Really beautiful product with a lot of features. One of the best Evernote alternative I have seen.
Jiwon Jang
@hoandesign Thanks for hunting Additor. Why don't you confirm my request for adding makers?
Jiwon Jang
@hoandesign It's okay. Thank you again for hunting us. Let's keep in touch with :)
Jiwon Jang
Hello, hunters! Thanks @hoandesign for hunting Additor! I'm Jiwon Jang, CEO & co-founder of Additor. It feels amazing to be here since it's been a week from our beta launch. We think that organizing and utilizing information is much more important than just aggregating it. However, existing tools couldn't offer appropriate means or UX. Additor is like a baby of Pocket and Evernote, which is visualized and intuitive. Not that light, and not that heavy. We're at the very early stage. Please join Additor and let us know if you have any questions or feedbacks. Thank you. jiwon.jang@additor.io

@jiwon_nique_jang @hoandesign I was hoping the website would have more information regarding pricing/future plans, and whether or not there is collaboration possible with the app. Maybe a FAQ?
Tom Bielecki
@jiwon_nique_jang @hoandesign The site mentions teams, but you've compared it to two personal tools, so I'm confused with how it is intended to be used and how many people you can share with
Jiwon Jang
@tombielecki Thank you for great feedbacks! We're going to add the information to our website. We'll let you know after we update these details. Also, your opinion on the terms I used is keen. The reason I mentioned two tools was to emphasize the pattern or use-case. Additor can combine two features of them with seamless UX. The number of collaborators is not restricted yet. Please ask me anything you want to know. :)

@jiwon_nique_jang @hoandesign @additor I wish I could import all my Pocket's saves into it at once.
Jiwon Jang
@damiencasoni Hello, Damien. Additor is considering the option. After we update this, I'll let you know.

Price tag hunt: Failed. I cannot understand why a lot of startups don´t publish price or business model.
Jiwon Jang
@tafkaf Thanks for your feedback. We also think pricing model or business model is one of the most important for startups. However, we got hunted unexpectedly😓, and it's been only a week since we decided to 'test' our beta. Why don't you give me more your opinion on this subject? If possible, please contact me ' jiwon.jang@additor.io'.
Florian Egermann
@jiwon_nique_jang @additor Hey, thanks for the clarification, and congratulations to the hunt :) It´s not about you or your product. I am just tired of "hunting" for the price tag in general.

This is really a great tool for creators, story-tellers, and writers. You can expect a lot of amazing features with seamless user experience.
Jiwon Jang
@sungpil_nam Thanks. Add it with 'features with seamless user experience'.
Raphaël Chabaud
Interesting, I understand it as a kind of team wiki. Am I right ?
Jiwon Jang
@raphchabaud Thank you. If you use it as a team, you are right. We pursue the lighter collaboration than Google Docs.
Jiwon Jang
@junwoo @raphchabaud Thanks, Jun. Actually, some users are already using Additor as a team wiki or a knowledge library.
Emily Campbell
I see so many use cases for this. All of the "man I wish could..."s bundled into one. Really excited to use this for planning my writing and for product documentation to see how well it holds up under heavy use
Jiwon Jang
@elou Hello, Emily. Thank you for your comment. You just caught possible use cases of Additor. I'm so happy to hear that you are excited to use ours. Please try what you wanna do and give me more feedbacks.
Robin Good
Interesting tool. I like a) its simplicity b) focus on adding a commentary / perspective to what is collected c) an integrated structure that can be expanded at will by the curator Good job. P.S.: 1) It is not obvious to the novice user that you need to use the link available under the share icon to provide access to the page you have created. One would intuitively just grab and pass on the URL of the page he has just created. 2) It would truly lovely if the URL of published pages were a bit more intelligible (as the original URL is), as to showcase the name of the author and the actual topic instead of a bunch of garbled letters.
Jiwon Jang
@robingood Thank you very much. You just got the point very well. We already confirmed the wrong pattern to copy the URL of the page. We're gonna change the UX of this feature. I didn't perfectly understand the last part. Would you give me more details about this?
Robin Good
@jiwon_nique_jang Thank you indeed. Let me clarify the second point: When I create a curated page with Additor I have a working/editing URL like this: https://additor.io/@contentcurat... This URL is quite intelligible as it contains the project name and title of the content. It's only missing the author. The problem is that I cannot share this URL. That is: I can, but if I do, who uses it will not be able to access my page unless logged in. So I go to the top of the page and click on the "Share" icon to get a publicly shareable URL, and I get this: https://additor.io/share/y/tvFaQ... Now the URL is mot intelligible anymore. It has lost topic and title reference in favour of shortened set of illegible characters. I think it would be of high value if such informational elements where preserved in the final URL - as Medium does for example - and optionally to allow the author to customize it (like on Bitly). ***I have also created a living example of a curated page (about curation tools / my focus) right here: https://additor.io/share/y/tvFaQ... I hope it can be used as a useful example.
Jiwon Jang
@robingood Thank you so much. What a great feedback! We'll consider this seriously and email you to ask you some more questions. 👊

