About ShareTXT

ShareTXT is a collection of free open-source tools created to boost the productivity of content creators, digital marketers, SEO experts, and small site owners.

Productivity tools are essential to build a business and succeeding online. Most of these tools are owned by massive corporations and usually require you to pay a recurring monthly or yearly fee to access these tools...until today.

At ShareTXT we are taking on the big corporations and going against the norm because we believe that everyone should be allowed to succeed.

Not everyone has the funds to invest in a thousand-dollar application which places small site owners at a disadvantage. You can't expect a human being to survive without water. Neither can you expect small businesses with little to no revenue to be able to afford the monthly or yearly subscription that the big corporations demand before you are granted access to the full features of their application.

We don't agree with them. That is why our mission is to improve the quality of content online by giving content creators the exclusive tools that they need to succeed online for free. No strings attached.

Hi friends, what began as an app to enable me to share text between my multiple devices, has evolved into a collection of tools created to help you boost your productivity and see success online sooner.

ShareTXT started very much as a side project. I was working on something else at the time and I couldn't quite place my hands on it but I felt that there was something off about my workflow.

Working online, I had a physical notepad that I kept beside me. I used the notepad to copy content from one computer to the other. It seemed like the natural way to do things at the time.

One day I was commuting to work and reading morning brew on my mobile phone. Everything was fine. I got to my office early because the traffic wasn't as bad as on other days. I noticed that a lot of my team members haven't yet shown up to work, so I settled into my office.

I wanted to visit the link to the article I had opened on my phone in my system so that I could view it on a wider screen.

The link was quite long so I started typing it into my system's browser. I miss some characters and made some mistakes before I was finally able to type them incorrectly. It was a very slow and painstaking process.

Before I could finish reading the article, it was time for the morning meeting. So I did a mental calculation in my head as to how much time I spent copying text between my devices and it summed up to something like 45 minutes per day! Almost close to an hour!

In a week that number goes up to about 3.75 hours, approximately 4 hours copying content from one place to another.

This was a big time-wasting activity, so I set out to remedy this issue. Before I set out to create the first version of ShareTXT, the first philosophy was to create an app that was so easy to use that even my grandmother would not complain, the second philosophy was to make it cross-platform so that it will work on any device or browser, the third philosophy was for it to be secure and the last was for it to be reliable.

After a couple of weeks, the first version of the application was completed, I reached out to a couple of folks on Twitter and asked them to review it and tell me what they thought needed to be improved. I got a lot of helpful feedback and integrated it into the application. You can see the full list of contributors below.

With the application was ready, I uploaded it to GitHub on a public repo so everyone can have access to the code, make improvements or integrate it into their applications for free. Check out the GitHub repo here.

The application was released and officially launched on Product Hunt on the 21st of January 2021. We had a very successful launch and secured the third-best product of the day, with over a hundred votes, thanks to you guys.
