Show HN: Sortado – Organize your Google docs, from within a doc (opens in new tab)

I’ve been frustrated time and time again with Google Drive’s clunky UI and search ability to find relevant docs and files, especially when projects have taken on different names.

Sortado is a chrome extension that adds a sidebar to your Google doc to make it faster to organize and find files. We’ve been using it at our company, and I wanted to take the product and make it available to others. I took notes from Notion’s sidebar, but I honestly just prefer the UI and accessibility of Google Docs, so wanted to customize it to make a better experience :)

Good initiative! I use Google Drive many times a day and share your frustrations.

At some point I was frustrated enough to research some of the promising "workarounds" for their primitive and clunky document browsing/search UI, and typed them up as comments in this LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alexdergachev_ux-search-googl...

I see on your screen you have a YNAW folder, so I guess you use/used You Need a Wiki, which solves the same problem, but for teams.

Do you still use both (for different purposes), or is there some way in which Sortado is better for your use case?
