I'm curious to know how / at what point you decided it has failed? What metrics helped?

I was a heavy evernote user a few years ago and then migrated to OneNote. I think one of the challenges that is causing evernote users to drain off is as its organization model for notes is broken unless you are highly disciplined in using

I'm struggling to understand the purpose of this compared to other collaboration platforms. Could you elaborate why this should matter to a team above and beyond other collab platforms out there?

This is such sage advice and almost never mentioned. As an entreprenuer who's obviously over optimistic about the startups probability for success and the speed that it occurs you usually skip and sacrifice a lot in life. One thing I l

Platforms like Node become a necessity as you'd rather be faster to market and be more agile vs. being caught out building something that is useless in a nicely scalable platform over a longer period. Lean startups FTW.

Same applies for things like Meteor.js which are based on Node. Lot's of people dabble in it but to truly know how to not screw it up when building something bigger it takes patience, experimentation and serious effort. This is somewha

Awesome! Also - wouldn't it be better if Ratings, Votes were not ranges but had lower bounds? Ex. 7+ rating and 50K+ votes. I saw that you can choose multiples, but you'd rarely search for a 7-8 rated movie and not want to see a 9

This is great. I've found a lot of success with emailing users with a single question in a short email. (~30% response rate). Do you have any numbers on people responding via clicking survey links vs. normal text responses?

I'm running a Meteor production app myself and found similar performance bottlenecks. However, the Meteor community has really done some great work in solving some core issues and others are on the 1.0 roadmap. Some comments on this be

Keeping customers inside the site is a priority for some (vs. pushing some discussions to say zendesk) and this fits in perfectly. btw, may be make the 'try live demo' link a bit prominent and have a hint about how to close the fullscreen c

Do you have a 'no questions asked' refund policy? Do you still ask questions as of to why? We do have such a policy, but we do ask 'why?' in a manner that aims to clarify and improve our service. A subset of the users are nice enough to exp

Very nicely done! I think the separation of simulation is makes it more sensible. We did something similar in the earlier days of Creately, but ended up focusing on more diagramming and less simulation as time went by. I think use cases lik

yeah, but they'll get there. just like google docs and buzzword can't hold a candle to MS word. most online apps are still quite early in their life cycles.

Gotta try it with my service as well. One thing keeping us back from pushing it further up is the current, lower pricing. What happened to the existing users when you doubled the price? Did your cancellations go up? Or did you freeze the pr
