That’s sad news. As a developer myself I know how difficult such decision is. The time spent developing, studying, trying to figure out the best approach, answering complaints just because we have a dream of what can be useful for other people. Most time software is a dream we envision. That’s the easy part. Make it come true is not easy. So I fell sad for Kinook folks and hope that is only a small hiatus.

Many times I received emails asking how many people work in ConnectedText, the size of our company and similar questions. I understand their worries. The investment in using a PIM is not measured only by the price of the license but also by the time spent adding information in it, polishing and editing. So it is natural that the end user needs to fell safe when he selects a program to store his work. Big companies also discontinue products. I have many examples. For instance: Brief an excellent programmer’s editor. Borland bought it and discontinued it soon afterwards. Talking about ConnectedText, it is not our main income, far from it, but it is always in development. Version 3.1 is almost ready and we have many plans for it. But as I said, as a developer, I can grasp the mixed feelings of Kinook people. I wish the best for them and that they can continue developing great products.
