Product-wise I'd argue that Evernote was in the middle of a deshitification but was financially running on fumes, and the move to Electron was the right one although the release was rushed and it alienated the user base. I find it interesting that BS is a native mobile shop and now they have to manage some frontend built on top of Electron.

Growth-wise is another thing, I think they have decided to get rid of the free users and in my opinion they have skimmed too much from the free tier which is basically a "try before you buy" now.

Reality hasn't been good to Meetup. At this point, it's just a matter of squeezing the juice out of a dying tree.

Maybe I’m an outlier but I continue to use Evernote. It works well as of last 6 months (have had an account for over a decade) and find it just works well enough to not abandon.

they also own Filmic, which has also been thorooughly enshittified. Not holding my breath for Meetup
