I'm curious to know how / at what point you decided it has failed? What metrics helped?

I was a heavy evernote user a few years ago and then migrated to OneNote. I think one of the challenges that is causing evernote users to drain off is as its organization model for…

I'm struggling to understand the purpose of this compared to other collaboration platforms. Could you elaborate why this should matter to a team above and beyond other collab platf…

This is such sage advice and almost never mentioned. As an entreprenuer who's obviously over optimistic about the startups probability for success and the speed that it occurs you …

Platforms like Node become a necessity as you'd rather be faster to market and be more agile vs. being caught out building something that is useless in a nicely scalable platform o…

accidentally read that as 'easy piracy' vs 'easy privacy' :)

Do you have a 'no questions asked' refund policy? Do you still ask questions as of to why? We do have such a policy, but we do ask 'why?' in a manner that aims to clarify and impro…

Very nicely done! I think the separation of simulation is makes it more sensible. We did something similar in the earlier days of Creately, but ended up focusing on more diagrammin…

yeah, but they'll get there. just like google docs and buzzword can't hold a candle to MS word. most online apps are still quite early in their life cycles.
