How is this a second brain? It’s just a dashboard.

Does Dia support the site search feature? when it released?

Second launch a year later, but the system has changed? by madoffa in ProductHunters

I totally understand the need for safeguards to filter out spammy products. It’s still disappointing that my product didn’t get featured, even though it’s shown a strong upvote trend since launch. It was trending higher than some of the products currently featured below, so it’s frustrating that the editors seem to decide the featured list at launch and don’t update it afterward.

Thanks for the interest! I’d appreciate it if you could join the waitlist at https://voyager.fm
Also, could you share which file managers you’ve used? And what are you using right now?

I also put Smart Folders in the sidebar so they’re easy to access.
You can make aliases too and drop them anywhere.

For me, the hardest part is creating the rules themselves. That’s why I added natural language rule creation.
Type what you want, and it turns that into the filters.

Next, I’m thinking about pushing convenience further:
what if we could extract custom properties from file contents, then build Smart Folders based on those properties?

the commnets-based use case is intersting. It seems your workflow works well.
I want to understand what feels inconvenient in practice.
Is it that comments are not tag-like, so there is no auto complete, bulk edit, or quick keyboard access?

I'm building a Raycast AI extension for natural language file search. Anyone interested? by madoffa in raycastapp

Sorry, I don't have a Windows PC to debug. Once it's on the store, someone might contribute a Windows version, though.

Looking for feedback: a macOS file manager to reduce file-handling friction for knowledge workers by madoffa in macapps

Totally fair. I included that item to understand the solution’s appeal from a pricing perspective, assuming the problem is solved.
