They "sold" their company to Evernote for stock in 2011-12. Let's just say that didn't work out so well for them.
Not that it's clear they'd have been much better off had they stayed independent. They had millions of users but no revenue.
Startup life can be brutal.

Typewriter mode, .md syntax, customizable themes, sweet tagging and filtering / organization (way better than Evernote). And you can save directly to native file structure. Haven't tried out the mobile app yet, but can highly recommend the desktop app.
Any self hosted alternative to Evernote? Never used Evernote, but sounds nice.
Just in case: I am one of three initial Evernote developers who implemented the idea of Stepan Pachikov : https://notes.sciter.com/2017/09/11/motivation-and-a-bit-of-...

One huge problem is that there’s a lot of competition that provides most of the same core features for free—like Apple Notes, for example. It’s also easy to repurpose apps like MS Word and Google Docs to achieve the same functionality. Obviously they’re very different apps designed for a different purpose, but many of my friends don’t seem to mind. They just want a reasonably functional way to take notes for free.
OneNote is a direct competitor and honestly a better one
I replaced Evernote with Dropbox Paper and haven't looked back.

$1 per download isn't enough to pay the bills. That's not much more than a 99¢ game. It means people don't actually value the product enough to pay for it.

I haven't found good alternatives for my use cases, but depending on your needs, you can host Paperworks[1] on Sandstorm[2]. Synology also has a DSM app "Note Station".[3] [1] - http://paperwork.rocks/ [2] - https://sandstorm.io/apps/index [3] - https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/note_station
the only thing stopping me from importing everything into it is that there is only 1 export option. they need to add a html option and maybe plaintext
