ELI5 What ever happened to Evernote?

because I have a thoughts been killing me in the back of my head:

Need a family version but self hosted + cloud which allows for an auto push of notes, pics and calander to your own thing..

basically a family planner.



TLDR- the founder quit, a bunch of suits took over, they gutted the dev team and put the app on life support for years. Bugs piled up and nobody could fix them so they outsourced to a new offshore team who rewrote the whole thing in Electron... which of course was waaay too little, way too late.


Remember the whole copy paste debacle where they literally couldn't figure out how to allow for pasting with formatting versus pasting without formatting?

That went on for practically a year until I finally just jumped ship and ported all of my notes into markdown.


You sound like someone i need to talk to email via profile.
