Couldn’t agree with you more.

I’m sorry I just have to reply to this little comment:

“Like Australians in Japan, I consider you a virus and want you the fuck out of my sight.”

Works the other way too.

Completely agree… I stumbled on this article this morning trying to find a note/to do app that interfaces with basecamp that is both stable and usable. I’ll keep wishing and wanting until someone develops it… until then let the F’bombs fly.

Then there’s Evernote. It’s literally the elephant in the room. I wish somebody would just poach the motherfucker and be done with it.

You nearly killed me with that I was laughing so hard! Brilliant post. I totally don’t mind the occasional F bomb.

Hey Brandon, this is Mike. I’m a developer for Simplenote. Thanks for the candid feedback! I wanted to point out that the reason it took us some time to add in-app emailing was because we were doing a big upgrade to iPhone OS 3.0. This took awhile to finish and get approved.

Also, we’re re-visiting our premium strategy next month. We appreciate your thoughts on that. A small thing regarding emailing notes into the service: we offer users a custom email address. This lets you send emails into Simplenote from any email address, not just the one registered with the service. Some people like that.

As for our praise being undeserved, I think Simplenote’s syncing has been the best on the market for quite awhile, and at our price point, it’s the perfect solution for people’s everyday text note needs. For blog authors and other heavy notes users, there are certainly some features we could add to extend your experience, like stars and tags.

Lastly, if you’d like to know what Gruber’s actual impact on Simplenote was, I invite you and your readers to check out The Surprising Story of Simplenote here:
