#Evernote are doubling their price again for the fourth time in 5 years and it's time for us as a family to at least create a backup of our decades-old family records so we are ready when they cease to be viable.

Do I know anyone who would be willing to set up a self-hosted replacement system and export out 5000+ notes and 17000 attachments please? Happy to pay.

Not looking for general advice. Please reply via DM or e-mail!. Thanks!

@iannock Apologies I should have given you the link. I quit EverNote many years ago and opted for Joplin. I tried Obsidian but it just didn't feel right.

Десять с лишним лет теряю заметки

Недавно мне понадобилась старая заметка. Я точно помнил, что записывал её: там былы креды от сервиса (да, знаю надо хранить все в пароехарилках, но я записал как записал). Не помнил я только, где именно это записал( В Notepad++? В Obsidian? В сообщении самому себе? В папке проекта? Минут двадцать я перебирал места, и к концу уже не столько искал заметку, сколько пытался воскресить в памяти тот день что бы понять ход собственных мыслей Нашлась она в OneNote. В том самом OneNote, про который я уже и забы, что он у меня вообще есть и более того хранить что то ценное. Вот тогда до меня и дошла обидная вещь: за десять с лишним лет я неплохо научился записывать информацию и довольно плохо получать её обратно. Мест для записи у меня было столько, что одно из них выпало из моей собственной памяти.

Is it just me or has #Evernote gotten worse since introducing the AI components? I’m transcribing my own paper notes and the autocorrect keeps putting in words that don’t make sense even when compared to the weird shit #DamnYouAutocorrect has always done.

Surely the obvious correction for ‘fahter’ is ‘father’, not ‘latest’, right?

It might also be my iPad keyboard, but I’ve been using this iPad for about five years.

Still chipping away at my note-taking migration from Evernote to Obsidian

More than six months into the biggest switch of productivity apps I’ve undertaken since I stopped using Microsoft Word for everyday writing, I’m relieved to report that moving to a new note-taking app has so far involved much less drama than I expected. Or deserved, considering I staged this cutover right before my busiest workweek of the year.

But my transition from Evernote to Obsidian–spurred by Evernote’s owners at the Italian firm Bending Spoons sticking me with a 92 percent rate increase that was going to land two days before the start of CES–isn’t complete either. Here’s how things have come along to date:

• Import: I had a choice of note-taking apps that could import notes from the app I’d used regularly since 2010 (Microsoft’s OneNote not among them, ruling it out even though I already pay for it with my Microsoft 365 subscription). The biggest hassle with migrating some 15 years worth of notes turned out to be on Evernote’s end–its cap of 100 notes per export. Obsidian imported every batch without complaint but not without formatting glitches that I could not have avoided in an app based on the Markdown formatting system. And then I only realized Thursday morning that I had somehow failed to bring over about two years of notes from one notebook; about 10 minutes later, I had remedied that oversight.
• Filename games: Obsidian’s implementation of the text format that Apple developer and blogger John Gruber released in 2004 (see Anil Dash’s recap of Markdown’s unlikely ascent) saves notes as individual files with names derived from their titles. But since characters like a colon and a slash are illegal filename bits in many of the operating systems Obsidian supports, this clashed with my habit of including dates in mm/dd/yyyy format in the titles of notes from specific events. Obsidian usually took out the slashes, leaving it to me to insert dashes in their place to restore sense to smushed-together date-digit strings like “6122018,” but in a few cases the Mac app gave up and renamed a note “Untitled.”
• Mastering Markdown: I feel like I’ve had to reprogram part of my brain to deal with Markdown’s note-title restrictions, but this is nowhere near the first time I’ve done something like that for the sake of note-taking efficiency (for example, the way I hand-write a capital G remains influenced by Palm OS Graffiti). Markdown also uses a syntax of markup characters to format strings of text, which Obsidian hides in practice with the usual keyboard shortcuts and formatting buttons… except when I edit, select or tap inside a word that’s already been formatted, which surfaces the hidden markup characters around it. I find these compromises a reasonable price for the long-term reward of using a lock-in-resistant format that nobody owns and which any text-editing app can read.
• Writing: Note-taking has always been a text-first experience for me, going back to Palm handheld organizers, and Obsidian has proved pleasantly efficient in that while delivering two unexpected advances over Evernote. One is a tiny bit of input acceleration: When I type a quotation mark or parenthesis, Obsidian automatically adds the closing character in front of the cursor. The other is a feature that’s mandatory in word processors but uncommon in note apps: a word count you can have displayed in the bottom right corner, and which responds to your selection of a block of text by showing the words and characters in that selection.
• Syncing: The part of Evernote I was most reluctant to leave behind was the synchronization that Bending Spoons had immensely improved, to the point where I accepted a steep rate hike at the end of 2023. Obsidian doesn’t match Evernote’s near-real-time sync, which let me see characters I’d typed on one device appear an instant later in another device’s copy of Evernote. But Obsidian’s optional sync service, $48 a year, is damn fast on its own, generally getting edits from device to device in under five seconds. And because every note is a text file, I can get a note from my phone to my laptop even when both are offline: plug the phone into the laptop via USB, open Obsidian’s folder on the phone in Windows Explorer, and open the file in any text-editing app.
• Security: Obsidian Sync features end-to-end encryption between devices by default, a security feature I have come to appreciate more after seeing how the Trump administration is willing to treat certain journalists. The tradeoff of that approach and its device-to-device architecture is not having any Web app for Obsidian–but since I almost never used Evernote’s Web app, I can live with that.
• Plug-ins: Obsidian’s resolutely indie developers tout the ability to extend and augment the app with some of the 5,500-plus plug-ins available. I’m not entirely sold on this tinkering-required approach, since some of these–in particular, the Importer plug-in maintained by Obsidian’s own developers–provide capabilities so essential that they shouldn’t require in-app downloading. In other cases, there are so many plug-ins for a specific task that I’ve postponed picking one. That said, I will put in a plug for the free Notebook Navigator, which lets you switch between notes and folders in a simple tree-style interface like the one I got used to in Evernote.
• Incomplete items: After succumbing to paralysis via analysis when looking at all of the different audio-transcription options, I opted to outsource that task to a third-party app–the Google Recorder app on my Pixel 9 Pro, which does its AI transcription offline. But I have yet to find any plug-in that can match Evernote’s ability to scan and digitize business cards for easy access to people’s contact details. That is why the desk in front of this keyboard now features a stack of recently-collected business cards two inches tall, held together with an elastic band until I can find some other way to save the useful bits from them in a searchable way. Any suggestions?

