![]() ![]() I was on legacy EN for a couple of years, and it became clear that EN was on a path that I wasn't interested in, so I switched to Joplin, knowing full well that it is electron-based, but for whatever reason(s), much better implemented. Ever since they went to electron-based, the user community has been in an uproar, with many staying on 'legacy' - in fact, staying on legacy Evernote wasn't an option at first, but the uproar forced mgmt to offer the last release pre-electron as a 'legacy' download. Somehow they really botched it the largest complaint was about how slow it was - people blamed it on electron, but clearly lots of responsive apps, including Joplin, VS Code, etc, are electron-based. So let's hope they're not going to be all too disappointed when they hear that Joplin is based on Electron, too They really should have gone public then! Per Bard, estimates are that Bending Spoon paid between $200-$300mm for EN. I believe at its peak, it was valued at over $5Bn. ![]() I'm old enough to remember, when Evernote was a 'unicorn', a startup valued at over $1Bn. I suspect their market share will continue to decline, and reach single digits. Will be interesting to see how things evolve for them. So we could see a significant influx of Evernote users giving Joplin at least a trial run as they evaluate various alternatives.īack in its day, Evernote was the great white shark in a tiny ocean, but now there is so much competition, from Apple Reminders/Notes to Notion and everything in between, while Evernote has arguably regressed (many users are still clinging to the pre-electron 'legacy' version that is several years old at this point, because they hate the electron version). I guess Bending Spoons will see what the upgrade ratio looks like, and then potentially role out this restriction to all Free tier users. Which means any of these users using EN as a daily note taking app has to be on, or move to, a paid tier, or switch to a different note app. In what looks like an a/b test, some Free tier users are being limited to 50 notes, and if they are already over 50 notes, they cannot create any new notes. Apparently Evernote, which was recently acquired by an Italian mobile app developer, Bending Spoons, is placing an even greater squeeze on the Free tier. ![]()
