Why Evernote Failed to Realize Its Potential

1

Notesnook

Shameless plug but for the past 2 years we have slowly been working to replace Evernote with Notesnook [1]. Sounds weird to say "replace Evernote" when Evernote is absolute shit (no offense) but one of the main reasons we went this route is because Evernote did one thing right: It made personal note taking approachable & actually fun. Nowadays, a lot of the modern note taking apps (Notion, Slite etc.) are focused on the "enterprise user" i.e. They prioritize business focused note taking with features like collaborations, integrations etc. Private & personal note taking is no longer the hype which, in my opinion, is really sad. I might be mistaken in my viewpoint however, of later I have noticed a huge trend toward providing user experiences that target a team workflow. Personal workflows are an afterthought, at best. For some tools this works out but for note taking apps I think it creates a huge void. Not everyone wants a thousands ways to integrate, publish whole websites, buy & sell, and create presentations using their notes app. [1] https://notesnook.com/.

Joplin

I paid for Evernote when it had the silver/mid tier, and it was about $35/yr. Then they got rid of that tier, and now it's $80/yr. For Personal. So I switched over to Joplin[1]. -- [1] https://joplinapp.org/.
