Removed sentence
editHi. I removed this sentence because there are two aspects that make no sense to me:
"Readdle originally focused on the creation of document-related productivity tools for the consumer market, with a recent addition of a business-oriented subscription-based model."
1) I don't know what a "document-related productivity tool" is. It's jargon, so a wikilink could help, or turning it into plain English 2) I understand what a "business-oriented subscription-based model" is but it's about pricing not about product, so it doesn't fit in a sentence that begins 'originally we just made X but now we also make Y'. In this case, X will become clear when you answer the point above, but Y doesn't seem to be a product.
