I noticed that privately and professionally as a coder I am steadily piling up more and more note taking apps in search for the perfect one. Here's a thread 🧵

Evernote evernote.com/ --> I've used this one for ages and back then there weren't many similar apps available. Good for mixed notes with pictures and other files mixed in and syncing to other devices. I've stopped using it since it is just too heavy and slow and I often get sync conflicts. Not sure if the issue is in front of the display though 🙈
Now I have to migrate my notes somewhere (or just delete most of it 👺)

@superFelix5000 One good thing about local non-cloud apps is you can just run the old version (almost) forever if you don't like what they have done to it. Evernote does not apply there unfortunately.

@mike805 yup, gravitating towards non-cloud apps where the user is in control (with some sort of sync option ;) )

@superFelix5000 so what works that way for notes? My samsung came with a notes app and I used it. Got a pixel, no notes app, now back to writing things down and emailing text messages to myself. So it would be nice to find one.

@mike805 Looking into obsidian.md/ at the moment, have heard lots of good things about it. Nice plugin ecosystem 👍 - you don't have to sync your files (which are basic text files) but you can, either using their solution or your own.
