the executive departures two weeks ago characterized
Evernote as “in a death spiral,” saying that user growth
and active users have been flat for the last six years
and that the company’s enterprise product offering
hasn’t caught on.
If a company isn't growing, its dying. Six years without customer growth? Its amazing they managed to rise a down-round, let alone any round at all.
Hey off topic, but if you use that markdown style for long quotes, it's simply awful looking on mobile. Gotta scroll waaaaay to the right, then alllll the way back.
I just do this:
>Hello I am a quote that is extremely long lined with no newlines. I will break based on the width of your device just like any other normal text inside an HTML element. Look how long I am wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
Listen. This is an HN style sheet problem, not user choice problem. The fact is, using the preformatted macro is a better way to highlight verbatim passages of text.
>Your version just mixes in with everything else you typed, and hardly looks like a differentiable block of text at all, regardless of whether it wraps or not.
Hey look! A completely distinct
block of text. And wow! It's
monospaced too! This gives the
impression that it's reprinted
exactly as originally written!
And all I had to do, to make phone
people happy was manually wrap at
maybe, like 30 chars. Amazing!
I can't argue the logic, but this makes me sad. Can't someone make a product that people will pay for that is sustainable over time (even if # new users == # lost users )? Why does everything have to be huge to exist?
Not everything does but they raised a lot of money on the presumption that they would become huge, and now that screws up the incentives for new hires etc.
