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.<p>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.<p>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:

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