Anyone using this as an Evernote replacement?

I use Evernote since what, 2005, 2008? Yet I hate every time I start it up. Such ugly bloatware it has become. And the silly “AI powered” features tacked on when it became fashionable… Man, replacing it would feel so good.

I replaced Evernote with Joplin about 5ish years ago. It was super easy in my case, so maybe it's worth checking into. I haven't used the desktop app recently, but it was always snappier than evernote at the very least.

I use Obsidian for note-taking and personal knowledge management. I haven't used "save for later" bookmarklets or apps since I quit using Evernote many years ago, though.

- Pocket for bookmarking. - Onenote for longer form less structured note taking on copied/linked base material or needing exposition (somewhat reluctantly). Occasionally Word. - Anything/Jetbrains : Markdown for short form or dev docsor with intuitively clear sub-structure or heirarchy. (Pseudo)Code and comments for simple codable ideas, python-like. - Scapple for mind-mapping high level concepts, collections of related ideas or things, associations rather than hierarchies

If people are interested it was featured hear on HN a day or two ago but Obsidian released an extension called Obsidian Clipper that can save webpages in markdown format. https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-clipper

I tried hoarder and I didn't like the way listed view works. I prefer the simplicity of the view provided by Linkding. I find hoarder new auto tagging with ollama something I want to use because I am lazy.

For references there are many options in selfhosted bookmarking apps market. These beside Hoarder are the most known software.

Linkwarden (https://github.com/linkwarden/linkwarden)

Shaarli (https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli)

LinkAce (https://www.linkace.org/)

Linkding (https://github.com/sissbruecker/linkding)

I've one I built called Cras. Store all my neat things I find on the web there. Recently turned it into a PWA so it's a share-target on my phone (Android) which is awesome.

It's self-hosted and all packed into SQLite so, IMO, very portable.

Recently added a trick to snapshot all the public links I save - my copy and on Archive.is - link rot is real.
