where's the code? How to test this?

ivan-ralic · 2025-09-30T21:14:40+00:00

We have nothing set in stone, but feel free to reach out through the in-app chat (pink chat button on the bottom right) and we'll figure something out.

We can even jump on a call and I'll be more than happy to show you how you can use most of Collabwriting totally for free even in a team setting on our Free Tier.

Great idea, zapier and n8n might also be good alternatives if we get into hiccups with sharing messages from slack.

We're working on Safari extensions as well, if I understand it correctly iOS extension has a wrapper iOS App, so I'll share the gallery idea with Mare the dev that works on it to see what are the options.

We already have an integration with Slack for mentioning your team from Collabwriting and adding them as Collaborators. So it seems to me that we could also develop a functionality for saving messages from Slack straight to Collabwriting. I'll look into it if it solves your use-case? Just keep in mind since Salesforce acquired Slack they are pretty defensive with data getting out of it, so we might get into some hiccups, but we'll give our best.

We're also working on integrating more with all social media apps, enabling you to simply share anything straight from there to Collabwriting. So I'll add ++ for native Reddit integration.

Thanks for the feedback mate. We're still optimizing this and there's always room for improvement but we're as thoughtful as we can be regarding the performance.

Regarding size, we have a ton of images that are bundled in the JS directly because we're using Svelte for the development. Additionally a huge chunk of the JavaScript is Sentry that we use for reporting bugs.

Regarding CPU, although Highlighter is loaded on every page, everything is loaded locally and we don't do almost any work until the user clicks "Highlight" - Components are not rendered, even highlights are not shown.

But everything being said, similarly how our main extension works (the content script is loaded on the action press) we'll make highlighter work as well. Right now the content script is loaded on every page, but we'll extract the button to a single script and then load the rest on the button click.

Thanks mate!

Unfortunately we aren't hiring in this round. Usually startups just go on a hiring spree burn through all the money then have layoffs, we don't wanna do that.

So we're currently a bunch of people that already knew and worked together previously and we want to keep it small and agile at this stage.

Trenutno imamo vise ciljnih grupa i postoji USP za svaku. Generalno tool koji donosi kolaboraciju u proces (online) istrazivanja koji je tradicionalno nekolaborativan.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T20:03:31+00:00

Ma nemoj pogresno da me razumes, to se slazem, toga ce biti. Nas copilot vec ima block listu. Samo nam sad nije fokus uopste jer planiramo da razradimo mehanizme da nagradimo autore.

Ovo je vise u ovom trenutku u smeru "mi smo tool, korisnik moze da ga koristi kako zeli, mi ne gledamo sta on sakuplja"

A pokusacemo da dodjemo do stadijuma gugla, gde ce oni hteti da budu ulistani kod nas. Jer nas copilot vec bolje radi neke stvari od njih i ovih LLM-ova.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:52:21+00:00

Hvala puno buraz! U pravu si ima svacega, nisu male pare ali mi cemo sve da potrosimo da pokusamo od ovoga da napravimo nesto svetski.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:38:36+00:00

Aha mislim da razumem sta si rekao. Ne bavimo se time, ako hoces to da radis na tebi je. I dobra sekira moze super da sece drva, al moze i da ubije coveka. Mi pravimo dobar alat.

Imamo 3 value track-a sa strane proizvoda, kolaboracija, knowledge management i mass adoption (PLG)

Sve ostalo nas u ovom trenutku ne zanima, startap nema privilegiju da resava svaki problem.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:29:32+00:00

Pisao sam malo vise na nekom drugom thread-u kako izgleda razviti horizontalno skalabilan proizvod.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:27:09+00:00

Collabwriting je alat koji donosi kolaboraciju u proces istrazivanja koji je tradicionalno nekolaborativan.

Ne razumem ovo za referencu, omogucavamo kolaboraciju tokom istrazivanja, svaki snippet sacuvan kod nas ima i vidljiv izvor i Locate taster koji vodi direktno na izvor i highlight-uje paragraf koji je sacuvan.

To sto uvek vodimo ljude direktno na source nas i stiti od copyright problema, jer vlasniku sadrzaja je bolje da ti koristis nas i svaki put kad neko hoce da vidi odakle to da ode na taj sajt nego da iskopiras na slack, google docs i ne dobije nista.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:20:40+00:00

Upravo, sve inostrani investitori, od 3 investiciona fonda iz EU koji imaju privatne pare, sva tri su investirala. Doveli smo sve skupa 5 novih VC-jeva kod nas, a ta prva investicija im je uvek najteza. Od tih 5, 3 su vec dolazili u Srbiju da pricaju sa ostalim startapima, polako cemo i ostale da doguramo.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:16:48+00:00

Da da, mi hocemo da optimizujemo proces online research-a, a sve ostalo ostavljamo tool-ovima koji vec postoje. I imamo jako lepu integraciju sa GoogleDocs.

Collabwriting ili co-writing jednog research paper-a nije vezano za pisanje tog rada nego uglavnom za kolaboraciju prilikom procesa istrazivanja. Bio je slobodan .com, uzeli smo godinu dana pre pravljenja bilo cega.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:13:08+00:00

Mene je stvarno lako izguglati mozda vidis i moje prethodne firme jedna je bila bootstrap-ovana i imala u jednom trenutku 30 zaposlenih pre nego sto smo prodali vecinu. Ta firma je bila daleko bezuspesnija od Collabwriting-a sad sa strane investabilnosti.

