Really liked Tabbles before the update. No clouds, no SQL, no registration. Just me, my files, and tags. Simple, effective. In fact, the only thing I think is missing is Tabs. That’s what I expected anyways when I first heard the software.
I guess you’re targeting businesses rather than a normal desktop user. Sure, a desktop user may have a NAS or a server of his own. Maybe he’s working with his laptop and mobile devices too. But why can’t we just have a much simpler solution? Some people just can’t be bothered setting up a database for their own local tabble solution. Some people don’t trust putting information in the cloud.
I guess, its not a very good business model. And here I thought the long awaited Tabbles update will be worth it. The features you’ve added should be optional. Why should people need to be logged in a cloud service when all his files that needs to be organized is in his Desktop.
Any desktop users out there find these updates and cloud service necessary? Because sure, you may decide to reformat your PC and be like “oh no, all my tag-bubbles will be gone! I wish there is a service to back it up.” and you know what would be a great solution rather than a cloud service? Local backup and restore. Sure, a free cloud service thing is useful and the automatic backup of tags would be great.
Tabbles, in its current direction, is now not a desktop solution and now aiming to be an enterprise software and that’s just sad as it would’ve been better as a desktop solution.
