Microsoft to shut down Wunderlist in favor of its new app, To-Do

self hosting where possible from now on for me

Wunderlist was super useful - fast, all devices in sync, excellent browser version

starting to rethink using so many hosted services now - Zerigo is closing too in 10 days - that was another service a lot of time had been invested in setting up

it feels like the better a service is the more chance the team gets borged and the app shut down

I get grumpy about cloud services coming and going, and I can imagine how much marketing data we're all providing to Microsoft by sharing our shopping list this way, but then I remember what a pain in the ass hosting my own email was for a decade and what that would be like in this era of massive botnets.

Then I put my cane away because as much as I wave it at clouds, I will still use cloud services over having to host my own.
