#2That’s a shame, though I do see that it is difficult to make any money from what it is. I’m glad they didn’t sell it to someone big for all the user’s data, though it is still early

It's owned by Automattic, isn't it? I assume they're simply keeping the lights on for whoever wants to use it.
For about a year I've noticed that it tends to quit on its own on my Mac. Whenever I need to look for a note I realize the app is inactive and I need to re-launch it. Then it works perfectly well, until somehow, at some point, it quits without me realizing.
It's sad that they're not fixing it, and that eventually it probably won't work with newer Mac OS and iOS versions. I should start looking for a way to migrate off of it.

#7From Simplenote to Simplynot. I liked it, it was like a popular app on Gnome or KDE, but available on mobile devices. It was well designed and privacy respecting. However, the walled gardens are hostile to such apps.

Mine is still coughing along on Ventura. I'm more upset about the one-decade-in-beta, almost-certain-never-to-be-released, quasi-vaporware nvULTRA.

You can just use neovim with fzf and that pretty much replicates nvALT.

It makes me miss the shareware era, back before races to the bottom and free corporate giant competition had all but eliminated any kind of profit margin on simple, but thoughtfully designed and well-built software.
How many of us have had ideas for little utilities and such that were never followed through on because the chances of even breaking even on them was so low? I know I have several.
