Lack of competition...

I'm trying to revamp things on the Evernote side but in a different way.

We're making good progress and have a GREAT hacker user base but working to take it to the masses.

The next goal is to launch it on product hunt in 1-2 weeks.

We're also adding sharing and improving our web and mobile apps which is super important to getting adoption.

It's also Open Source and we're going to raise money soon with a 'kickstarter' style campaign to ask the community to fund continued development.

I want to build a platform that respect user rights and isn't trying to lock up the users data in a proprietary platform.

The reason it's called "Polar" is that it's designed to 'freeze' your knowledge in a safe place.

Safe being that it's Open Source and based on web standards.

I'm going to have it based on a .org style non-profit sort of like Wikimedia / Wordpress.org but also a for-profit company which has commitments to the non-profit which funds it in perpetuity.
