Canceled Evernote a month ago. To many bugs. Using VIM at this point. Honestly thinking of going back to a notebook. Only issue is I cannot read my own handwriting sometimes ;)
- read_if_gay_ 6y agoLook into vimwiki.
- rymurr 6y ago2nd that. I keep coming back to vimwiki after forays into other tools. It isn't perfect but its reliable and I can find my notes when I need them
- dmortin 6y agoA knowledgebase is for storing thousands of notes and quickly retrieve them when needed. Searching dozens of notebooks for the relevant info is not scalable.
- flo123456 6y agoWith plain text formats such as Markdown search is just one grep away. Using ripgrep it’s also quite fast.
- randomchars 6y agoI think parent was referring to this: > Honestly thinking of going back to a notebook
- dmortin 6y agoYes.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoUsed Evernote for a while, not even paid, but it doesn't offer anything (for me personally) that a flat folder with text or markdown files wouldn't cover. Then looking at the downside, I don't own the data and if Evernote decides they've had enough, all my stuff could be lost. Tried doing plain files again (via Notable because people said so, but that also doesn't really offer anything an editor with markdown support (cmd + click to open other file) doesn't offer itself), but by then I didn't really need to keep notes anymore (I passed beyond the "research" phase of my current project).
