I think it's apparent that Evernote and similar single-feature companies pproviding these single features like notes or reminders or to do lists or contacts are doomed unless they get bought by one of the big players. I'll happily pay $10 / month to Apple or Google or MS, assuming basic privacy, to deal with everything - my email, notes, sketches, brainstorms, files, bookmarks, reminders, calenders, contacts, etc. Bu…

Geez, that's disturbing. To think Xournal does it more or less for gratis & libre!
Xournal comes so, so close. You gotta roll your own out of app organization/tagging scheme, which isn't a big deal in keyboard mode, but when my machine is in stylus mode, totally sucks. (I used folders to organize Xournal files. Hard to navigate via stylus. Compare to say onenote with good stylus/touch us) Also, the UI is just funky. Switching colors of the pen requires carefully tapping an extraordinarily tiny colo…

>The font and point size can be modified using the "Text Font" command in the Tools menu (or the toolbar button).
Yup, just like I said.
>Alternatively, images can be pasted directly from the clipboard (without having to select the image tool).
Nope, non functional on Ubuntu 18.04, have tried countless times.
Evernote user for a bunch of years. Then switched to just using Atom + .md files. A couple months ago tried out Ulysses and fell in love. ( https://ulysses.app/ ) 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.

Evernote is not a product, it's a feature. Hence why you have equivalent or better software from other companies Also, it also struck me as not very user friendly and a tad bureaucratic
Maybe I’m oblivious, but I’ve never heard bureaucratic applied to software. I’ve got to say it fits perfectly in this case.
> “In the past three months (June, July, August), Evernote has been downloaded 2.5 million times worldwide,” a spokesperson for analytics firm Apptopia said. “After store fees, the app has brought in revenues of $2.9 million through in-app purchases.” That seems like... not a lot... for a company that has raised $300 million in funding.
$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 actually want to move away from Evernote but you guys dont have Android which is a deal breaker for me.

It’s back. DVD.com is Netflix’s DVD by mail business.
Really? I wonder how it will compete with Redbox? We rarely watch movies (we don't even have a Netflix subscription), but when we do it is a spur of the moment thing so we just run around the corner to redbox and grab something. Waiting for a movie in the mail? That's so 2010 ;-)
I find it fascinating that this is core idea that made Netflix so successful, they just rely on much lazier customers than you!

I mean, is this the point where Evernote realizes products eventually reach market saturation, and you need to start playing some bullshit business games like planned obsolescence or recurrent payments to keep up the growth curve (or, alternatively, realize you've done a good job, and move on to do something else)?
