   This is the right approach. I exported my 25k Evernote notes to markdown (I'm using Emacs' Howm mode) and I use Codex CLI to ask questions about my notes. It is great and powerful!

   I've been using Delta Chat with a lot of success. It is easy, it works, bots are easy and the concept is improving. They even plan to have forward secrecy. So, give it a try. If you explored it a long time ago, try again, many things have improved in that ecosystem.

   With Delta Chat nowadays you can easily host your own federated and secure chat service. It is great.

   I do the same with Emacs and howm-mode. My system has improved a lot since I started using Claude Code. Now I implemented all the features I missed from Evernote!

   I came here to say exactly the same thing. Now the I have Claude Code and Codex CLI I just creat a folder with all the documents I need and I work from there.

   Now I'm using Emacs Howm for task management. It is based on text files and it is great. Org-mode is also great.

   I'm not a programmer, but I need to write python and bash programs to do my work. I also have a few websites and other personal projects. Claude Code helps me implement those little projects I've been wanting to do for a very long time, but I couldn't due to the lack of coding experience and time. Now I'm doing them. Also now I can improve my emacs environment, because I can create lisp functions with ease. For me, this is the perfect tool, because now I can do those little projects I couldn't do before, making my life easier.

   I see that nobody mentions Howm for Emacs. I find it more simple than Org-mode and its task sorting algorithm just works well for my brain. I really recommend it to those interested in a zettlekasten like note system with integrated tasks, all in text files.

   I agree. And Evernote has improved a lot since then.

    In Spain we have Bizum. You can send money to any phone number. It's instand and, as I understand, it works on top of SEPA.

    I like this proposition, but the article didn't mention health services in the area. I'm European and I don't fully understand the US health sector but I want to know what would happen in case of severe illness, living this way.

    This is precisely what you shouldn't do. This is what the "system" wants you to do, to work while you exercise, to work while you're with your family, ... What you should do is work the hours you have to and not one more, then you get up, take your bike and enjoy nature.

    I tried Perplexity a few times, but I cannot see the point. Are you using it? How is it better than other tools?
14. pqs Jul 23, 2024 parent

    Years to cope? I fully accepted it, as my father and my grand father. Fighting against nature seems pointless to me.

    You can still export your Evernote data as an enex file, even if you don't pay. Your comment is inaccurate.
16. pqs Jun 5, 2024 parent

    It does now.
17. pqs Jun 5, 2024 parent

    But the fact is that they are improving it!

    I think that in Spain, or any other country with a national ID card, this would be mucho more difficult. Police has fingerprints of everyone. In case someone says someone else is using his identity, the police just need to check the fingerprint with the national ID database.

    Well, I suggest you check the Evernote product lead's X account.

    https://x.com/fedesimio

    You'll see that they are working on many improvements, some of them are already in the app.

20. pqs Mar 20, 2024 parent

    As a matter of fact, Evernote still works and is improving fast.
21. pqs Mar 15, 2024 parent

    Recently, Evernote limited the free tier and increased pricing. This means that now the users pay for the product and this is very good. In fact, they added a lot of new features and improved performance.
22. pqs Mar 4, 2024 parent

    Evernote works well now. It has improved.
23. pqs Mar 4, 2024 parent

    TLDR: No.

    I didn't, and I'm happy I didn't. Evernote is improving since it was bought by Bending Spoons.

    This article seems written by AI. It has the same structure as post written by ChatGPT.
26. pqs Mar 4, 2024 parent

    I also use it, like you, because there is no good replacemt.

    However, I have to say that Evernote is improving since it was bought by Bending Spoons.

    I don't understand the general opinion of Hacker News, that it is dying. Evernote is in fact better now than one year ago.

    Maybe these US developers were not as good as the Italian ones. Well, I mean, they guys in charge of the team were not good.

    I don't know. But, now, Evernote is better.

    Recently I've been using more and more the web versions of Microsoft apps. This made me think that I'll be able to switch back to Linux soon, as now almost everything can be done in the browser.
28. pqs Dec 30, 2023 parent

    Hacker News has been declaring Evernote dead for a long time, but these Italian guys from Bending Spoons are improving the app notably. It now works better and I hope one day we will reach a performance comparable to the old app.

    I'm happy they introduced limitations in their free tier. As a paying user, I want my euros to be used to improve the app not to subsidy free riders.

29. pqs Dec 2, 2023 parent

    Yes, I do, and it works well.
