I have been using unofficial addons for a while like Todoist and Trello and love the fact that they are making a step in the right direction. More integrations, more love.
On the other hand, I really hate their blog design. The reading space is less than half the screen. https://cl.ly/0h2z471o0v2W
Bear is amazing! The only issue i have is how do they make money. Math doesn't favor them. I hope they acquire enough users to justify that price point
I'm happy to be one of them. I honestly barely use it, but I had a ton of bookmarks at Delicious that I was uncomfortable about losing. $11/yr means they stick around, plus I do still stuff links in there every now and then.
A machine with can print legit money in any currency I want. I would definitely pay for that.
On a more serious note, I have a few workflow problems which will definitely make me shell out few bucks if there is a polished product.
In fact, i have more than a few. I'll give you one example. There should be a really nice cross-platform diff viewer for people who use git from the command line. My reasoning for that is that i like using the command line for git because it is way faster than GUI, but i always end up using the terminal for viewing diffs and stashes.
To be very honest i would love to use Path because i am sick and tired of facebook and dont really use it that much but the thing is none of my friends use Path. And this is probably the single most important reason people dont use Path.
They since passed the acquisition offer, they have only few two choices left go under or reinvent themselves just like few of the other social networks are doing like myspace. Venture money doesnt really proves a point that a business is healthy so i am not sure Path will be a money making business in the future.
What i really like is a location based social network where i can socialize with people i don't really know, or maybe a interest based social network. i will go with the former. The point is they HAVE to reinvent themselves before this VC money goes out.
Can anybody spread some light on the business model they are trying to follow? I know they sell software, but with a single software for $29 and few employees. They need to sell quite a few licenses to make it.
I know its an ignorant statement, but can anybody explain it to me.
I'm also curious how well this will work in the long run. Apple doesn't have a good model for paid upgrades on the app store and so far they've refused to implement anything to deal with it.
They've made enough money at this point that they could just tell all their developers to work on whatever they wanted and they'd still be well off in the medium term.
Their next big product should be a good standalone vector engine app that people can replace Illustrator with. That'd save a lot of designers I know several hundred dollars a year. Especially with Adobe's cloud stuff getting more and more mandatory…
Do you have a source for those numbers? I have no reason to doubt you, but you seem put off by the question. It's a legitimate concern before sending money to a company to ask how financially secure they are.
