Show HN: Sidekick – the fastest browser built for work
producthunt.comHello Hacker News community. Sidekick maker is here :). Feel free to ask any question, and support us on Product Hunt if you like the product and believe in our mission. Thank you, it would mean a world to me an our entire team.
Hi. Since the very early days I have been telling many of my friends that browser for teams is a brilliant idea. Happy you’re keep doing. Best wishes. I’ll be advocating for it in the teams I’m involved to.
Just saw that on Product Hunt, came to see the comments on HN, and quite surprisingly they seem very generic and those one would found in fake reviews and/or voting rings.
Was happy to hunt Sidekick on behalf of Dmitry Pushkarev. Love seeing browser innovation (built on Chromium), and the aspects Sidekick emphasizes make sense:
* Smarter approach to working with web-apps * Built-in tab/memory management * Cross-app unified search * Support for multi-auth * Privacy enhancements * Workspace organizer tools
I've downloaded Sidekick and now testing it for work. Seems convenient for a digital marketer like me who spends hours switching between a bunch of Google Docs tabs, emails and messengers. Really enjoying, thank you!
I had been using Google Chrome for ages and permanently tried various extensions and other browser projects.
Only Sidekick managed to become a new default browser for me due to its incredible speed and UX.
Amazing project, I've been tracking your progress since March :) Product of the day is a great milestone. Good luck with fast growth, your product deserves it :)
Such a great idea! Great quality of service that everyone actually need for efficient workflow. Highly recommend to check and test it.
Like the idea of the Spotlight across all the services. Does it index any data for the quick search?
It indexes history, and documents for most commonly used services (like Google docs, Messenger or Notion) - but it's all done locally, personal data is never sent to the backend.
For those who works with data
>Sidekick never sells access to your data.
No, thanks. I don't want to share with you.
Question: Any details on the AI memory manager mentioned in the video ?
Basically it learns (locally, no data is sent to the cloud) how you use tabs, and tries to predict whether you will need a given tab in the nearest future. If you don't - it would unload this tab (with a few exceptions) from memory so that it won't be lost from your tabstrip, but won't consume memory and CPU resources. Think of the Great Suspender on steroids that constantly gets better over time.
Nice! Sharing access is a good idea
Really fast and easy to use.
cool. I just have installed Sidekick, and started testing. Looks promising
Terrific, feel free to ask questions here.
Really cool!
