Evernote yet again
10/6/2016
Out of 150 million registered users "the number of paying users is currently in the 'millions,'" and "20,000 businesses use the company's business version of the product."

I see ZenWriter is on sale at Du Jour again. I have never actually trialled this one. Are there any fans or users of it on this forum? There is not a whole lot of info about it on its website. I wonde...

New unofficial workflowy app
