Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off (news.ycombinator.com)

Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

In case anyone is looking for a recommendation, I started using Obsidian for taking notes recently. It creates markdown files which keeps things nice and clean and then I use Syncthing to sync my files rather than their paid sync option. If Obsidian ever enshitifies I can either use an old version of the application or switch to any other markdown editor.

I'm considering having some sort of nightly sync to a git repo as well for version control but that might be more complexity than I need.

I recently moved to logseq and I've been pleasantly surprised.

+1 for logseq. It lowered my barrier to writing new notes.

Just add a hashtag of the topic and start writing to your daily journal.

I use Obsidian in the work laptop because they don't allow any cloud tool for confidentiality and I like it a lot.

For personal stuff I've been using OneNote just because its free and has clients for almost every system I use.

Using Obsidian + Google Drive.

Been using Obsidian for a bit less than a year. It’s been great for what I need it to do - take notes because I suck at keeping facts and data straight throughout my day.

There is a git plugin for obsidian that works really well, and is pretty simple to setup. I use it to backup the notes and it can be configured to commit every x minutes.
