Some People Don't Learn From Other's Mistakes

Weebly doesn't!

On October 1st Weebly surprised everyone with a new update. Weebly Carbon. The update has new features to make websites better.

But there were problems. In spite of testing (supposedly) Carbon is buggy. Really buggy. Users noticed. And complained. On Twitter (@weebly). And on the blog announcing the release (http://www.weebly.com/blog/carbon). 600 comments and growing.

Evernote pulled off a similar feat in the past year by revamping Penultimate to be more like notes in Evernote. Just about everything that made Penultimate the best handwriting app for tablets was reimagined. And screwed up. At least that is what their users told Evernote. Over the following weeks several reimagined features were returned to a shadow of their former selves.

I don't use Penultimate any more.

If I could easily migrate to another website building service, I would stop using Weebly. They will fix the bugs eventually. But a company that would release such a mess and without warning or any fallback solution is not a company that deserves anyones trade.

Shame on you Weebly.
