    Great idea. I can totally relate to it. Would I use it? Unlikely.
    Are you going to get access to all my comms and files across platforms?
    You'd need to be at the level of Microsoft, Atlassian or Google for that.

    The landing page is actually good. Got the idea from the first glance.

    Confusion point:
    Is it "Organize Your Cloud Files" or "Find Any File Across Apps"?
    Note, I dropped "easily". Seems redundant.

    "Find" appeals to me more. I don't want some app to mess around with organizing them. Maybe later.

    I'd consider it if it was an open source browser plugin with none of my data sent to a 3rd party. The level of trust goes up by a notch for that kind of tools. You may bolt on some kind of indexing done in the cloud to monetize it. Example: https://invoice-generator.com

    What happened to the GitHub paywall idea? :)

    Hey, if the above was of value, I'd love your feedback on https://www.indiehackers.com/product/open-directory-of-software-developers

      Hi mate,

      Thank you for checking it out. I'm going through product ideas testing right now. Since the last idea came to a stall after working on it for months, I'm trying to find something that many people want. I did not get enough people showing interest in the paywall idea? Maybe is my approach and how I share it. I had shared in few groups in Reddit and private communities on Slack.

      I've some challenges right now in deciding on exactly what I can work on. I hope I get to settle on one soon. In the meantime, please let me know:

      1. Was the Paywall idea appealing?
      2. Is it something that you will use?
      3. How often have you tried to monetize your code directly from Github or any other content management platform?

      I look forward to hearing from you.

      Thanks.

        1,2,3 - No :) Most FOSS is not created to make money. The motivation is completely different there. Even having donations is sometimes counterproductive.
