Rest in peace, Grandpa. 1928 - 2026

I really liked evernote. Worked seamlessly cross-platform, easy sync, good editor, great search function, cross-link/reference notes, support of multiple file types within each note (could add a picture, PDF, excel doc, etc). They kept adding way too many features that I never used (including an AI assistant for seemingly no reason), but I was happy to pay to pay ~$10/mo for the service. But then they went and increased the price to $250/yr (pretty much double), and automatically enrolled me in the new higher price?? That pushed me to finally move everything over to Obsidian + Syncthing. Took me a few hours and a couple back and forths to get it right (first internal note links and then image links had to be fixed), but with the help of Deepseek, the Obsidian vault looks pretty much the same as evernote did and sync across devices seems to be working. So for < $5 in credits I moved my last 10 years of notes and have a note-taking app that's free instead of $250/yr. Good deal. Thank you open source software🙏🏼
