Startups operate by a different set of rules. > Honestly, the goal with a free account should be to convert users into paying users or by making the platform more useful for paying users of the service. At least with Emacs and org-mode, that's one less thing to deal with. Need to figure out if there's a way to sync/view it on my Android device, but I'm getting kind of tired of dealing with all the different, proprietary SaaS note taking services that go to shit after a few years. I'm giving org-mode a spin these days on my desktop. It's a real shame, too, because Evernote was an amazing app when it first came out. It's like they completely abandoned their core competency and went off in some left-field marketing direction. Things like Evernote branded Moleskine notepads and dress socks. The handwriting was on the wall when they started selling knick-knacks on their website. It might have also been due to the large number of people leaving their platform. It took several download attempts to successfully get my archive out of there. It didn't help that Evernote made it as difficult as possible to get your notes out of their system. The app was so bloated and buggy by that point that even OneNote seemed like a viable option. It was during this time frame that a lot of people jumped ship. Every release would be a slower, buggier version of its previous incarnation. This was core functionality that just didn't work.ĭuring this time, they were busy jamming in features I definitely didn't want or need.

Even after doing that, it would still have sync conflicts. I would get notes that would not sync correctly, forcing me to resolve it by hand. The previous issues were bad enough for me to drop Evernote as a paying customer.
