Can I ask what your use-cases were for Evernote, and how well they all migrated to Obsidian?
When I think over my Evernote usage, for me it really boils down to three things:
1. Evergreen notes, like lists of books to read
2. Wiki-ish knowledgebase for work, like how do I get data from this server, or whatever
3. Digital shoebox: the place to throw old receipts, tax returns, contracts, whatever. Mostly throw it in and forget it, but useful for the 1% of time when I need to find something and it's magically there.
Numbers 1 and 2 could easily be moved to Obsidian, but I don't know if 3 would work.
- criddell 5y agoMy Evernote usage is a lot like yours. Ever since the Windows client switched to being a web app I've been planning on moving to something else but it's hard to find something that ticks all the boxes from me. I still use a web clipper because pages go away too often. I want image OCR because it's nice to search for something and have a snapshot of a whiteboard come up. I want a native client on iPad and Windows. I would prefer local storage if possible. Basically, I want Evernote from about 7 years ago.
