That is very helpful. Now their business model makes sense.
I wonder why they don't even mention Simperium on their home page? It's not even mentioned under Help. It's a secret?
They even have a a perfect opportunity to mention it. E.g. in Simplenote Help they say:
Q: How does syncing work?
A: All notes are synced between your device
...
they automatically and wirelessly show up
in the other locations
I guess they want us to hypothesize that magical "Data Fairies" do this syncing?
- coldtea 11y ago>I guess they want us to hypothesize that magical "Data Fairies" do this syncing? No, they hypothetize that the average user wants a high level description, not to read about servers, incremental sync protocols, etc.
- PhantomGremlin 11y agoThey could have added this sentence, more or less: The secret sauce underlying this syncing is Simperium, a service for developers to move data everywhere it's needed, instantly and automatically One extra sentence would have overwhelmed the average user? Bah.
- coldtea 11y agoThat doesn't provide any more information to the average user -- which I thought was what was being asked for here. What's "Simperium"? Just a name they don't know to them.
