![]() ![]() ![]() I don't need to spend six months now to look for an alternative. But for me I am in between plain text note taking and EN task management. It's not the first time Evernote has issues but the determination to go can accumulate although it can be slow and gradual.Īcquisition may not be bad news and Bending Spoons may do a better job. Most of them may still keep using Evernote for most of the time but they can have a rough idea about their new ways of the second brain. The fact is, many people have been preparing that for two years or more (issues of EN for these years like privacy, news of financial difficulties, price increase, v10 launch.). NB the deal is not ratified until at least next year, and big deals can be adventuresome (looking at you, Elon)Īnd just on the flip side - if you're inclined to immediate panic and frantically look around for somewhere else to be - you'll waste 50% or so of your productive time in the next 6 months trying to find an alternative solution, and at least that for another year getting everything in place with a new provider - which could turn out to be the biggest mistake you made this decade.īreathe, people - be calm stuff happens. I have some backups / exits in place 'just in case' and they'll still be available if everything goes south. I already said elsewhere - initial reaction was a major WTF?, but slightly more nuanced view says - treat this like all the other software apps that have been sold / 'improved' / crashed in the past - as long as it continues to deliver I'm fine. What new owner is not going to say, "Well, hmm, let's take a look at that"? But I don't quite trust Ian Small's assurances that it will be full steam ahead with the current beta and near-beta developments Evernote has going. It will probably at last shift Evernote off its U.S.-centric approach to languages and keyboards. This is probably way, way better than Evernote being bought by Google or Microsoft. I'm not jumping ship till I see what happens. Please respond with any known examples of this going well for the culture being swallowed. One corporate and tech development culture is going to be swallowed up by another. Which is actually pretty good for me, but I know lots of people want to see lots of other stuff in it. Here are mine:Ī company focused on mobile apps for iOS makes me worry that Evernote for Android will never be gotten right, and Evernote for Windows may not develop beyond where it is now. And this forum being this forum, go ahead with your anxious and maybe baseless fears too. Please chime in with any data or experience you have concerning Bending Spoons. Their focus is on mobile iOS apps, e.g., for video and photo editing. They developed Italy's COVID contact tracing app. If you haven't yet clicked a green banner at the top of your forum page, here's the link:įollowing links from there, and checking Wikipedia, I learn that Bending Spoons is a very fast-moving, highly regarded company (they have a manifesto, so, yay, I guess). ![]()
