Personally, I think Andrey covers an enormous amount of ground with his small team which does include him as a full time member ( if I remember correctly, he posted a small numbers of years ago to say that he was jacking the day job and going full time on MLO). In the last two (?) years he has:
. Built capable mobile versions of MLO for the main mainstream platforms . Set up a cloud environment allowing multiple instances of MLO to synch . Implemented an synch facility across these different platforms Yes - further enhancements to the desktop version have stalled in that time - but I am pleased to say that (as a member of the private beta group) that there are some major enhancements in V4 - some of which Andrey has already posted to the MLO blog about and others of which he has yet to mention. Not everything that I would like to see but enough to keep me very happy and to demonstrate that is committed to (and can deliver) a programme of major (and robust) enhancements to MLO in a relatively short space of time. I am using the MLO V4 beta for my day to day work and it is very stable and there are several features which have significantly improved my productivity.

I've pretty much gathered from what hasn't and has been said that Andrey just doesn't have the manpower to do all of this. It's apparent to me that he's not even trying to be competitive at this point probably because he can't. I'm willing to guess that MLO hasn't been Andrey's "bread and butter" so development is probably being done on the side. As much as I love MLO, let's face it, development is slow. I'm seeing features in open source software out there that is free, for example, that MLO has yet to include (i.e., rich text notes, calendar support) so as a user, I'm fortunate enough to be using a platform on which MLO works. All of these ideas sound great but when would any of it really be implemented? At this rate, not soon enough to be practical, it seems. I'm not trying to be negative but that's the state of things as they are now. If I'm wrong on that then by all means, let me know because I want to be.

MLO is doing a big mistake: no web app or API for MLO cloud, there is even no basic support for web planned . Now MLO is just not a true multi OS device. I've have 3 new machines and on every of them I cannot use MLO. One is Raspberry PI, one is laptop with Ubuntu, one is VMware with Lubuntu for my TV ( I have Windows PC and Galaxy note which I am using fine with MLO) . I know, this is Linux and Linux is not supported, but the problem is bigger: Now we have Windows RT released. How to use MLO? As in my example I have some machines with Linux, how to use MLO? If windows 8 fails, and some people will turn to Mac/Linux, what to do? If I bought chrome book, how to use MLO? In short I don't think the developement for all the OS will be fast enough without any web app... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
