Yet another example as to why having "millions of users" does not mean success...

But what does that say bout hte business leaders? Serious Question:

How is it that seemingly many 'businesses' can be started to scale to "millions" -- yet fail in finding ANY way to cover OpEx?

Yes, this makes me humbly proud of my achievements: few customers, profitable can can continue to invest in R&D beyond the operational aspects of the business.

Does anyone know what happened? I found catch to be quite preferable to evernote (simpler, less permissions, cleaner interface on mobile).

I was one of their happy users.

Clean interface, working sharing etc.

I also have an everyone account but preferred catch.

I have been using Catch on Android for years now, I am going to try Google Keep but what other similar alternatives are there?

Likewise. Anyone figured out a nice way to import the CSV export from Catch into Keep ?

I guess SpringPad and Evernote

OneNote

https://wri.pe will support to import from catch.com, it’s simple note note taking app.

wri.pe has less features than Catch.com. Probably wri.pe will import just texts.

I'm currently a user of catch.com, I'm planning to try wri.pe but what I'd really like to see is a self-hosted alternative.

What... did they do?

from this URL that is still live, I gather it is kind of like Evernote: https://catch.com/learn-more/why/

Good find, it looks like you're right, essentially another collaborative to-do app (note, visit the link yourself, I am grossly oversimplifying)

I really wonder why they are shutting down. This kind of service doesn't seem like it would take a lot to run, and even less so if they didn't have enough users

I think they tried starting a company, not a charity.

For something that _costs_ money of each user, every user is a user too many. You need customers, and I don't think they had any (the service seems to have been free)

They caught things. I'm not sure what but apparently those things did not include "on".

I had no idea what they did (had never heard of them) but the domain is impressive. Probably worth half a million. Domain market isn't what it used to be.

Out of curiosity, could you elaborate a bit more on what's causing downward pressure in the Domain market?

Is it the proliferation of new TLDs?

This is from a reputable domain broker I spoke to, as I was trying to sell a decent domain I own. She said that keyword domains and short single word domains even were all lowering in value recently. This was due to google search eliminating people's need to remember a domain, more TLDs (.co, etc) and people using social to find things too.

Any alternatives? Evernote is way too much for our organization's users. Google Keep looks great, but without folders it doesn't work for us :(

no!!! i loved their service :O

Plan B: sell the domain to a dating site to pay the investors back something?

I have an idea for a note taking app...

I'm curious to hear it. Also, are you a programmer?

Miss you.
