It would increase the revenues but would lose the sustainability.
So Inkdrop will be more sustainable if you get less money? Thatāsā¦ ā¦interesting.
In notes, people refer to things. Some of those things are in documents that it makes sense directly to attach. Attachments arenāt always images. That is why Google Calendar has attachments, thatās why Evernote and Bear also has them and not just for images. How well would those products have done if they had only attached images? Worse. Why? Because they would have been less useful.
Features that lead to more features.
For example, if the app supported PDF format, some people may want a built-in viewer and a full-text search support for pdf files, just like Evernote, even though you donāt need it.
You mean you donāt need it. In any case, allowing different formats for attachments in no way commits you to developing lots of other features. Itās the same thing you can do for images already, just for other formats. To make that more clear: when you decided to allow image attachments, you clearly didnāt worry that people would demand an image editor function, and various Photoshop like features. Because thatās not a risk. So the reason you give (āfeatures that lead to more featuresā) doesnāt make sense.
Itās up to you, craftzdog, but Boostnote is hot on your trail, it already allows attachments of all formats and its free. You could listen to your customer base, as most successful products do, and have more of our money, or you can hold out until Boostnote has caught up and people just go with them. When that happens, tell us again about āsustainabilityā.
Best wishes.
