@ourielohayon thanks for the great feedback. You can search specific services using the /search command and selecting the service you want to search. Mobile is definitely on the way. What are some of the use-cases that would be most useful on mobile for you?
@oprostrednik @ourielohayon CloudMagic had the right solution and then shuttered the app. Lots of good ideas to be found there.
Looks very nice so far. If you're taking requests, Wunderlist and Basecamp integration would be great.
@mikeorren definitely taking requests - Wunderlist & Basecamp show up quite often :) We'll be adding them soon. The next integration we are releasing is Google Calendar which will let you see browse your calendar and add events.
Cloudo puts the vast amount of information you have in cloud productivity tools at your fingertips.
I love how close this is to the vision of Apple's Sherlock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh...) which allowed you to search through various data sources while Apple's Spotlight (Sherlock's successor) seems to be primarily concerned with local files and Apple's 1st party apps like calendar etc which is a shame.
This is great! Definitely solving a problem for me. Any chance of adding Skype to the mix for file attachments?
@dylanfeltus Glad you like it! Skype is definitely in the pipeline. We push new integrations on a rolling basis.
Is this solving a problem for companies that connect all their cloud apps to Google Drive or Dropbox?
@stinhambo great question! We let you search across your Google Drive or Dropbox. So you can find all your files in one place. But we also search things that don't end up in your Dropbox - like Slack attachments or Evernote notes. The problem we are trying to solve is context switching and having to remember where you stored stuff.
Great idea! For me, personally, (1) adding Zendesk as a connected service and (2) an iPhone app are the most important additions.
@chrija glad you are enjoying Cloudo. An iPhone app is in the works. Zendesk and the helpdesk vertical in general makes a lot of sense. You'll definitely see us adding this in the near future.
This is great. I would love if it could act as a simple command line and if it could have "magic words" like SlickRun does, but this is actually more useful to me. Great start.
I did notice that the ctrl + shift + x shortcut won't work on the Windows Chrome version if Chrome is not in focus, as is the case with dual monitors. Makes sense but you might want to mention that Chrome has to be in focus.
@kmullett I like the concept of "Magic Words" :) We are definitely thinking about ways you could customize Cloudo and add your own predefined commands. Another thing that's on our road map is an IFTTT integration that would let you launch recipes straight from Cloudo.
Thanks for pointing out the Chrome situation. You are right, it only works when Chrome is focused and we should make that more obvious. Thanks!
Thomas, thank you for hunting us! Excited to be here!
We built Cloudo because we wanted a quick way to access the stuff we work with everyday and realized that most of it actually lives in the cloud and not on our hard drives. You can search all your apps from one place and we use simple /commands to let you do repetitive things like adding a task to Trello or creating a new Google Hangout.
We are looking forward to your questions and will be here to do an AMA :)
@oprostrednik how do you guys sync everything together? is the cached data secure enough?
@arturkiulian thanks for this question. Security is very important to us. We only index metadata of your files and never store the actual files. The connection to our server is encrypted with the industry standard SSL protocol.
@musho good question! Search is obvious, but our ultimate goal is to be a hub for your cloud apps. Letting you do things and see things in context. This is why we have commands. For instance we let you see your tasks and events for the day in one place with /today. Or items you have interacted with recently with /recent and create new tasks, notes etc with /new. You can check all our commands here https://www.cloudo.co/tour/
@ricburton https://www.cloudo.co/account/do... and https://chrome.google.com/websto...
The links are in the footer. Yes, not too obvious :)
@liamgooding xen.do is a great tool for search - our goal is to provide search but also let you take actions in your apps with /commands. In that sense we are more of a productivity tool, than a search tool.
@mahantesh19_ definitely, send me a private message on twitter and will get rolling. Really like the idea behind Todoed!
