This app has such great potential and has been one of the few apps that have actually excited me. However, before you can fully get comfortable using the app - they restrict so much in an effort to get you to pay a $75 subscription fee. I tried to make a collection private, and it said I had to subscribe in order to do so! $75 to make my collection private?! I can’t pay that if I am not even sure I like let alone know how to use the app. I understand businesses need to make their money, but this comes off a bit unethical. Really such a bummer because it seems like such an amazing app and concept. I’m rooting for this app, but they seriously need to rethink their subscription model. I truly hope they read this feedback and pivot accordingly.
Sublime is different. And I love it. Sublime is Intentional, calm, exciting. Like many of us who have tried all the tools, Sublime strikes this amazing balance of helping you organize, save, discover, and re-engage with our online selves. The app and team does an amazing job balancing content curation with a dose of community, in a beautiful way. Love what the team has built already and cant' wait to see what they have in store.
I’ve tried sooooo many different tools for saving the stuff I find around the internet (highlights, articles, whatever) and they’re always bulky and take forever to learn…enter Sublime, a totally different experience thats simple and easy and genuinely actually sorta fun?? I love being on there and discovering all the cool stuff other people are saving too. And since there’s no social stuff like likes or comments it feels like I can actually exist on there and not perform? Tbh at first it was sort of weird for my brain to not have likes and comments bc I was like ‘wait where is the social proof’ lol but that went away after a couple days and now I find it to be a place I can go to recharge or with a specific idea / thought / question I have — I’ll just ask the question in the search and scroll through the ideas Sublime brings up that relate to it — it’s helped me with a bunch of creative projects for both my own work and my work at an agency Ok wow this review got really long so I’ll stop now but I just wanna say thank you to the devs for making Sublime — it’s the first thing online that’s made me feel the way I did with StumbleUpon and early Tumblr days, so thank you.
Save anything that makes you go “whoa”. Links, highlights, notes, articles, books, podcasts, videos, images, PDFs. And anything else you don't want...
