Thanks @mwseibel for the hunt! Hi everyone, I'm Ali! Excited to share Trove with you!
𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 👋
@akshath_sivaprasad and I built Trove because we wanted a better way of bringing online knowledge into Notion.
For me, it was because I use August Bradley's PPV system, and found that I consistently 𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄 when copying and pasting research into Notion, or moving across Instapaper, Pocket, and Readwise just to highlight and add comments.
There are two main use cases where we found ourselves using Trove:
𝟭. 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱, 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 📚
Ex. Combing through documentation, learning a new language, understanding why dogecoin went up 80% yesterday.
𝟮. 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 💡
Ex. A stray comment on reddit, a meme about the Suez canal, the latest news about Elon Musk, or any of Naval's tweets
𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸? 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁? 👋

@eugenehp echo-ing Akshath - love that idea! Would love to chat to hear more about your use case to nail down specifics (how you'd want the quotation formatted, citations): https://www.calendly.com/ali-wet...
This is super needed... can I promote this on ExtensionList.io? If so, please make an account. I would love to email it to our list today.

@iambryansanders Hi! Absolutely yes! That would be wonderful! Just made an account 😃

?makers Two questions: 1) It would seem that all highlights have to be taken in a current session. I.E. I tested by highlighting and then opened the website again in a new session window and when I went to highlight, there were no preexisting highlights, I had to highlight again, and the Notion sync resulted in two database item entries. 2) Should the tool be pulling in the meta data from a page in some fashion for the title of the database item? That would be helpful, though it would be nice to be able to modify as well. Thank you!

@monicarysavy Hi! (1) is odd, we'll take a look on our servers and see if we can replicate it, that shouldn't happen at all. When the 'Save' button is clicked, the highlights should appear on the page as well as in your Notion (2) Yes! We're working on that right now :)
Appreciate the question 😃 Your DMs are closed on Twitter but would love to get in touch -- your perspective would be invaluable as we create mockups for new features 🙏
Thank you Michael for hunting us and hello PH community!
Context switching sucks. There's so much interesting information out there that I want to collect & commit to memory, but opening my knowledge store every time and manually writing out relevant content takes time and is annoying. Ali and I built Trove to solve this problem--saving highlights on any page is now just a click away~
Let us know what you think!
Congrats! Really cool product. Love the fine grained nature of being able to capture just a snippet instead of the whole site. Also, really like being able to annotate/comment on items.
Here is a really quick product review I put together: https://racket.com/p/ph-product-...

@phil_wittig thank you so much!!!! This feedback is much appreciated and love the review. What you mentioned -- not wanting to clip the entire page everytime -- is exactly what I was going for!
I've been using trove for a few weeks now, and I've noticed drastically less open chrome windows. Highly recommend. Love the product and the team 🙌 @ali_wetrill and @akshath_sivaprasad can't wait to see what's coming soon!
Really excited about this! As an avid user of various note-keeping methods + tools (roam/notion/evernote/etc) context switching is such a pain... Excited to see where Trove is going! The progress from a user perspective is hella fast! Hoping some day I can have a tool where I just browse the web, take notes, and naturally I form connections with previous notes I've taken without having to become a librarian.
