Visual note taking has so much potential, I’m really not sure how Evernote and Pinterest cornered the market and ruined it at the same time. Same with LinkedIn,

  Lack of competition... I'm trying to revamp things on the Evernote side but in a different way. https://getpolarized.io/ https://getpolarized.io/ We're making good progress and have a GREAT hacker user base but working to take it to the masses. The next goal is to launch it on product hunt in 1-2 weeks. We're also adding sharing and improving our web and mobile apps which is super important to getting adoption. It's also Open Source and we're going to raise money soon with a 'kickstarter' style campaign to ask the community to fund continued development. I want to build a platform that respect user rights and isn't trying to lock up the users data in a proprietary platform. The reason it's called "Polar" is that it's designed to 'freeze' your knowledge in a safe place. Safe being that it's Open Source and based on web standards. I'm going to have it based on a .org style non-profit sort of like Wikimedia / Wordpress.org but also a for-profit company which has commitments to the non-profit which funds it in perpetuity.

    Less salesy and better design aesthetics would be my advice...
