Microsoft shutting down Wunderlist in 6th of May, 2020

The original company blog announcement (the canonical "Our Incredible Journey") is https://www.wunderlist.com/blog/join-us-on-our-new-journey/

Wunderlist has been absolutely awful for me the last 6 months or so. It crashes all the time on opening, and the syncing is so bad that sometimes items will disappear from a list immediately after I add them, then reappear a while later, on a single device.

This is on an iPhone 6s; I'm not sure if it's always been this bad and I just didn't notice early on, or if something changed. The only thing keeping me on it is the fact that my wife is familiar with it too and we share a few grocery lists, which is extremely handy.

What's with the video paired with the announcement? [1] It doesn't make any sense without the "moving" metaphor from the post, and even with it it's really strange.

Even though I knew this day was coming, it's still a bummer. Wunderlist hasn't been updated in ages and didn't need to. It was functional and stable enough to get out of your own way. It's clean, concise and not overly complicated.

I still haven't found a good alternative to switch to. Microsoft's Todo app is garbage and I don't care to deal with that ecosystem just for a Todo app either. Can't they just open source the entire thing so we can just self host it?

Wow this is disappointing. I still use wunderlist for collaborative sharing of todos. It has not received major updates in forever but honestly it doesn’t need it. Still fully functional. It will be a sad day when it’s shut down.
