   A good beginners tool to start your digital transformation.

   One of our customers said: Our small mining operation needed to go from paper based process to digital forms. At first, Google forms allowed us to use this Web-based platform that lets individuals and businesses of all sizes build customizable forms to conduct surveys and generate real-time response charts.

   We saw that a small sample of our field workers quickly adopted the new way of working.

   Step 1: accomplished.

   Now unto step 2.

   How do we deploy this unto our whole team? We needed email notifications, offline response collection when without wifi on the field. Our CIO and his director of operations needed deep data and trends analysis as well. Our inspectors, when doing their audits, needed to capture approx. 25 high definition pictures, some audio notes and a video which wasn't really possible with google forms.

   So, we can 100% credit the use of google forms to our transition towards a paperless process, but as we navigated saashub.com a little more, we were able to discover a world of alternatives. We strongly suggest to start using google forms before undergoing a big implementation plan towards such enterprise level inspection tools like nspek or even cheaper solutions like prontoforms.

   I am not sure if we would start with google's solution first if we would to do this digital transformation all over, but it did allow us to discover it's limits pretty quickly.

   At some point, we needed custom fields and functions, and none of us was able to code, so the nSpek training that comes with the application definitely sets it's self apart, giving us full autonomy.

   🏁 Competitors: nSpek, ProntoForms

   👍 Pros:    No sign up cost

   👎 Cons:    Customization|Customer support|Data protection and security|No video|No pictures

  I had the same problem back in the day, so I created https://historio.us, which is a search engine over the content of the pages. That way, you don't need to tag things, you have your own personal search engine. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?

  I got tired of not being able to find anything on the web and wrote a bookmark manager that is also a search engine: https://historio.us. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How do you save web page content

  I have been saving web page content over the years in various ways. Plain text, print as PDF's, etc etc. How do you all do it. For example - if we wanted to save this web page locally how would you do it? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=368501 It's a long nicely formatted, color web page that I would not want to save as a text file. I used to just bookmark these things, but then when I want to go... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?

  Product looks very promising! Some UI feedback: I went to check out https://historio.us/ and on my macbook air I saw the top of the green button "see our plans". Took me a couple of clicks until I realized I had to scroll down to click the real "plans and pricing" button that was off my screen. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

  There's also https://historio.us/ - it's essentially same as what OP is doing but it's as easy as bookmarking. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
