We've been pushing really hard over the last 6mo to develop this release. I'd love to hear feedback from people who've worked on big plugin systems in the past, or anyone who's tried our betas!

Really? I don't get that feeling at all. I use Evernote to archive anything I consider worth keeping. I wonder where such "fear of archiving" comes from.

A lot of people are retreating off public free-for-all platforms like Twitter to more siloed spaces like Discord, for many reasons, not just fear of archiving.

It all has the same effect of making it harder to archive though.
