Evernote Blows Up the ‘Fail Fast’ Gospel
Most people don't know this, but evernote was created maybe 15 years ago, as a desktop app (<a href="https://lifehacker.com/download-of-the-day-evernote-2-0-windows-253471" rel="nofollow">https://lifehacker.com/download-of-the-day-evernote-2-0-wind...</a>). I used evernote before their version 3, which is the one everyone knows today. Evernote 2 was a brilliant note taking app, the first and best of its kind, and it cost a few dozen bucks, which I gladly paid... Then they shifted to the online version called Evernote 3, abandoned their original client base, and started charging a monthly fee in place of the perpetual license (that people already paid...).
All this, to say this wouldn't be the first time evernote disappoints loyal customers. I guess you do what you have to do to survive...
