I am 100% agreed on this. I have used Evernote for many years and really hate the curse of commercial software that forces them to constantly fiddle and break things that their customers have come to rely on. Nevertheless, despite not loving it, I touch Evernote multiple times per hour almost every hour throughout my work day. I need a mobile app and quick sync between different apps, and that will be hard for an open-source effort or a one-person startup to achieve. I wonder if an open-source app could be built on top of a paid commercial sync service; I would gladly pay for that.
- armoredkitten 5y agoI switched from Evernote to Joplin a year or two ago, and it has been a great experience. Joplin is much more markdown-centric, so it doesn't fully replace all of Evernote's features, but it does have good support for multiple organizational schemes, including notebooks (i.e., folders) and tags, which I appreciate. They have both mobile and desktop apps, and even a CLI. And it's built to sync over any number of cloud services, including Dropbox, Google Drive, or Nextcloud. Anyway, I recommend checking it out to see if it meets your use case. It's been a while, but I believe it has the ability to import from Evernote, or at least read from whatever export format Evernote provides, something like that.
- stavros 5y agoI use Joplin too and love it. I even made an exporter for it so I can export my notes to a website, and deployed them to notes.stavros.io.