Ich nutze #Evernote seit 2008 oder so, und organisiere damit praktisch mein Leben.Was dort nicht steht (also z.B., wo ich ein physisches Item hinsortiert habe), finde ich nicht wieder.
Die Struktur war einfach - Notizen, Notebooks, Tags - und hat super für mich funktioniert. Ich brauche keinen Schnickschnack.
Dann wurde Evernote verkauft und die #Notion-isierung setze ein. Ein Feature nach dem anderen - dafür läuft es nicht mehr so smooth wie vorher. Ich hätte das echt nicht gebraucht.
Und ihr?

Ob die Lack gesoffen haben? Ja!
Nein! Ich weiß nicht wie viel! Muss aber eine Waggon-Ladung gewesen sein.

Evernote informierte das Unternehmen, in dem ich arbeite, dass unser Plan transferiert wird. Wir zahlen im Jahr für den einen Account aktuell ~140€.
Das entspricht einer Multiplikation von fast dem 128-fachen.
Ja, das ist auch nach dem Login auf deren Seite unter
accounts.evernote.com/settings…
so zu finden. Hat noch irgendwer solche Infos bekommen?

THE SECRET IN THE SILVER WRAPPER

CHAPTER TWO

Moira gently took the silver foil from the black cat’s paws. Toe gave a soft purr and jumped up to his dark shelf. Moira put the small piece of shiny paper on her heavy wooden counter and turned on her desk lamp to see it better.

It was torn. On one side, she could see a tiny piece of a picture—a green leaf. She lifted the foil to her nose and breathed in. Under the smell of alley dirt, there was a very strong smell of mint. It was not the real, fresh mint she used in her tea. This was the sharp, fake smell from the cafe.

“A sweet coat,” she read again from the open pages of The Days of the Dreams.

She looked at Ashwaganda. The big orange cat was asleep in his chair, trusting her to keep them safe. But Moira knew the village was not safe right now. Someone in Speranza had used a clever trick to kill a man.

The next morning, the sky was gray. The wind blew cold air through the narrow stone streets. Moira locked the thick door of her tea shop. She walked straight to the alley behind Anna’s Coffee Taverna.

Yellow police tape blocked the back door. Ispettore Salomone stood against the old brick wall, holding a cheap cigarette. He looked like he had not slept at all.

“Moira,” he said, shaking his head. “Go back to your tea. This is police work.”

“I am just taking a walk, Ispettore,” Moira said in a calm, soft voice. “What did the doctor find out about the poison?”

Salomone sighed. He knew Moira used to work in medicine. “Cyanide. Fast and very deadly. But it was not in Anna’s coffee machine.”

“It was in the sugar,” Moira said.

Salomone looked surprised. “How do you know that?”

“Because the man only took one sip,” Moira explained. She kept her secret about the magic book safe. “If the poison was in the whole cup, he might have smelled the bitter almonds before he drank it. But if it was in a small sugar packet, dumped in right before the first sip… the fake mint smell would hide the poison.”

Salomone dropped his cigarette and stepped on it. “You are too smart, Moira. We found an empty sugar packet on the floor near his table. It was not from Anna’s cafe. It was shiny silver.”

Moira’s heart beat faster. It was exactly like the silver foil Toe had found.

“Thank you, Ispettore,” Moira said.

She turned and walked away quickly. She did not go back to La Pagina che Fa le Fusa. Instead, she walked across the square to the Mint Chocolate Treasure House.

Marisa’s shop was bright, white, and perfectly clean. Marisa stood behind the glass counter in her neat white coat. She smiled when Moira walked in, but her eyes looked worried and tight.

“Moira,” Marisa said. “Can I help you? Do you need chocolate today?”

Moira put her hand in her pocket and held the torn silver foil. She looked right at her friend.

“I need to ask you about the man who died, Marisa,” Moira said slowly. “And I need to know why the poison was hidden in a silver wrapper with a green leaf on it.”

Marisa stopped smiling. The quiet peace of the village was truly gone, and the dark game had started.

Something to read with your coffee/tea this morning?

Though my pain is far less than the team and enterprise users affected by the price increase. They are being hit *hard*.
