Not sure if it's dead, but there are sooo many of them, and they typically encapsulate someone else's idea of what leads to productivity. So, it's hard to find one that fits exactly how you'd like to work, and of the several I tried, there is always ONE big thing that keeps me from adopting it fully.
So, it's not dead, but it's a very crowded space, and discovery is a challenge. It's the classic red ocean. If you're going to build something, I'd spend the time elsewhere.
- gregmac 10y agoHm, in a way, no one really makes "one size fits all" apps, because if everyone did that, there'd be no way to stand out in a sea of hundreds of basically identical apps. So instead, these apps often follow the unix philosophy "do one thing and do it well". Unfortunately this means now there's a sea of hundreds of apps that do things in their own particular way, so as a user you also have to figure out not only which particular way you like best, but which ways you hate and can't use at all.
