I 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.

Out 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?

I have been using Catch on Android for years now, I am going to try Google Keep but what other similar alternatives are there?

Likewise. Anyone figured out a nice way to import the CSV export from Catch into Keep ?

This 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.

I have an idea for a note taking app...

I'm curious to hear it. Also, are you a programmer?

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.

I'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.
