THREAD: 2020 review of the productivity app space
and a look into how that impacts 2021 
*my own opinions
. @Evernote 
has moved in the right direction with stabilising the platform, but still has a long way to go. I have faith that 2021 will be their revival year - whether people embrace or not is yet to be decided...

. @NotionHQ has their BEST year. Now every YouTuber and mainstream productivity app user is now locked in, with timeline and smaller stability features on mobile in 2020 helping them out, 2021 is all about that API and having plenty of launch/marketplace apps!
Tools like @wallingapp , @supernotesapp , @craftdocsapp saw some smashing growth in 2020 and I see big things for them this year 
The future of advanced note-taking has clearly been cemented with backlinks and graphs - and @RoamResearch has been winning the horse-race with this one - however @obsdmd is the real gem 
as we look forward with potential to be the go-to personal knowledge management tool
Whilst we saw the rise of @NotionHQ and @RoamResearch - many began dropping tools like @todoist and @culturedcode - purely due to the ability to centralise their work into fewer tools - this trend will continue into 2021 
That being said... 
Focus management tools could replace to-do list applications in 2021 as a way to focus rather than see a large list... the folks at MakeTime app demo'd this perfectly...

Evernote, Taskade, Walling
(on the rise)
Roam, Obsidian
Dynalist
Todoist, TickTick, To-Do
*Fallers indicates a drop in relevance, not a complete irrelevance

With the following predictions for 2021 
AI prod apps
Focus management apps (sole task apps, or limiting tasks)
Personal Knowledge Management
Task management apps (without a wiki)
Naturally all of these are based on folks who are avid productivity tool goers.

Hopefully people see this as just my opinions and not as fact. But I will hopefully summarise this more formally in a full video - I'm not always right, neither am I always wrong.
The main belief is that we'll hopefully a huge focus on AI/smart productivity apps which...
