I had been thinking I'd like to quit #Evernote for some time, and Evernote finally pushed me to make the leap by suddenly trying to extort more money from me for the same service. I installed #Joplin (open source!), exported my Evernote notes, imported them into Joplin, cancelled my Evernote plan, and deleted everything. Coincidentally, my Amazon Prime account expired a few days ago. These days, evil corporations make it easier to quit them by being completely crass about their money grubbing. (And when I say "money grubbing" I include trying to make money off your private data by selling it to LLMs or anyone else.)

This is how I keep track of important contacts in Evernote.

Not all my contacts as that would be a full-time job, but just the folk who I need to know about like clients, doctor dentist etc.

I've included the template I use as a free download.

Of course, if you do have long-time plans for your personal #knowledgemanagement, you should not use proprietary tools like #Obsidian, #OneNote, #Evernote and alike.

You also should think of switching to a much better (learnability, portability/compatibility, typobility, logic, featureset) markup syntax like #orgdown which is used in #Emacs #Orgmode (among other tools).

But if you start with Org-mode, you need to know the right way of doing it, as so many web pages recommend. Here's my take:

A specific blog post about the #lockin effects of Obsidian and Co (despite using some tool-specific flavor of MD) is in the making. (Please don't start a religious discussion here.)

If you're using #Microsoft #OneNote, you will face disadvantages when you don't switch to #Windows11 soon:

You are forced to "One Note on Windows" which requires a #Microsoft365 account. If you want to keep your previous computer/OS, your synchronization speed gets reduced just to punish your disobedience: windowslatest.com/2025/03/24/m

For anything that requires a certain amount of privacy/security, for anything long-term (avoiding #lockin effects), OneNote was a bad idea in the first place.

People who started with the original OneNote already faced data loss when MS forced them into the then mediocre cloud version in 2018: karl-voit.at/2018/04/21/end-of

My recommendation: re-evaluate your requirements and switch to a much better long-term alternative, such as #Emacs #Orgmode & not yet another hip lock-in monster like #Obsidian, #Evernote or other closed source #cloud solutions: karl-voit.at/2021/01/18/tool-c

Windows Latest · Microsoft will intentionally slow OneNote for Windows 10, so you ditch it fasterMicrosoft has confirmed that it's killing off "OneNote for Windows 10," but it also plans to force the legacy app's sync to run slower.

¿Alguien sabe cómo exportar las notas de #Evernote? Hará más de diez años que no lo uso, pero estoy haciendo limpieza de cuentas y al entrar he encontrado mis antiguas libretas. Veo que se pueden pasar a #Obsidian y a #Joplin, pero no encuentro la forma de descargarlas.

EDITADO: hay que instalarse el cliente de escritorio para poder exportar tus datos, no se ofrece la posibilidad mediante web.

„Goodbye, #Komoot? German app sold to Bending Spoons“

There are apps that make a difference: For people who like to spend time outdoors, Komoot from Potsdam, Germany has always been a good option. Now the future may be unclear as the app is apparently being sold to Italy-based Bending Spoons, who have already bought #WeTransfer and #Evernote.
