#42I've been an Evernote user for a long time, but it's been ages since I've felt that they're actually user-focused by way of improving holes like poor functional parity across their apps(1). As a outsider, a huge amount of energy felt squandered on a shotgun-strategy of special-purpose apps while a stream of core app rebuilds launched, none of which significantly moved the functional needle. I've been exploring altern…
I'm a happy DevonThink user (but not a super fanboy, so I won't lose sleep if you don't like it as much as I do). What did you think was archaic about its UI? It has several different layouts to choose from. Do you think they're all bad? I won't disagree, but maybe because I've been using it for so long I don't really notice it. Also, what does it do to the Evernote imports? I've never used that so I haven't seen that before.
That said, it's really good at filing and searching. I'd highly recommend trying it long enough to look past the UI to its capabilities. I'd hate to be without it now.

Personally I use Ulysses which has been great on desktop & mobile (supports code blocks, markup & more). However I'm not sure how I feel after they switched over to the whole subscription-model thing...anyone else have any success with similar alternatives?
I used Ulysses but I ended up moving to Bear[1]. It's still. a subscription fee, but much cheaper ($1.49/mo). It's lightweight and perfect for what I use it for - taking notes.
If I was going to suggest something for longer-form writings (e.g., journaling, blog posts) and you find that inadequate, I've heard good things about iA Writer[2].

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Let this be a lesson against relying on proprietary walled gardens.
Open source companies could run on a blockchain and one could have a smart contract to release the source code or access to one's proprietary data upon company going out of business..
Do you even know what going out of business means?
Hint: It's not cut and dry. The Amiga company is still in business. Radio Shack still exists. MySpace isn't dead. GeoCities got killed, it didn't go out of business.
Smart contracts won't help you here. Blockchains won't help you here. This is a complex legal problem and you're suggesting it's easy, that the Magic of Blockchains will solve it.
Whatever man.

#46Has anybody tried Joplin?
https://github.com/laurent22/joplin
On paper, their feature set looks great, with various synchronisation options (Dropbox, WebDAV, OneDrive) and apps on Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS.

They could just as easy use a flux compensator to mangle with the time continuum and use the Bermuda triangle as a energy source for their servers.
This wouldn't work. Flux compensator blocksize capacity can't support the throughput of a mangle tangle even with Merkle pruning. That's assuming that the Bermuda triangle would even come close to providing enough energy for your servers.
The Mister Fusion company made a Mister Blockchain companion product and it solves all those problems.

#49I am so on the fence about Evernote. I have used their product for years, but found that they didn't lean into the whole "organizing a zillion things" well enough. I really wanted a replacement for my Franklin Planner that went out in the early 2000's with a fizzle.
Chris if you're reading this email me (contact in the profile) would be happy to share my thoughts on next steps.

#50Any self hosted alternative to Evernote? Never used Evernote, but sounds nice.
Joplin is a good open source alternative. You can sync it to a self hosted backend like Nextcloud though.
