If you’re like me with millions of things “to do” and no time to do them, you’re probably using a task manager. Sure Apple has the “Reminders” app, but it doesn’t really work for stuff more complex than shopping lists. Two years ago a company called 6Wunderkinder introduced Wunderlist to the world. It’s a free task manager that had incredible growth during that time. Seriously, they have 3 million active users today. That IS something.
Then they decided to up the game and released Wunderkit – a collaboration platform based loosely on Wunderlist. The problem with it though is the fact that it’s 100% online and MUCH more complicated. Apparently users were wowed at first, but then rejected the app altogether and went back to Wunderlist. Which is exactly what I did (sorry guys).
Apparently they realized that they already had a hit product and it’s better to stick to improving on it, than to create the next big think, as it’s always tricky. In a recent blog post they explain why they’re coming back to WL and share their thoughts on Wunderkit’s failure.
What’s best about it is the fact that it’s gonna be native now, instead of being based on Titanium. That means that the 100% CPU usage bug on Macs will no longer be the issue. Also they’re planning frequent updates and new features! Awesome!
