I remember Muse. I checked out a lot of these "tools for thought" at that time because the pandemic slammed me with way more work than I could possibly hope to get done. Can't say I looked at it very long, and it's not surprising that it didn't catch on. Reasons: Pricing: It was a subscription for $100/year or something. Not necessarily a dealbreaker, but see the next point. You can indeed set your price too high. Limited functionality: AFAICT it was a pretty small part of the problem for most people. It's sort of like an Obsidian extension in terms of what it brought to the table. Stuck in the Apple ecosystem: A lot of software developers fool themselves into thinking everyone uses Apple. You're throwing away most of the market when you do this, even if it's what you want to do. > Muse got there for a few thousand people, but the economics of prosumer software means that just isn’t enough. You need tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, to make the cost of development sustainable. Then don't throw away most of the market by creating a product for the folks in your bubble.
