Who is still using Evernote in 2023? Everyone I know is using either Notion or Google Keep.

It is kinda hard to move on when you have hundreds of notes you know... I still haven't moved, but I have been using Obsidian only locally for so long.

you do not know any sane ppl it seems.

they are not using google keep, they are just too dumb to make decisions for another app or use notion because the other mamals in the herd use it. don't be like that. help them evolve into proper humans.

This is why you don't buy in to subscriptions for every little thing.

I just remember things.

What happened to Evermote? 😂 I used it so much when u was in uni, so sad

Simplenote is also great and cross platform.

Lots of mentions for Obsidian. I'll throw in my favorite for the past few years that's similar: Logseq! Check it out!

Obsidian is a godsend. The sheer number of plugins gives you basically anything you could want.

It not being open-source is pretty much my only complaint lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Logseq if anyone is wondering about open source alternative.

weird that it isn't on F-droid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It is on F-droid if you add the Izzydroid repo to the app.

They list Notion, but IMO Obsidian is the better path. Lack of offline access to data is a big risk to using Notion, and what made me switch to Obsidian after being bit by internet access issues keeping me from being able to use my notes during a critical meeting. Hard no for Notion ever since.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That depends. If Notion goes down that's a problem. If you can't access Notion because YOUR internet is down, I don't see you being productive at all. The issue is moot as Notion syncs everything locally, so you can access your latest notes. You just can't push any changes to the cloud until you have internet again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

The notes being sync’d locally is exactly what would have allowed me to remain productive for that meeting. It sounds like Notion has this ability today, which is good to hear. In this example local access wasn’t yet an option. This was a few years ago though, and I’ll stop bringing this up as a gap since it no longer applies.

It was time to ditch Evernote YEARS ago. Obsidian is basically the best alternative.
