End of Act 2.Īct 3 began a few hours later after I finished the work I was under deadline for and finally replied to Alex’s email:Īlex, I appreciate the rapid response to my email. So I wasn’t locked out of all-but-5 of my workspaces.

Despite what the upgrade dialog said, the “Open workspace” button that was greyed out (the universal signal that a button is not functional) did in fact work if you clicked it. You signed in via SSO, and as a result, that’s how we need to verify you.Īlex was right. We are not locking any users out of their workspaces.Īs for SSO, this is just needed to authenticate you for security purposes. To start, you should be able to access all of your existing workspaces if you click the “Open workspace” button when you see the Upgrade modal. We’re sorry for the frustration this has caused. Thankfully, in the time it took me to go take a short walk and blow off steam, Alex Young at Workona sent me a reply via email. That, my good friends, is highly unethical business behavior.

I am beyond upset that after working with Workona for several months now-whose functionality I love and which I have already recommended to several friends and tweeted about-you suddenly, with NO WARNING-lock all but 5 of my workspaces and hold me hostage to upgrade to free them OR require an SSO connection just to export my own data. When I found a Workona contact form, I was almost shouting at the screen as I typed. I started clicking madly on the links provided in the upgrade dialog to find out who was responsible for this outrage. This fantastic new tool that had become an integral part of using my browser was suddenly blocking my own work in my own workspaces. …and up popped a new dialog saying the workspace was now “locked” and the only way to unlock it was to buy a premium subscription (to that point Workona has been completely free).
I thought, “Cool, I wonder what new feature this is?” I clicked one to find out… Suddenly there was a new icon next to many of my Workona workspaces. Pretty soon I am going to start wondering, “Am I using Workona inside my browser or am I using my browser inside of Workona?” End of Act 1.Īct 2 began at about 6PM last Tuesday night when I clicked the “New Version – Upgrade” button that appears in Workona when there’s a new update.
When they replied to thank me, I responded. I read so many reviews saying “it will change the way you use your browser” that I wondered if that could really be true. It is rare that a browser utility stands out enough to merit a direct personal endorsement. I was hooked enough that after a few weeks I tweeted out a love letter to Workona. (I won’t go into how Workona works here-just check out the many rave reviews.)
Within 30 minutes “my life in a browser” was changed forever. I did a little research and found several more such breathless endorsements, so I decided to give Workona a try. Then last March Google remotely blocked The Great Suspender because it had been sold to a malware company.Ī friend recommended I try Workona because “it does much more than just suspend tabs-it will transform how you work with your browser”. Here’s the story:įor at least four years I had been an inveterate user of The Great Suspender browser extension to help save memory due to the dozens of browser tabs I always had open in Chrome. This post is similar, but with a different ending. It’s blood-boiling incidents like that which move me past the inertia to actually push out a new post. So that explains why the last post was a rant about an experience with Lyft. This is the first post I’ve made in 2 years-for the simple reason that my day job in SSI (the acronym for Self-Sovereign Identity-click the link and read the book if you want to learn more) has been all-consuming (and showing no signs of abating).
