But YNAB is also a great example of apps-getting-worse — you're explicitly praising the 2012 version over the 2015/evergreen version.
(In YNAB's case, they had business reasons to make the app worse (or thought they did), but I bet that's true of many of the examples in TFA)
- trinovantes 5y agoI can't really blame them for their new webapp. They've built a great product that doesn't really need any further maintenance. It'd be pretty weird after they finish YNAB4 to just say, "Ok we're done, let's disband the company".
