Coming to your inbox today with something we’re obsessed with.

 

What’s it called when you build something you think is super cool but you’re scared/excited/nervous to see if others will find it as cool?

 

Anyways…

 

Starting today, every time you add a card to your library or stumble upon someone else’s, you’ll be able to see related highlights, links, books, and more from across the Sublime network. It feels delightful – put in a few ideas or insights, discover many more ✨

Here's a video on how it works – but the TL;DR is: just use the "Related" filter in the sidebar on any collection or card's landing page to see related ideas.

One of our core beliefs is that creativity is all about connecting things. Most knowledge tools contain only the information you put in. We want Sublime to be not just a repository of information, but an instrument for combinatorial creativity and on-demand serendipity. 

Here’s how we’re excited to use related cards:

 

It’s already been game-changing for me when writing a newsletter or putting together a presentation. I’ll type a thought or highlight something on the web, add it to my library privately or openly, then see related ideas from my library and others’. It’s a great way to reliably increase the depth and quality of insights.

 

Or if I have an idea for an essay I want to write, I’ll create a collection describing the main idea I’m exploring and instantly surface lots of related insights from my library and others. Fills me with inspiration and solves the cold start problem.

 

Sometimes, I struggle with nurturing collections. Related cards relieve some of this pressure. I can just add things to my library and discover related ideas when I need to, all without the constant need to manually organize them into collections.

Also this week: we introduced text and object recognition for images, which means you can easily find images using keywords.

We're taking the next two weeks to focus on UX tuning, bug fixes, quality of life improvements throughout, and lots more.

 

We want to hear from you. How does Sublime make you feel? How has Sublime been helpful to you? What can we do to make Sublime more useful for you? Did you discover something special using the Sublime related engine?

 

Let us know. We love hearing from you.
