Next step: UI components a-la http://witheve.com/
Can't we have TUI instead, with fixed position menus, sane shortcuts, search bar for actions and options and such?
Just the other day I was wondering about how we have the touchscreen ticket vending machines for ~10 years now, and they are still not working when the whether is sunny or rainy. Moving the cursor with physical buttons was a much better construction.
(Some) GUIs used to be like that, merely adding pointing devices as an alternative way to operate, and for inherently graphical tasks. It doesn’t need to be restricted to TUIs.
tl;dr it was hard to monetize, experimental research not really well fitting the startup model, but at the core of it I think it lacked a compelling, concrete problem to solve. Eve was an amazing tool with a lot of potential, and an unclear story of how a person might actually want to use this tool in their life.
