I recently compiled a series of brief introduction letters for Channelkit users. The letters are packed with basic tutorials and ideas on how to keep your information organised. Sadly, these letters are only available for newly registered users, so I decided to share them on Medium. This is the first one.

At Channelkit we believe that regular structuring and labeling of things you’re interested in is what really makes you an expert.

So we made a tool that enables you to build a personal library of such things in form of neat and beautiful cards:

Every card in your library represents an item worth keeping: a book, an article, a person, a company, a place, a bare link, what not.

For example being a digital product designer I collect cool design studios and designers, tools and resources, tutorials and beautiful design objects:

I also save links and articles, make wishlists and books-to-read lists. The best thing is, I have all those in one place — in my Channelkit Dashboard — organised by channels.

I can always come back to my library for inspiration, to consult my previous research or to do a refresh on stuff I cannot remember. I can also publish some of my channels or share those “secretly” with clients or teammates.

Apart from designers, Channelkit is used by:

Letter No 2 is about ways to add cards to Channelkit. Stay tuned!
