![]() I just don’t find it to be as robust at storing screen shots, photos, quick sketches, – there’s no email in to Obsidian etc. I’ve tried all of those and they just don’t jive with my way of thinking, with the exception of maybe Obsidian for my personal thoughts. I can hear everyone yelling right now - “Devonthink!”. None of the solutions were as quick or as elegant (in my opinion), and so I would begin the journey (or is it annual cycle?) of trying new apps. Email myself a link for later? Put it into Apple Notes on the web?”. Wanting to save it for later I’d think “I’ll just clip this to Evernote – oh yeah, I’m not using it right now, uhhh…save webpage to PDF? I guess. ![]() I’d be at work on my Windows PC and during a break I’d look up a place to stay on a summer vacation. In the time I was away from Evernote though, I just couldn’t get my workflow running as efficiently as I had once had it under the protection of the elephant. Anyway, v10 marks one of those times where I left the app. I realize that’s basically what it is now, but they’ve improved the look and feel a lot. It was also quite obviously just displaying a webpage within a Mac/Windows pane which I didn’t love. For me personally, the early issues in v10 were slow performance and the inability to drag notes to tags and/or notebooks. They definitely decided one day that it was time to flip the switch and it wasn’t ready not by a long shot. I won’t deny their transition to v10 was premature. Depending on the time of year or my mood I’ll think it’s too costly or I’ll ask myself I really NEED it when I can save files to my Mac and jot notes in Apple Notes or Obsidian or Craft or - whatever. I’ve gone back and forth a few times on Evernote. It’s situated with a lot of apps I still use (Tweetbot, Pocket) and a few I don’t or aren’t with us anymore (Flickr, Mailbox). While I couldn’t tell you my exact sign-up date (I’ve had a couple different accounts), I found a screenshot on my iPhone this morning from November 2013 and I’ll be darned if that big elephant isn’t there front and centre.
