Both Slapdash and Command E can search apps, but Slapdash can do other things too:

* You can also write to applications, it's not just read-only (create docs, file issues, close tasks, upload files, etc.)

* You can browse the structure of applications in Slapdash (not just search them).

* You can build sophisticated queries (show all tasks open tasks, that mention this customer, render it as a list)

* We are client-agnostic. While we love our desktop client, you can also use Slapdash just in a browser window, or as a Chrome extension (and soon mobile).

* You can control your desktop computer too (launch apps, search local files, etc.)

* You can build your own custom commands and share them with others (this turns out to be quite fun)

That's really cool!

What's the process around adding new apps? Would one be able to integrate easily?

I built Quest https://github.com/hverlin/Quest during the lockdown to search content across several apps (Gmail, Jira, Confluence...) as I could not find one that would allow me to do this.

Quest looks cool. I just downloaded and started playing with it - well done.

Today, we write the integrations ourselves.

We will eventually open up our APIs so people can build their own integrations to extend Slapdash. If you have ideas or thoughts on what would be a good dev experience, feel free to reach out.

Awesome. Thanks for breaking it down.

Thanks, this is helpful! Can you do a similar pros/cons comparison with Akiflow?
