Catch.com: Terminating service next month
- tdd1 13y agono!!! i loved their service :O
- hardwaresofton 13y agoWhat... did they do?
- mynegation 13y agofrom this URL that is still live, I gather it is kind of like Evernote: https://catch.com/learn-more/why/ https://catch.com/learn-more/why/
- hardwaresofton 13y agoGood find, it looks like you're right, essentially another collaborative to-do app (note, visit the link yourself, I am grossly oversimplifying) I really wonder why they are shutting down. This kind of service doesn't seem like it would take a lot to run, and even less so if they didn't have enough users
- Someone 13y agoI think they tried starting a company, not a charity. For something that _costs_ money of each user, every user is a user too many. You need customers, and I don't think they had any (the service seems to have been free)
- SmokyBorbon 13y agoThey caught things. I'm not sure what but apparently those things did not include "on".
- rinon 13y agoDoes anyone know what happened? I found catch to be quite preferable to evernote (simpler, less permissions, cleaner interface on mobile).
- eitland 13y agoI was one of their happy users. Clean interface, working sharing etc. I also have an everyone account but preferred catch.
- samstave 13y agoYet another example as to why having "millions of users" does not mean success... But what does that say bout hte business leaders? Serious Question: How is it that seemingly many 'businesses' can be started to scale to "millions" -- yet fail in finding ANY way to cover OpEx?
- wslh 13y agoYes, this makes me humbly proud of my achievements: few customers, profitable can can continue to invest in R&D beyond the operational aspects of the business.
- known 13y agoMiss you.
- xadoc 13y agoI have been using Catch on Android for years now, I am going to try Google Keep but what other similar alternatives are there?
- moondowner 13y agoI guess SpringPad and Evernote
- 300bps 13y agoOneNote
- rowanseymour 13y agoLikewise. Anyone figured out a nice way to import the CSV export from Catch into Keep ?
- jessor 13y agoAny alternatives? Evernote is way too much for our organization's users. Google Keep looks great, but without folders it doesn't work for us :(
- adamrubin 13y agoPlan B: sell the domain to a dating site to pay the investors back something?
- brianbreslin 13y agoI had no idea what they did (had never heard of them) but the domain is impressive. Probably worth half a million. Domain market isn't what it used to be.
- josh2600 13y agoOut of curiosity, could you elaborate a bit more on what's causing downward pressure in the Domain market? Is it the proliferation of new TLDs?
- brianbreslin 13y agoThis is from a reputable domain broker I spoke to, as I was trying to sell a decent domain I own. She said that keyword domains and short single word domains even were all lowering in value recently. This was due to google search eliminating people's need to remember a domain, more TLDs (.co, etc) and people using social to find things too.
- masuidrive 13y agohttps://wri.pe https://wri.pe will support to import from catch.com, it’s simple note note taking app. wri.pe has less features than Catch.com. Probably wri.pe will import just texts.
- quicksilver03 13y agoI'm currently a user of catch.com, I'm planning to try wri.pe but what I'd really like to see is a self-hosted alternative.
- taude 13y agoI have an idea for a note taking app...
- gab008 13y agoI'm curious to hear it. Also, are you a programmer?
