About

Hi there! My name is Paul and I'm excited to share with you about my passion project called Recall. I am working on Recall full-time and putting all my efforts into creating something that will change the way we consume information. Recall is a personal encyclopedia that allows you to capture and organize all of the interesting information you come across every day. Whether it's an interesting article or a fascinating podcast episode, Recall makes it easy to store and access it later. I'm thrilled to announce that we will be launching our browser extension soon, which will make it even easier to capture information as you browse the web. If you're interested in staying up-to-date with our progress, be sure to follow me on Product Hunt.

Hello everyone!

We just released a fresh update with a mix of improvements and bug fixes. Here s what s new:

Reader and Browser Extension (Chrome extension is still pending review)

What is your favorite type of content to save into Recall?

I personally love using Recall for my movies! I had no idea that:

  1. Neo-noir and Black Comedy are my favorite genres.

  2. BlacKkKlansman is the most connected movie in my knowledge base.

  3. Tilda Swinton is a common thread in many of my favorite films!

How do followers work on product hunt? Do I need them to successfully launch a product?

Hey there! I'm gearing up for my first launch on product hunt, and am trying to do my homework. I found some great advice here about whether or not you need a lot of followers yourself to successfully launch, but it does really explain how followers work more generally and how people with big followings could benefit our launch. I've given up hope on gathering a big following myself before launching, but I do have friends, colleagues, and other folks in my network that have decent product hunt followings. I definitely plan to make them aware of our launch (and hopefully they love our product) but I'm wondering if an upvote or comment from someone with a large following is somehow more beneficial than an upvote or comment from someone with a small following (like me!). My hunch is there's got to be some benefit but I'm not seeing any alerts or anything from the people that I follow (that I'm aware of). Would love any clarity on the topic!
