#13That’s unfortunate. Good to hear Adam will continue as podcast host. Metamuse has been fantastic.
I’m not an iPad user so I never got a real chance to try the product. The messaging here is a little unclear though: “we did not manage to make Muse into a sustainable business” carries a sense of finality, like it’s too late now.

#14The podcast is a fantastic listen (I started from the beginning recently).
And the product had so much promise - one of those I wanted to use but it practice found the gesture’s challenging.

Hi! I'm the Adam that's continuing Muse after this transition. It's definitely not too late for Muse - the sustainable business in that context is the full team of 7. Scaled down, I fully expect to support and grow Muse for years to come.

Hi! Sorry for nitpicking the letter, I understand something like this is challenging to write. I wish you all the best going forward!

#17> In that time our team has built a one-of-a-kind thinking tool and the world’s first large-scale local-first sync system. I wonder if building "the world’s first large-scale local-first sync system" was a distraction from the core mission. This is one of those things that developers love doing. There are a ton of cool algorithms to explore and CRDTs are really amazing algorithmically. However, I would guess that mos…
Apps that aren’t “local first” don’t work on the NYC subway for example, which is prime paper reading/thinking time for me.
Send a text on the subway? Text gets stuck at “delivering…” and times out minutes later after you forget it.
Read a paper from Paperpile on the subway? You can’t download it.
Post to Slack on the subway? Message appears to be sent with no feedback but then retroactively disappears from your history when you get to work.
Local first apps like Things, Apple Notes, Anki, and Muse are awesome for long commutes.
