A tiny utility with a big goal: funding freedom & fueling curiosity for the ORGanizer community.
Over the last months you’ve seen me ship like crazy—little AI experiments, agents, and quality-of-life fixes sparked by late-night ideas and strong coffee. Today I’m sharing something different: not a Salesforce-specific feature, but a small utility designed to give value back to our 80k weekly users and help me push ORGanizer toward a future that’s free for everyone.
Why a News tab inside a productivity tool?
Because productivity and billability don’t always play nicely with “staying connected.” If you live in Salesforce all day, the tabs pile up and the “I’ll read it later” list gets longer. I wanted a lightweight way to surface what’s happening across the Salesforce ecosystem and the broader AI world—without derailing your flow.
What I built (prototype)
- A simple, non-intrusive News tab right in ORGanizer.
- Search-first UX with fast filtering; tags are coming to make discovery even easier.
- One click to read: open an article and you’ll land on a minimal ORGanizer page (where sponsors are shown) and then be redirected to the original article a few seconds later.
- Publisher-friendly featuring: special articles can be featured so great content doesn’t get lost in the noise.
This is a working and stable prototype and will roll into production in the next days. I wanted you to see it early because it’s my personal way to give something back to the community.

The bigger picture: licensing & a freer ORGanizer
I’ve been candid about licensing from day one. The goal of the News feature isn’t to squeeze another click—it’s to reduce (and hopefully remove) the impact of the licensing model by supporting ORGanizer with sponsorships instead. Every redirect is a tiny boost that helps keep development sustainable so the extension can stay generous in spirit and price.
If this model works, ORGanizer becomes easier to keep free for everyone. That’s the dream.
Also: my ongoing AI playground
This work doubles as a sandbox for me to experiment with AI coding and agents around content discovery, classification (hello, upcoming tags), and ranking. You’ll likely see more AI-powered assists pop up across ORGanizer—always with a pragmatic, why-does-this-matter-to-my-day job lens. Also with a powerful control over what you share with external agents (I won’t deliver another IAaaS server, you’ll be in charge for giving ORGanizer access to your favorite LLM provider, just like AIDA does).
Not a “war” with Salesforce Inspector Reloaded
I’ve been asked this more than once. The answer is definitely not. Inspector is an amazing, community-loved tool. ORGanizer serves a different purpose: it’s for technical and non‑technical users, focused on login experience, org identification, and a bundle of extra plugins that help you work faster. I’m not trying to clone Inspector’s roadmap—I’m trying to create value in how you use Salesforce, including keeping you informed without breaking your flow.
My colleagues use ORGanizer and Inspector togheter daily!
Privacy & comfort
The News tab doesn’t change ORGanizer’s core stance: no Salesforce org data gets shipped off just because you browse news. Your usual security posture and encryption options remain in place. This is meant to be helpful, not noisy.
Small quality-of-life fixes riding along
While I’m here, I’m also shipping a few quick fixes to smooth out some ORGanizer misbehavior when doing API calls. Little papercuts, gone.
How to try it
- Update ORGanizer to the latest version once the prototype ships (coming…)
- Open the News tab from the popup.
- Search, browse, click. Read the article on the original site after the short sponsor landing.
- Tell me what you love, what you’re missing, and what would make this truly useful in your day.
Calling publishers & creators
If you publish Salesforce or AI content and want your best pieces to shine, ping me now to get listed early, there a huge audience ready to read your content!
I built ORGanizer to make Salesforce feel more yours. This News tab is a small step toward that—an easy way to stay connected, plus a path to fund an even freer ORGanizer for the whole community.
Thanks for building and learning with me. Let’s keep shipping.