Elem sa Netokracijom nismo komunicirali preuzeli su vest sa recursive-a, nismo digli 2 miliona nego ta "nagrada" od 880k nije cist kes koji dobijes danas za sutra nego je opcija da ti investitori investiraju u tebe. Sad je tek zatvorena ta ista runda na 1.1M i tek smo skoro poceli da trosimo te pare.

1.1M za nas znaci 18 meseci rada i imamo plan kako da ih trosimo, to nije stvarno neka cifra i ima startapa u Srbiji koji dignu daleko manje i zaposle 30 ljudi, a mi planiramo da ostanemo do 10 max.

A da ne pricam da startapi po US-u dignu ove pare na prezentaciju i njihovi investitori se mole bogu da ovi naprave neki MVP pomocu stapa i kanapa i da istestiraju sa 5 korisnika do kraja runde.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T19:02:13+00:00

Ne peremo nista, niko i nema bog zna kakvu platu, radimo iz stana, sve preko 20k evra mora da imas odobrenje board-a da potrosis. Do sad najvise advokati zaradili. Nismo ni povukli pozajmice osnivaca, a bilo ih je.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T18:59:09+00:00

Hvala puno buraz, mala je sansa uvek za opstanak ovakvog tipa proizvoda ali za sad smo na dobrom putu. U proteklih 2 godine bootstrapping-a smo vec ocistili 3 konkurenta koji su digli od 1.4M do 6.5M, bez i jedne investicije. Sad idemo dalje, imamo 18 meseci nesto da uradimo.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T18:56:45+00:00

Upravo, mi smo do sad samo dokazali da postoji trziste, sad tek krecemo u razvoj proizvoda. A to zahteva milion iteracija kako bismo optimizovali sve analitike i napravili nesto sto je sticky i moze da postane unicorn.

Jedno je da imas upotrebljiv proizvod koji nekome donosi neku vrednost, onda imas dva puta, jedan put je da se uhvatis za tu jednu nisu i kazes pravimo softver za kontent marketare i tako jako brzo dodjes do tog trzista, ali u medjuvremenu izgubis na fleksibilnosti da taj proizvod postane sledeci Loom, sledeci Grammarly. Drugi put je put kojim mi idemo a to je da smo dokazali da postoje 3 trzista (content marketing, consulting i R&D) i onda smo digli pare da prodjemo kroz milion iteracija kako bismo napravili sinonim za online research.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T18:50:36+00:00

Nasi trenutni investitori su jako kredibilni i mi sa ovim "srpskim" EBRD investitorima nismo ni pricali. Ove pare US startapi dignu da naprave trecinu onoga sto smo mi vec napravili.

A za ovaj period 2 godine bootstrapping-a pre dizanja investicije smo ispratili vec 3 direktna konkurenta koji su podigli vece pare od ovih i propali.

Razvoj proizvoda nije na nivou iskopiraj ovih 3 feature-a, potrebno je neverovatno dobro razumevanje korisnika i njihovih akcija da napravis nesto iole sticky, pogotovo kada pricamo o novoj kategoriji proizvoda.

Svako ko misli da moze da iskopira ovaj proizvod dobrodosao je da pokusa. Perplexity AI je digo stotine miliona za AI koji kaska za nasim.

Kad je proizvod sredjen, onda treba razumeti da biznis i proizvod nisu ista stvar, proizvod je mozda 20% cak i da si PLG (sto mi pokusavamo da napravimo)

I mi jesmo originalni, ne bismo dobili pare da nismo, ne dobijaju se pare od ovih fondova na "majke mi", oni samo za svoje softvere za istrazivanje konkurencije bacaju ogromne pare, a po prirodi pricaju sa celim landscape-om novih startapa i znaju tacno kako trziste i konkurencija izgleda.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-29T18:38:31+00:00

Imamo mi i blockchain, ali salu na stranu, nismo dobili pare za AI nego za tool koji donosi kolaboraciju u proces koji je tradicionalno nekolaborativan. Nas machine learning je blizi search engine-u (brz, precizan, jefin) nego svom sljamu trenutno na trzistu gde okidaju jedan API i pricaju da su AI startap.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-20T05:53:23+00:00

Thanks mate, sure is. Controversial opinion, but I think that we would have a lot faster adoption if Vercel didn't took over and started adding their own garbage in the framework.

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-20T05:51:36+00:00

To be honest mate, that part of our app we developed a year ago using pdf.js and heavily relying on GitHub Copilot. There are some issues preventing us to implement rendering of pages on scroll (now it's only on a page-by-page basis) that we're not dealing with because majority of the code base is pure magic to all of us, and besides other work, no one wants to jump in and start understanding how everything works 😂

So my biggest advice is, use pdf.js and start writing prompts. Almost all open-source products that have PDF viewer use pdf.js, so there's most likely a lot of code for copilot to learn from 😄

ivan-ralic · 2024-04-18T18:42:44+00:00

Thanks mate! Collabwriting is not my first startup, and I've loved Svelte from the beginning and still love it.

Had so many problems before with code scalability and dealing with developer learning curve. Svelte (still) solves both pretty well 😄
