Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.

If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

I also like that Joplin stores copies locally. If I lose internet, I still have it on my phone.

I used Joplin for a while but found that it was a bit too clunky. Also, yes it does store the notes locally, but they weren’t in a plain text format. My notes were fragmented across different files.

I switched to Obsidian after that and will never switch back. Yes, people make Obsidian complicated, but it’s honestly only as complex as you make it.

For me, all it does is text and sync. All the files are stored locally in complete markdown format. That way I can read them in any program that can process text. My personal workspace syncs to an S3 compatible service, while work synced to Google Drive.

I loved Joplin and felt so conflicted when I found Obsidian. But now I would recommend it over Joplin any day.

Fair. The reason why Joplin does it that way is because it holds your note history locally too. If you accidentally delete something you can go back and look at past saves. Pretty convenient but at the cost of not having single file .md notes.
