@eamonncarey Thanks for "hunting" this -- excited to see how people will use this :)
We've learned a lot of the last few months, but some of the biggest things we found are:
1. When people discover how Mindstone allows you to *highlight* on any piece of online content, they start to understand how the app can really help them in the long run.
2. It took us a while to get to our clear value proposition: helping people learn faster & remembering more of what they read. It seems that's the part that resonates, which is why we prioritised the "remember" feature, automatically applying spaced repetition (and optimising your retention) to things you want to remember.
The space for improving the transfer of learning is ripe, glad to see movement. Personally my use case is 100% about academic PDFs. Congrats @joshua_wohle
Excited to finally be sharing this with the world!

I love the intentional approach Mindstone brings to curating documents. Something that I always felt was missing from products like Pocket and Evernote. Why did I save this? What's important/interesting about it? What does it relate to that I'm working on? It's a product that will get more and more useful over time.
@chrispointon I've personally been a long-term user of both of the products you mention indeed and some of what we're building comes out of the same frustration :)
I've been using Mindstone for a couple of months and it really made a difference on how I organise and share my thoughts. It's an outstanding product with a UX that is truly focused on the learner. Honestly, I hadn't found a B2C educational product in the market like this until I tried Mindstone. Looking forward to seeing what's coming up!
I've gotten to know Josh over the past few months and am incredibly excited to see what he and the team are building at Mindstone. A great product that I can't wait to use myself!
@benjpollak Thanks for the support Ben -- don't hesitate to use it for sure -- free to sign up for now :)
This is the bees knees! Super happy to have invested in Joshua and Mindstone. This will revolutionise learning and help us all learn faster and remember more - definitely something I need!
OMG this looks so well put-together! Is there any video tutorial/intro for us to check out?
@alexandra_m_co_e absolutely. There are a few things you can do to get introduced
- an onboarding process you can go through by simply signing-up (which walks you through the platform capabilities).
- once you're signed-up there are a few videos in the help menu (bottom left of your screen) that showcase the features 1-1
- It's not the best, but you can have a look at this quick overview video as well if you don't have time for the 2 above methods: https://drive.google.com/file/d/...
gosh. i am an entrepreneur.i dont know why i need this.lol but trying it out now. thanks
Love Mindstone. No other product does that same thing. A brilliant way to keep and organise my learning notes.
@anna_0x Hey Anna, do you get this error when signing up from the home page? or from somewhere else?
@anna_0x You should be able to fix the problem by going to https://app.mindstone.com directly and singing in from there. Apologies for the inconvenience :(
@arjunpar Hey Arjun, that's not good! Did you sign-up through the website? Did you go through our onboarding or did the 500 arrive right after you entered your email?
As a workaround, can you try logging-in at app.mindstone.com?
@arjunpar that's very weird indeed. You should be able to get around it by going to app.mindstone.com and login from there?
well put together and looks useful for both academia and on the job training processes. cool!
It's been a useful app for a while now in terms of annotating and sharing information.
Just as impressive is the speed it improves at. Amazing team!
I'm so excited about this guys. Very very interesting product. Thank you for sharing
I share a lot of articles and content with portfolio companies and others. This allows me to create specific libraries, annotate the text, add highlights and more. What's really interesting is how it then takes those highlights and annotations and helps people to remember the critical parts of the article. I'm sure many folks reading this have read something, thought it was incredibly interesting and valuable and resolved to come back to it again - before forgetting about it entirely. With Mindstone, I can remind myself, and their algorithms can remind me of what I've been reading and what's the part I should remember - and I can share exactly the same thing with friends, colleagues, portfolio founders, students and others.
