Hi Jay
Thanks so much for taking the time to lay all that out for us.
I would love to unreservedly share your excitement.. but for me it is tempered with concerns about the future. I wonder what the lack of represents… I suspect despite understanding the challenges you’ve explained, this audience probably always hoped for the time when you returned to use ready to smash out all the things we’d been waiting for.
Can I ask a couple of selfish questions to address my concerns?
A) RE a new app, what becomes of all the collaborative work that got us to this design? I’m a little scared that a new project would be based on a strong foundation but that we could lose all of that valuable front end stuff that we gave input on might be lost for the sake of a clean slate or meeting the needs of an entirely different audience.
B) Re the current app. Is there any way to keep some bug fixing going along in the background? I’m not talking about any major re-works or features, just knocking out some frustrations if they are simple enough to find and fix? Can WE do anything to increase those chances?
I ask the above questions as someone who organises their life within this app. I’ve never come across another piece of software that gives me so much of what I want for that vital task. I chose to become a premium / lifetime subscriber a few years as one way of showing my support. That represented a comparatively small financial investment, but I remain VERY invested the app’s existence from an emotional standpoint and I’m still willing to invest somehow in keeping it alive unless/until a viable alternative becomes available.
For perspective, I really only use the core app. None of the sync options like calendar etc. What matters to me most are the boards, panes and powerful filters.
Cheers, G
