● textshelf For Submission review

A simple, secure inbox for the files that arrive in waves.

For RFPs, job applications, student assignments, vendor proposals, and anything else where files come in from many people and need to land in one organized place.

One link · structured uploads · reviewer assignment

Collecting files from many people by email works until you need to know who has sent theirs.

  • —

    Email attachments everywhere

    Files sit in several inboxes, and old versions turn up again.

  • —

    No central view

    There's no list of who has submitted and who hasn't.

  • —

    Manual tracking in spreadsheets

    The spreadsheet and the files live in different places and drift apart.

  • —

    Reviewing is disorganized

    There's no set way to assign reviewers or collect their feedback.
