Good video. Leaving evernote because the webapp was down while I was supposed to be prepping for a meeting

Good valuable video Matt, I'm a heavy Evernote user and the main reasons is for research, information capture and productivity hubs need. I tried Obsdian for my thinking developement tool but my principal problem is there's no web interface acces, yes there sync service is cool but it not enough for my need.

For now I live between Evernote and RemNote

Keep your good work

I actually used Evernote until I really needed it while I was hospitalized and couldn't access or download some attachments. Support responded but eventually advised to use another device (PC) to open the attachments which was impossible because I was hospitalized. A 100% no no Evernote failed when I really needed it.
So I switched to Obsidian, big advantage, works offline (files are stored locally) and all files (text/jpg/pdf/word/Excel) can be opened with another local installed app. For backup I sync with Google drive. So no Evernote for my anymore, failed when I really needed it!

I'm not a content creator who want to make money, I'm just interested to look for note taking app videos and find the right one for me :)

Speed of loading the app is irrelevant in my opinion. You're going to have the app loaded all the time anyway. Also, graph view is just a pretty picture. I don't know what you would actually use it *for*. Also Evernote free edition allows syncing between between two devices, but obsidian free doesn't.

I've tried a lot of note taking apps in the past. I'm actually considering going back to Evernote from Obsidian.

Good video but comparing Obsidian to Evernote is like comparing a bank vault to an ATM machine. They serve different functions. A better comparison would be Obsidian vs. Roam, and Evernote vs. Notion, etc.

Evernote sicks so much now, I don't think anyone should use it in 2022, plus the mobile version is extremely slow. The people at least the ones I have seen who swear by evernote never actually review their notes. Use anything else like Obsidian, remnote, notion(A bit slow), roam logseq that has better features and facilitate better notetaking practices.

[MobileExperienceChris]

Saying that the Obsidian mobile app loads quicker than Evernotes mobile app is not telling the whole story. Obsidian mobile app is just about as basic as you can get. Of course it's faster, if all you need is just plain text. Most people however, need their mobile app to have more advanced features than just plain text and nothing else.

comparing evertone and obsidian is like comparing windows movie maker with adobe premiere lol

Evernote. Despite the stupid new owner.
