Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • “I always remember what I was doing when I saved it, just not where.”
  • “I tried the indexer of my computer OS, it helped, but then again, I had files of things I didn't planned to be related”
  • “the fact that we all end up falling back on search and sorting by date kind of proves the point.”
