Great post!
And the other reason you were smart to quit that idea is: "Easy to use note-taking application with cloud syncing and simple organization." That sounds like overkill if I've ever heard it for a simple note-taking tool. If I'm taking notes I use a text editor or paper. For task and project tracking, I use Jira.
- Void_ 16y agoThanks. I know it sounds like overkill - but it's exactly what SimpleNote dies :-) I would be very curious to know more about how successful they are.
- pchristensen 16y agoLet's hope that SimpleNote never dies :) They do something simple, but they hit it so far out of the park that it crosses town and lands in a completely different park! I think of it as Dropbox for Text. It's always where I need it.
- amackera 16y agoIt's only overkill if the user is aware of the infrastructure. If you make notes on your Mac, it auto-syncs to your iPhone, blah blah, the user is only vaguely aware that complicated computation is occurring behind the scenes. Think of email. Email pretty damn complicated behind the scenes, all to send text to other people. Why don't people just write letters to each other!? Why bother with all this error prone infrastructure? Because if it's done right, people aren't even aware of it, they just click send and get instant value.
