Reviewers mostly see Fabric as a strong personal knowledge hub for saving articles, images, files, screenshots, and videos, with repeated praise for its smooth UI, browser extension, search, and AI-driven organization, tagging, and recall. Several say it became their default place for reference material because it is easy to capture and retrieve later. The main friction is around maturity: some users hit sign-up or desktop bugs, want better tutorials, stronger integrations, richer note editing, export or local storage, mobile improvements, and clearer security and privacy answers.

I'm so happy to have found this app. I canceled my 'mymind' subscription and am ready to join Fabric and its team on their journey to success. I really believe that they have the right idea -- the features out of the gate are so intuitive in my Chrome browser that I have no doubt they will find their way to creating a true second mind that mimics the way our brains work. I plan to continue testing the iOS app and patiently await the big update allowing us to integrate cloud drives, bookmarks, and more!

I've tried other apps like notion and obsidian before but have never been able to stick with any. One of the problems was that I kept forgetting my own organisations and then when I needed a resource, wasn't able to find it. Same happened if I wanted to know what all I have about a particular topic. Fabric saves me from that and add to it the awesome UI/UX, I can still organise my brain but search my heart 😁 If this gets a text editor for notes like notion or obsidian or even just Markdown, it'll be perfect 😚

At first, I didn't think I needed such a product since I considered myself to be super organized. However, after going through my vast folders filled with random screenshots and documents, I realized that Fabric could be just what I needed. The browser extension is a game-changer, as it works smoothly for me. Competing products failed in this instance. I appreciate the ease of use and the ability to save text from websites quickly. However, I did run into a limitation with the text limit of 2,500 characters when saving from a website. For instance, when trying to record all the text from an online course, I had to split it into multiple sections, which was a bit inconvenient. Overall, I think Fabric is an excellent product that can benefit many people, including myself. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing future updates and improvements.

Really impressive @johnny_makes ... I've been searching for something like this forever and have signed up for literally every bookmarking, notes, read-it-later flavoured launches for at least a year and feel like you guys are already ahead! a) does the fabric search engine also pin results alongside Google search results when initiating a search from Google? In my mind this was an outstanding feature from Evernote. As a user I tend to forget about sources that I'd uncovered and annotated previously. b) where is the storage located? I've seen a few url flashes for an EU-West server location ... or is that just the location of your credentials service/provider?

Congrats on launching this tool! The way we organize and annotate documents, objects, and collections on and off the web is long overdue for a significant redesign. Dropbox and Google Drive are simply replicas of the MacOS Finder or Windows Explorer, which can result in a cluttered mess. Tools like Notion or ClickUp are excellent for organizing thoughts, but they don't prioritize the capturing, clipping, and sharing process, which is essential for my curation process and likely yours as well. The Beam Browser demonstrated an elegant solution for clipping or inspecting blocks of content from the web, so I'm pleased to see that Fabric’s browser extension incorporates this pattern. Fabric’s organisation features like the semantic search and deep linking back to a source fragment are impressive. Similar tools like Hypthes.is, Pocket, Memex Garden, and Additor have been available for some time, so it will be interesting to see how the AI capabilities and sleek UX of Fabric will set it apart. One tiny piece of feedback: - In the onboarding flow: set the link to install the browser extension to open a new tab

Fabric is growing from strength to strength! At first, I supported Fabric out of "gee-whiz" curiosity, but now it's so capable that it's become the default storage place for all of my reference material -- articles, images, and files. Being able to dialogue with that trove of collected inspiration and wisdom is valuable beyond measure.

Fabric is a very fluid experience. I cannot wait for it to blossom into a contender for the #1 second brain. The idea of a universal home is welcomed in this age of cyber clutter. I for one am a digital hoarder of note. (For the Hoarde! if you get it then we lolled together and if you didn't then read on) I want, nay, need a warehouse with an inventory system that rivals Shamazon's in order to organise my messy mind. Fabric could be that. It really could. With a little polishing, some minor tweaking under the hood and a long, hard look at their security and privacy black hole, Fabric is destined for big things. I have taken it upon my inner Karen to send a formal review to the Fabric team with my honest feedback. I hope they gain something from it. Onwards and upwards! EDIT: There wasn't an article on Medium so I took it upon myself to rectify that. Have a read if you feel for it: https://medium.com/@dankdarkhors...

I'm enjoying my experience with Fabric. However, here are a few suggestions that could enhance the user experience: 1. Text editor for notes. 2. Tasks feature 3. Android and iOS Apps 4. Adding more customization options for the user interface would be a nice touch.

It's really nice to use. I just would hope for a dark mode soon. If there isn't one, I'm missing it and I feel silly. Either way, even without, it's a great tool. It's a nice utility to have your things organized in. Very easy, very well-designed.

Hey Totes – we love hearing that :) Dark mode is definitely on the roadmap, and lots of big product improvements also coming soon!

The ideas is great. But to have someone test and try a new app like this, integrations need to be at the center of the MVP from day one. Otherwise its too hard. Just another thing to try, but too hard. Get the Notion integration done, and I'm in..

Hey Angus – we're working on a Notion integration, but we're a tiny, early stage company. There's no way we could integrate every tool that every person could want on day one... but we're working hard on it.
