Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off - eviltoast

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.

      I tried Joplin for a little while, after having tried others. Found myself going back to VSC with Markdown preview.

      But once I tried Obsidian? Aww yiss.

      The first I’d heard of Obsidian was at the same time I heard about the Zettelkasten method. Which was thanks to having stumbled across this video: The FUN and EFFICIENT note-taking system I use in my PhD

      It’s been a while since I watched it, so my apologies for not being able to give a TLDW summary.

      Since adopting it for myself, I’ve found out that an old semi-retired dev friend, as well as a younger dev that actively contributes to at least 2 projects on GitHub (both popular) are keen users of Obsidian.

        I used to be a big fan of Standard Notes, until they revamped their UI ans made it super clunky on Android. I’ve switched to Notesnook which is a little bit better in that regard.

          Interesting, I don’t remember what the old UI did better. I was pretty frustrated with them for some of the bugs that came with the new UI though (which seem to mostly be fixed now).

          I might checkout Notesnook at some point, I’d realistically like to see their code audited though and a few more years of them being around. It would definitely be the first software I’ve used knowingly out of Pakistan and I’m not familiar enough with Pakistan politics to know what kind of implications that might have on the security of the product.

          (Granted, Standard Notes is out of the United States, and as patriotic as I am, I don’t trust my country to uphold privacy rights so… Maybe that’s insignificant, an audit would regardless still be nice)
