NOVAX/Switchboard

Private cloud feed library for creators

Local captures plus an optional private cloud archive for creators who need meaning-based search.

Local JSONL captures are great until you change machines or want semantic search across months of niche posts. Creators looking for a private cloud feed library want their Switchboard captures synced as a personal archive — not dumped into a public scrape dump by default.

With NOVAX Cloud signed in, Switchboard can sync feed captures into a private library: full post fields, embeddings for meaning-based search, and per-user sightings so your research stays yours.

Local queue, cloud archive

  • Captures still start on disk under ~/.switchboard/feed-captures/
  • Opt-in cloud sync uploads fragments and keeps a private “mine” library
  • Semantic search works against what you actually watched and saved

Turn sharing off anytime; local-only mode remains the default mental model for people who never want cloud storage.

Why creators care

  • Brief next week’s content from posts you saved last month
  • Compare competitor CTAs without re-scrolling the same feeds
  • Keep embeddings close to the drafts you generate in Hot draft / Main Brain

Crowd intelligence for broader hot themes is a separate opt-in path — your private library is for *your* captures and sightings.

How to enable

1. Sign in under Settings → Account. 2. Enable cloud feed sync / share according to your preference. 3. Keep capturing while you browse; search the library from Captures.
