Ultra Recall is DEAD!

I admire Kinook’s honesty - more companies should take that approach.

There are very few companies which can live from the money made out of software development and sales. My own software (16 years old and still going strong!) doesn’t make me enough money to keep me in tea bags - it’s a loss-leader for the rest of my business. There are numerous companies producing information management software which have had good basic products and major aspirations which just disappear or freeze because they have expectations of huge sales - a real waste of ideas and code.

It’s certainly a reminder to choose a product which allows easy export in usable formats - when I moved from UR to Zoot moving the data was a cinch (easy). Programs such as OneNote and The Brain don’t have these easy export routes, so one needs to be wary of how one uses them and what one stores.
