I haven’t used Evernote in at least a decade, I didn’t even think they were still around.

It’s official: note taking app with 0 advantages over just plain ass notes synced via cloud signs death warrant.
For real, FOSS software that saves to a file folder and does all of this exists. They are just chasing us into their arms.

Yay FOSS. But RE: death warrant…
I can imagine it being a decent money move.You have a big user base that maybe isn’t really growing anymore. Anybody who wanted your shiny optional features is already paying for them. You’re not monetizing your free users.
What to do?
Kick everybody off the platform unless they pay up!
Now everybody who can afford your subscription but isn’t technical enough to search “migrate Evernote” is a customer.
And that’s probably more than like seven people too!
Obviously I’m not evaluating any business ethics here… just moneyyy!

If you’re looking for a name drop, Joplin does nicely for my uses.
Jeff@lemm.ee 11 months ago
I also use Joplin!

I’ve heard Joplin is good. Also Obsidian is apparently amazing with plug-ins. I’m leaning towards Obsidian myself. But between Google and MS, I figured Keep and Evernote would’ve been impossible to challenge.

+1 for Obsidian, I wrangled long with the fact it is not open source, but since it handles file with markdown formatting and saves them openly accessible, I gave it a try anyway. Really like it but will definitely never be open to pay a subscription for it. One time payment, absolutely!

Obsidian is not FOSS though, right?

Does it support drawing on tablets? Also, if I wanted something to use to create handwritten digital notes, how would I go about that. Not that many good degoogled tablet options out there and linux tablets aren’t there yet. I can only think of a wacon or huion connected to my linux laptop. However, this will result in very poor battery life.

And Logseq, too!

Thanks! That is good to know. I will check it out. I was thinking of creating one that allows you to BYOC. I need something that is free, cross platform, auto saves, and can keep offline copies. All for just basic note taking.
No way in hell I am going to pay a ton of money to store a bunch of text. I don’t even need any of the advanced functionality, not even images, just a dumping ground for text notes I take on my phone.
