Public Sticky notes
So you sell "simple" as if it were this wonderful thing, when, coincidentally, it's the only thing you have the resources to produce.

But if you think simplicity means "not very many features" or "does one thing and does it well," then I applaud your integrity but you can't go that far with a product that deliberately leaves features out.
