We all encounter interesting things everyday – an article that made us wonder, a quote that stirred our soul, a shower thought we want to return to, a podcast conversation that made our brain go whoa. But without a simple way to capture and remember these fragments, we leave them behind.

Whether it’s to organize ideas for a project, to have material to turn to for inspiration, or to save idea sparks without getting distracted in the moment, having a repository for the interesting insights you come across is a beautiful way to engage more meaningfully with the world.

Sublime is about increasing the chances of delivering just-in-time epiphanies: the right ideas, exactly when you need them.

• It’s about improving your thinking and uncovering unexpected connections.
• It’s about cultivating your taste.
• It’s about empowering you to mindfully curate the Internet, not mindlessly consume it.
• It’s about collecting the things we find valuable today, so we can give our future selves a gift.
• And it’s about assembling your resonance library in a way that feels equal parts personal and communal.

We love the metaphor of "trails" to describe Sublime. A trail is something you can create for yourself – making your personal internet more alive and useful. But it's also something you leave behind for others – giving them jumping off points to research, wander, and create their own trails.

These are the foundational and evolving beliefs Sublime is built on.

• You want a simple way to curate content for specific projects or ideas you’re working on — privately, openly, or with specific collaborators.
• You find curation and world-building to be a very gratifying leisurely pursuit.
• You want serendipitous encounters with other wholesome thinkers and tinkerers on the Internet without the pressure to accumulate likes or build an audience.

Then, welcome home.

How it works

There’s a lot of magic but let’s keep it simple for now.

Every time you find something interesting, add it to Sublime – on web, browser extension, and iOS.

The building blocks of your Sublime library are cards and collections.

Cards are any unit of media; thoughts, highlights, images, links, articles, videos, podcasts,…

A collection is just what it sounds like; a collection of cards. You create collections for a specific topic, theme, concept, or project. Collections can be private or open.

That means your ideas will bump into others’ in interesting ways and you can remix others’ ideas into your own library.**