Very cool and extremely timely as we've been looking for something like this. I realize it's in beta but the Chrome extension seems really buggy. I collected several articles into specific projects, only to find them missing when I went into Additor. I've only been using it for a day, so maybe it's just a hiccup?
Jiwon Jang
@scottwwilliams Thanks for your feedback! So sorry for some errors. Can you explain what your situation was more specifically? Then, it would help us to fix them. Of course, it's just a hiccup !! 🤧 🤧
Scott Williams
@jiwon_nique_jang It's working now. Noticed that the site was down for a while the other day and that coincided w/ when I was using the Chrome extension, so believe that was the problem. A couple of questions & thoughts: 1) Can you share projects or make them public (like with posts)? 2) It would be nice to be able to customize project & post header images - is that on the radar? 3) When sharing a project, it would be great if I could add a note, 4) We share a lot of links in my office and it would be really useful if there was the ability to share a link when capturing it w/ the Chrome extension.
Jiwon Jang
@scottwwilliams Thanks for feedbacks! 1) Of course, you can. In your post page, please click the 'Share' button. Then, you can get the URL to share your content publicly. Also, you can invite collaborators to your project to make something together. 2) It is also possible. In your post page, please click the 'Post Setting' button. When you click the 'Header Image', you can change your image. We're working on the feature that users can upload their own images. 3) Great idea. It's added to our to-do-list. 4) Now, you can paste or enter a link in your post page w/ Chrome extension. You see the black '+' button in a section. By clicking 'Add URL' button, you can do this. It seems that our onboarding is poor. Your feedback really helped us to enhance our product. Thank you again. 🙌
Scott Williams
@jiwon_nique_jang Another question/recommendation...I'm really digging additor but one thing that would be incredibly useful is the ability to upload files. I'm a heavy Evernote user and one of the things I like best is that I can upload and attach files, but Evernote misses on a couple of things that you appear to do really well. For example, I'm in the middle of planning our family's summer vacation to Europe, so I've got tons of info to organize. I'm a tagger, so it's easy for me to find the info in Evernote, but not a good way to display it in its entirety if that makes sense. In Additor, I've created the trip as a project and have added it as a post. I've created sections for itinerary, each city (hotel, things to do, etc.) and more. Visually and functionally, Additor is great for this. The only catch is that I'd love to be able to upload files (e.g. our itinerary, which is in PDF format). I could scrape the data and add it as a note, but it would take a little time (not to mention the time required to format the data). TLDR, I know. I'd rather correspond w/ you via Slack, email or other preferred method Instead of cluttering up your "Hunt." Let me know if that's possible, and if so, method to reach you.
Jiwon Jang
@scottwwilliams Hello, Scott. I was so touched by your awesome feedback. 😵 Uploading files including docs, images, and PDFs is on the backlog list. Our team always tries so hard to offer the best UX for any feature that we need some time, not that much, to work on this. Actually, I'm planning many ways to directly communicate with our early users like you. Please, stay tuned for this. For now, you can contact me via my personal email. jiwon.jang@additor.io Cheers,
Andrew Viktorov
I found it few days ago and it's so cool. Now I'm usuing it almost avery day ;)
Jiwon Jang
@andrew_viktorov Wow. You are one of our early users. Thank you so much. After we update the very next version, you will use Additor every day, not almost. :)

