I had a similar discussion with a friend lately.

From analytics (mine [0] and friends) on various iOS apps, around 3-8% of active users use the widget.

So this answers the question partially = only a small percent of people use widgets. Hence low priority.

iOS widget use depends on the app category also. E.g

- productivity apps have higher widget usage because they have power users, and often users already think in workflows & quick access

- more general users don't care or don't know about widgets at all

That being said, regardless of the category, I always encourage companies to add it. Why?

- the cost is much lower than they usually think

- improves retention

- higher potential of forming a habit

sorry, yes

I wish there was more content like this - "making hundreds (not thousands) of $ in MRR after y years".

Give a dose of realism and pinpoint the second benefit — the skillset that is truly unique and worth it.

You no longer care about an isolated Jira ticket. You see a thread from vision to execution. As a dev, you start to value other parts of the company and build better bridges/interfaces between teams.

As someone said, building something on your own feels like staring into the abyss and eating glass. Be aware, it's not for everyone and can cost you — not only $$$ but relationships and health.

And that is even if you are passionate about the thing.

It reminds me of Steve Jobs's thoughts on this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PznJqxon4zE&ab_channel=coach...

Having started a side project in 2018 myself (now in low $$$$ MRR), I can attest that passion is key — because it's what you would do in your free time anyway.

If the thought is clear, I write it in a paper notebook as nicely as possible — in a "Daily Page" format.

If the thought is unclear, I write random contextual things in RM2 and erase or leave them there to mature or die.

I also use RM2 to read articles, pdfs, and draw or think about them.

So it mainly serves as a thinking space that feels Offline.

My non-obvious observation after five years in this field:

In essence, journalling is similar to a psychotherapy session.

The clarity of mind you get after a journalling session comes from structuring things in your head, not in your TfT tool.

Yet, as one would expect, people project that feeling onto a tool — which leads to more time invested.

Ultimately after the N-th session, when you try to use the tool to get more of that feeling — you get the opposite, burnout, and then people switch to a new TfT app for the same cycle.

These benefits are why "Daily Pages" were vital to Roam Research's success. Not the bi-directional links or graphs as many think.

"Daily Pages" get you closer to a new therapeutic session, which is what you want most of the time.

I use :

  - paper notebooks. 
  - remarkable 2 
  - markdown/notion + NeuraCache [I'm a founder] for flashcards and spaced repetition

I have never been happier with my setup.

yes, NeuraCache is a mobile app that can sync with OneNote (no matter how you use it)

Thanks! I will try to make adjustments to the copy

You have 4 algorithms to choose from currently (SM2 is one of them) https://neuracache.com/spaced/ + I am working on SRS editor that will allow you to define your own intervals.

You can quickly access your decks via tags/notebooks etc

"no export option" There is no need to export as you can't create content with NeuraCache.

You create cards in markdown or evernote or onenote or roam or ...

NeuraCache serves just as a viewer of flashcards that can be used with many sources.

if you don't want to silo your cards you might consider NeuraCache (https://neuracache.com/, I'm the creator)

If you are using Evernote, I've built this little tool that adds spaced repetition and flash cards capabilities to your notes & highlights. https://neuracache.com/

If Evernote will pursue the "Spaces" route, it's going to end up like Google+, trying to be like others without truly understanding why.

What they should do, is double-down where the puck is going in the context of individual productivity.

What is interesting in cases like this - it's all there, in their own forums. A roadmap vector based on their own WHY in a form of their userbase voice.

That being said, I still use Evernote. For existing Evernote users there are no real alternatives to it atm in my opinion (yup I'm using Notion, but for diff purpose). It's astonishing how much bullets can an original purpose-driven WHY take over the years and still keep going.

P.S I just build a tool for Evernote (https://neuracache.com/) just because these are the things that were missing for me the most. Again it's all in their forums, just as an example in the context of my own itch : https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/82427-spaced-repetitio...
