There's definitely a market. The biggest competitor is not Evernote but 3M.
Actually, my app has been around a bit longer than Evernote.
A lot of my customers have told me that they switched to ShoveBox from apps like Yojimbo or Evernote because they really like its interface and the inbox/message/rules metaphor it uses.
I don't really have to beat Evernote -- though I certainly want to put a dent in. I wrote a syncing engine for the new app that's actually pretty abstracted out and device-agnostic. So I should be able to get a cloud-based solution rolling pretty quickly if I decide that's the right way to go.
But right now, I'm not so distracted with the idea of murdering Evernote. I'm living off the income from my company now -- I don't understand quite how -- and I'm delighted every time another sale comes in. And any incremental improvement in those numbers is awesome. I have ambitious sales targets for the rest of the year, and so far I'm meeting them. But what I'm doing is decidedly not a startup. The goal isn't to take over the world, but to be profitable, do good work, and be happy.
