I’ve never understood why anyone uses Evernote. Just use a folder with Markdown files. Or Obsidian. Or VS Code with plugins. Or EMacs org mode. So many good FOSS options out there (yes, I know VS Code isn’t FOSS but VSCodium is) that don’t lock you in. Hypocritical of me to say as an Apple user, but I hate when companies’ business models are to lock in consumers. Just make a better product that’s worth paying for.

Obsidian is awesome. It won't meet everyone's needs, but I love the lightweight simplicity of it. But it's also extremely extensible with add-ons if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

100% agree. I personally haven’t got a use case that fits very well with it (maybe someday when I build a Zettelkasten), but I can see why the community loves it so much. Open source and a great library of plugins.

Edit: Turns out it isn’t open source and their terrible misunderstanding of open source doesn’t help.

Except that it isn't open source

[–] catastrophicblues@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Huh, I stand corrected. I’ll update my comment.

If your going to use Zettelkasten you might look into Zettlr. Plus, it's open source! 😀