Is this an add-on to Notion? https://www.notion.so/
Jiwon Jang
@watweet Thanks for your question. Additor is an independent tool more focusing on organizing research and publish contents. I think Notion is a full-featured docs app within a team. We're gonna test many use cases. Please give me more feedbacks.
Ankit Singh
Just downloaded, Super clean and well executed. I particularly love the 'ADD A PROJECT' feature and your one line description #baby 😁 Also, any plans to let people sync their projects to Drive? btw, Great Work Additor team.
Jiwon Jang
@_ankitsingh Thank you. Many our extension users also like those features too. How do you want to integrate Additor with Drive?
Ankit Singh
@jiwon_nique_jang after syncing it with drive we can keep backup or track of our every project that we made on Additor. Is it clear to you or should I explain you more?
Jiwon Jang
@_ankitsingh Thank you so much, Ankit. There are lots of options to integrate with Additor, and Google Drive is one of them. We'll consider this, and let you know how it is going.

This is huge! Recently I was going crazy managing notes, folders and links with Pocket/Evernote/Notes with no collaborative projects and folders (big fail for them). Really great product, cheers! 🍻 I'd love a Safari extension. *btw: this is my very first comment :)
Jiwon Jang
@raulmono Thank you, Raul. We are here to stop you going crazy. It's my honor to be the chosen one.😸 We are considering Safari extension, too. Cheers!
Nicolaos Moubayed
@jiwon_nique_jang @raulmono Love the tool, but i use safari too. Can't switch browsers because of the continuity features that safari offers. Please consider safari for Additor :) thanks
Jiwon Jang
@nicolaos_moubayed @raulmono Hello, Nicolaos. We're planning to make our extension app available on Safari and Firefox. Please wait for our expansion. Thanks.
Hansol Ryan Jang
Have a big chance to share the valuable information with team. It's the best choice to organize the structure of information. Don't hesitate to try it!!
Jiwon Jang
@hansol_ryan_jang Thank you. We're planning some features for better organizing. We'll let you know when we update.
Igor Ozherelyev
Perfect stuff! Cool tagline! 🤓👍
Jiwon Jang
@oiv Wow! Thanks a lot. Please try Additor and give me more feedbacks. 😃
Alexander Spoor
Cool, but... how is this not just exactly the same thing as Notion? http://www.notion.so
Jiwon Jang
@john_mitchell @alexanderspoor Hello, hunters! Actually, we updated many things but our landing page. It's quite different now.😅 We think that Notion is a full-featured docs app within a team. Additor is to organize online research and make it a content to share. Since Additor is just a baby, please stay tuned and see how we grow up. Thank you. 🙌
Alex Dyamond
I've been checking Product Hunt daily for almost a year and I have never felt the need to congratulate before. Any chance there's an offline version in the works? This took less than 10 minutes to usurp Pocket in my workflow.
Jiwon Jang
@alex_dyamond Hello, Alex. What a compliment! Thanks. The offline version is one of our backlogs. Please, stay tuned! I'm so happy to meet the right one who can take advantage of Additor. 🙃
Umit Akcan
Good to see products from Korea :) Good luck
Jiwon Jang
@umitakcn Ohhhh! Good to see you. Thank you, Umit ! :)
João Santos
This looks great! I have been using Candy so far https://www.producthunt.com/post... but they decided to do a rebranding (they are now Lumio) and changed the whole user interface change and kind it pivoted completely from what I was looking for. Additor seems that will cover the visual bookmark and organization needs.
Jiwon Jang
@thejoaosantos Hello, João Santos. Please try Additor, and give us your thoughts on it. You are the one who has been already used some tools. It would really help us to evolve into another level. Thank you so much.
Gabrielle Do

I've enjoyed every aspect of this product, even at its early stages. I've used this to create quick layouts of my blog posts and will use Additor for my studies. I'll keep thinking of the pros and cons. (Phoenixfirelotus / ElegantAdventure)

Pros:

Simple, fast, organized

Cons:

None so far

Matthew Brennan
One of the best looking Evernote alternatives out at the minute. Bravo.
Jiwon Jang
@mbrennanni Thanks, Matthew. I don't know if we could replace just the place. For now, we just want to be Additor itself. Please, give me as many as feedbacks possible. Bravo.
