The End of an Error for the world's most disappointing note-taking app. I think part of the struggle here is that no two people can agree on what ailed them.

The End of an Error for the world's most disappointing note-taking app.
I think part of the struggle here is that no two people can agree on what ailed them.
From lack of innovation for years, to an incomprehensibly bad rich text editor interface that broke all established conventions, to 0-60 from "zero monetization" to "monetize every time you even think about clicking a button", to a ground-up rewrite that put it on part with it's counterparts from 2012, etc.
It's almost like it's failure was overdetermined.
Fascinating case study in a journey from ubiquity to obscurity.
- jjtheblunt 4y ago> The End of an Error not sure if that is autocorrect, or a joke, or autocorrect making a pun from "end of an era" with "error" given the sentiment. either way, it's funny!
- hyperdimension 4y agoYeah, regardless of the two it is, I'm saving that for later.
- mblevin 4y agoVery much on purpose and I stole that from somebody else long ago.
