I switched to Joplin a few years ago from Evernote and haven't looked back. Take control of your own notes - Joplin is open source and has clients for every platform, and imports notebooks from Evernote.

It also has a web clipper, which imo is a very handy feature.

And that is why I self-host as much as I can

What's a good self hosted thinking like Evernote?

For note taking, you might even get by without self-hosting, looking at software like Obsidian which works perfectly fine with just SyncThing to sync between devices, or just literally any other file syncing solution, self-hosted or otherwise.

I forgot Evernote was still a thing. Used it for a short while back in 2012 when there were not many decent note taking apps.

After leaving Evernote way back when I was in the wilderness for a while. Finally landed on notesnook, haven't gone back since.

I liked it at first, but it keeps expiring my sessions on mobile and sometimes on desktop. I don't want to login again every other week. So I'll probably ditch it again and get back to Joplin.

significant boost in operational efficiency that will come as a consequence of centralizing operations in Europe.

On one hand, this is understandable. My employer recently went through similar learnings and dealt with this equally.

But if the whole know-how of the code and platform needs to be shifted over, this is an awful lot of risk and problems. Maybe they already did the transition. Who knows.

I don't think they intend to shutdown the service, but I wouldn't be surprised if the service gets more and more unstable, progresses slower than before and thereby slowly dies off with the competitors speeding ahead.
