Not trying to defend them, but I think it’s a problem of scaling up. The user base grew very quickly and keeping up with the support inquiries must be a tough job. Therefore the first like of defense is AI support replies.

I agree with you, they should care.

This makes me want to restart working on Owky - my 2FA open-source pet project.

Owky is short for “Own your keys”. Therefore the user owns the data - can easily be exported, and there’s no server sync (on purpose). No iCloud sync, nothing.

The app needs some love indeed, but it’s in a usable state.

Nice work!

Reminds me of Manta https://github.com/hql287/Manta, which unfortunately has been abandoned 5 years ago.

AFAIK, Bending Spoons is a company that successfully launched a couple of mobile apps and they know how to make a living out of it.

According to an engineer who works for them and who I know, it’s a very demanding and stressing environment to work in. Probably they simply plan to throw more work at their existing employees.

The plan was to buy Evernote and make it profitable. It wouldn’t surprise me if they kill the project if it turns out not to be profitable.

I'm not interested in full-time contracts, I will consider only part-time or project work. Don't ask me to build your landing page; I usually build more complex systems.

Do they expect to have any EU user after being out 2 months? I've been chatting with the support and I heard only the classic "soon".
