Hey everyone! I'm Nina, the CEO of Channelkit and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!
Channelkit is a web tool aimed primarily at creative professionals that enables to collect and organise content of all formats (links, images, videos, files etc) into a neat visual knowledge base.
We're big advocates of filing as opposed to piling and built the product around this idea.
You can assign all content you add to preset categories or make cusom ones (you can adjust description fields, display etc.) - these are neatly displayed as cards that you can group any way you want and either keep private or share.
We've been committed to the idea of building the perfect visual knowledge management tool for a few years now, making continuous design and functionality changes. This version we are releasing now is the one we're finally proud of :)
what a beautifully designed website. shame the pricing seems a bit high

@_jacksmith I agree, especially with Refind being free and doing an amazing job at bookmarking and categorizing, $11/mo is simply not going to happen for me. $11/yr would be a different story probably. Then it'd be up there with Pinboard. I do really like the card idea tho hats off to good design. 🎩👏🏼
@anodigital@_jacksmith Thank you for the design comments! As for the pricing - I hear you. We are more geared towards the community of creative professionals, who we spoke a lot to while building Channelkit 2.0. We've put special emphasis on the content organisation functionality and the design that gives a sense of ownership and helps use the content, rather than just pile it. We're aiming to generate enough value for them in their work to justify the price, and we believe that when we build everything that's in the pipeline now, we should be able to do it :)
I really enjoyed using Channelkit to create a board of some of my favorite growth sites and articles: https://www.channelkit.com/325/k...
Channelkit reminds me a little of Pinterest, but for professionals who wish to share their links more privately.
@ninazavr lovely website and really something we all need. even though i am not a "creative" type, i can see myself using it to do mindmaps and exploratory design collections. We use private boards on pinterest for some of that right now :) Pricing is a little steep for me, but i am guessing for creative types where their livelihood depends on being organized , it makes sense

Very cool design and implementation but the pricing is too high for something I could do most of on Trello or Evernote for free. Needs to have a more compelling differentiator. Maybe offer a discounted yearly price?
Hi Nina. Congrats on your launch! Great to see more beautiful products from Russians :)
Really like what you're doing and Channelkit seems very promising. Although I couldn't figure out the way to fit it to my workflow. It seems like an alternative to Evernote on one hand but on the other it's a visual bookmarking tool (which is great – I personally struggle with Pinboard's lack of visual options). But at the same time I couldn't stop seeing Pinterest in here. Channelkit definitely needs a bookmarklet or browser extension to quickly save things from the web but I guess it's just a matter of time.
Anyway, beautiful product and good luck to you guys! :-)
looks great, but given the need to explore how it works and then figure out if it is a "must have," I would suggest a freemium plan and offering - perhaps let me make three cards for free with no share options
@passingnotes David, would love to hear feedback. We're aiming to make Channelkit a "must have" and work with feedback to improve the product, so that pricing would be less of an issue.
I like the idea and the design, so I'm curious to see how this develops further.
Having said that, I think it is too early to start charging users. Some important features seem to be missing, some existing flows need to be more polished. Not to mention limited mobile support.
To be more specific, one big missing feature for me is the ability to search for cards. Another concept that requires more work would be keywords. I can't see how I can access keywords outside of a card. Anyway, I didn't mean to be the guy that suddenly suggests random features without understanding the vision of the product. I only wanted to point out that the current version doesn't seem polished enough to really start charging.
The pricing alone also needs to be evaluated. To put it in perspective, ChannelKit is almost 3 times as expensive as Evernote, which can be seen as a (more ugly) competitor. .
@michal_subel Michal, thank you for the very right comments. We're working on search and more key features, which we release within the month. We do not want to charge for a raw product and are pushing hard on this.
As for the comparison with Evernote - we're very much focused on the creative community, where design and visual functionality are important and key for it to be used as a work tool.
