kobble

I’m one of the devs on Kobble. Thanks for the comments. When you start the app, there is tutorial information and videos on the first screen. We do agree that the landing page could use improvement.

The data model is somewhat like YouTube, except the items are not just videos. They can be bookmarks, markdown documents, or presentations (made with markdown also). It’s all built around sharing. It’s easy to share channels with other users, for instance.

Kobble also has extensive support for iOS drag and drop. If you use the multitasking capabilities of the iPad, you can just drag links or text directly into Kobble. The Kobble tree supports drag and drop also. It’s quite efficient at organising information from the web.

Cheers.

Public and private repos are available now.

Public and private repos are now available in Kobble!

I'd just like to announce public and private repo support in Kobble. All data is now stored in a public or private repo, depending on how you log in.

I'm one of the Kobble devs. This is intentional. Please read the comments above about public and private use of Kobble. The intros on the web have been clarified also.

We are trying to clarify the multiple ways Kobble can be used. Gists are for public data that you want to share. Private repos (coming soon) are for private data. I think the intros on the web make this clearer now.

I'm one of the Kobble devs. Please read the comments above about sharing the various ways Kobble can be used. Gists are for the case where you want to share data openly. We will have support for private repos shortly for other use cases.

Please read the comments above about the various uses of Kobble. Gists are for public use and sharing. Private repos are coming very soon for other use cases.

Cheers! We're grateful for all the comments.

I'm one of the devs on Kobble. There was debate about the names - it's not easy. 'channel' seems good, it's used by Slack also, and one of our channels is similar. 'track' however, is another story. It's really a tree or folder structure.

We are honing our marketing message. Kobble is much more than just a notes app. It's also a content sharing platform. That's why some of the names were chosen. I think 'track' is causing the most confusion. It's basically a tree or folder structure.

Many shortcuts will appear next week, making it easier to get started, so please check back.

We have improved the wording, and changed 'own' to 'control'. As was stated elsewhere in these comments, we are building an open content sharing platform where users 'control' the data, not us. Since it's in your GitHub account and not on our servers, you can do whatever you want with it.

Please read the comments above about the multiple ways that Kobble can be used. Our use of gists for openly sharing content was entirely intentional.
