Don't understand how they made it this long.

I switched to Joplin a few years ago from Evernote and haven't looked back. Take control of your own notes - Joplin is open source and has clients for every platform, and imports notebooks from Evernote.

I forgot Evernote was still a thing. Used it for a short while back in 2012 when there were not many decent note taking apps.

Years ago I was a paid Evernote user. The app kept displaying ads on startup trying to get me to pay even more for the “higher tier”. Right then and there I knew the company was dead.

There is a recent thread discussing Evernote alternatives at https://beehaw.org/post/986939

Personally I exported my notes from Evernote, imported them to Joplin, and setup Syncthing to handle synchronization of note content between my devices. Not exactly a trivial setup but not difficult either. Also fully open source and much more secure.

I mean… haven’t they been surviving purely on inertia for a while already?

And that is why I self-host as much as I can

Once Apple overhauled Notes a few years ago AND offered a way to import from Evernote, I never looked back. For anyone in Apple’s ecosystem Notes is one of the best (and completely free or cheap on any iCloud+ plan).

I gave my resume to Bending Spoons and they didn’t hire me, so fuck them And fuck them for the layoffs, they have people working from home so relocating seems like an excuse

Holy shit someone tell danny brown to save his raps

I didn't even know Evernote was still a think. I thought it had died years ago

Surprised they still had all that programmers for something that's still stuck in the year 2014

I hadn't heard about Evernote in years. Honestly thought they'd gone under years ago.

Everyone here are so cool with fancy open source alterantives. I've been basic and been using Notion for all my med school notes and beyond and while it's been mostly great the few episodes of outages have been so frustrating. Wish there were some easy to use solutions with all the text formatting options Notion has.

I finally bailed on it this year.

I have this suspicion that it might survive even this though, it's been through so much over the years

Man, I saw something about the other day and it doesn’t make me feel good about still having some work notes in Evernote. I’m going to have to find an alternative, but I need collaboration and low cost (cuz my company is cheap AF). And I know those two things don’t usually go together.

Anyone know a good alternative for storing PDFs with preview and search?

significant boost in operational efficiency that will come as a consequence of centralizing operations in Europe.

On one hand, this is understandable. My employer recently went through similar learnings and dealt with this equally.

But if the whole know-how of the code and platform needs to be shifted over, this is an awful lot of risk and problems. Maybe they already did the transition. Who knows.

I don't think they intend to shutdown the service, but I wouldn't be surprised if the service gets more and more unstable, progresses slower than before and thereby slowly dies off with the competitors speeding ahead.
