if you push the field forward and you are not making the money, then someone else is off your work. if you push the field forward in a valuable way, you should receive that value in form of money such that you can decide how to allocate that capital to make even further contributions.
If you push a field forward, you are usually not making the money. You most likely have the wrong skills and the wrong priorities, and you are probably too far ahead of the rest of the world. The people coming in the next wave will usually be the ones making the money.
If you can't accept that, focus more on making money and less on developing something new.
Exactly, just because it’s a non profit doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to pretend money doesn’t exist. It means profit is instead put back into making further advancements in the field rather than paying it out to shareholders.

The app on the left is Evernote and on the right is Memrey. Evernote sports the most traditional notebook type UI with a column of notes and an area to show the notes. Apple notes, simple note, and many others have this same design.
Memrey has the same infinite scroll list allowing you to select a note, but the interface loads 4 notes at a time on each page. So you see your note in full, and the surrounding context of notes. This makes it much easier to browse and understand your notepad. It is the type of thing that once you use this new UI, you will never want to go back to the traditional UI again.
Memrey is the future of the notepad. The notepad has been used throughout time as a thinking tool for innovative minds from inventors to scientists to artists.
Memrey is specifically designed for people who depend on their notepad to progress their passions. We have taken on the challenge to create a notepad with both advanced features and a simple innovative, elegant design.
After using Memrey for sometime, many users find it hard to go back to more traditional notepad applications. Memrey's user interface allows you to experience your notes in a context based format, allowing you to fully comprehend and work between multiple notes in a single view.
Advanced data syncing and collaboration features put Memrey in a league of its own. No other notepad application comes close to matching the Memrey's real time capabilities.
If you depend on your notepad for your passions, consider using Memrey as it was designed specifically for people like you. Many consider it the best digital notepad product available from design to functionality, Memrey stands out from the rest.
Memrey sync way better than simplenote I kid you not. In fact no other application sync as fast as Memrey, its core technology is built for this stuff. And it is available for all platforms as well.
I read your Medium post and was curious what you would think about Memrey https://www.memrey.com
With Memrey we offer our users 256 bit AES encryption. If a user encrypts their notepad not even we can decrypt the users data.
Also we plan to integrate PDF backups emailed to you on a monthly basis. Right now you can download a PDF backup of any notepad, but automatically emailing it every month would be a nice way of having it be worry free.
If you get a chance I would be curious to know if you think Memrey would solve your issues? It is one of the most advanced notebook products on the market.
Memrey is a work of passion and is unlike any other notepad app you have tried. Thank you for taking the time to discover Memrey. We look forward to your feedback! We are constantly working to improve the product and our users experience.
Also if Memrey does not work for you, please let us know why!
I found this article interesting. There is a lot in the article I found to be related to Tesla for example:
"If management wishes to protect shareholders from a "dinosaur" with an outdated business model or core product, the correct stance may be to defend the company to the end. Such an acquirer, whose own growth is in decline, would bleed the acquired company and dilute shareholder value."
Hello, thanks for checking out Memrey. It is my first time posting it here. If you didn't notice on the landing page there is a button which will allow you to quickly login to a demo account to try out Memrey without having to sign up. Also Memrey works in any modern browser and also has native apps for most platforms, Mac (app store), Windows (beta release), iOS (app store), and Android (play store). If you want to try the beta Windows version let me know.
I created Memrey for myself in 2012 after discovering a new notes interface that changed the way I think and work. Now I have been working on Memrey full time for over a year, and the active user base has been growing organically.
In most notebook apps your limited to viewing and editing a single note at a time. Not only that but you don't get to browse your notes in context of your other notes. Your limited to clicking each individual note in the notes list. With Memrey, multiple notes are placed in the same view so you can easily work between them. Another big problem with typical notebook apps is that the scrolling list gets too long. If you want to get to the last note, you'll be scrolling all day. With Memrey you have the option to use the page selector as well as the scrolling notes list. With the page selector you can select the last page and efficiently get to the last note in your notepad.
Also each note in Memrey is like a google doc. Each note has multi-author concurrent editing technology and you will see the cursor of anyone actively editing a note.
I have analyzed many notebook apps, and Memrey is one of the, if not the, most advanced notebook app available. Let me know if you think another notebook app is better, I will gladly check it out and let you know what I think.

There is a free plan and a pro plan. Check out the landing page to see what the pro plan offers, but basically unlocks some advanced features as well as increases data allowances.
I hope to continue to grow Memrey into a much larger company. Eventually I hope to create a search gallery where users can list helpful public notes and notepads for others to view. This will take Memrey from being a useful tool, to also being a collaborative, social platform. Steps towards this have already begun with the current addition of the profile page.
Please feel free to comment on anything! What you like, what you don't like, what is confusing, and what is absolutely terrible. Anything goes.
Also advice on the business model, and business in general is also helpful.
Right now the landing page is pretty weak, so I am working to improve that asap. I am trying to figure out how to proceed and how to grow Memrey.
