And about that time... I do, for example, I am doing paid consultations. An hour costs 80 EUR. And the client pays for i me, I prepare the documents and the consultation starts. And in Evernote, a couple of days ago, one of my important attachments was "crumbling and not reading" for 5 hours after the consultation... Some never back... And in the last 2 months it happened to me several times .. Even in the online account it was not. It was a direct screenshot to Evernote, so I didn't have a backup on my PC... Very unpleasant for the client... I waste his time.. Time is relative. I need instant reliability in a consultation. That's why I prefer to spend more time on Obsidian and its optimization in other working hours outside the consultation, because I know, that even if it crashes, I have everything available on my PC disk. Or in Dropbox, through which I synchronize Obsidian. Time is simply relative... For me is Evernote...and now Obsidian very important bussines tool My confidence in Evernote's reliability has dropped a lot in the last 2 months .. Maybe it will improve? I can't rely on maybe... Getting trust back is generally a problem, whether in relationships or software... This is just software, after all 😏

It's simple... I didn't have to come to any forum until 2020... For 8 years evernote worked effectively for me. I didn't need to cut the competition.. In 2023, I saw that legacy was not the future. I switched to v.10 and the forum became the place to solve problems.. And I wasn't alone. So suddenly you find out that maybe there are better alternatives... Why not use them? But this is not my fault as a user. It's Evernote's fault, the way the change to the new system was handled... If it had been smooth and without disrupting my efficiency, I would never have known about Obsidian..

I cant remmember... I switched from legacy in august 2023? Maybe september? Before this I 2 or 3 time from 2020 tested it.. My biggest problem is: ...slow and very bad search... Same problems eith search have my coleuges.. I switched the workflow in v10 to neasted tags for better clarity... but I still have a problem finding older notes... And a lot of my attachments are wrong when I dig back into it.. So no such thing as wait 10 days for the database to load... I work in parallel now in obsidian and in evernote. Evernote I have payed for another year... I wonder what will happen in a year. But there are too many of those obsidian evaluations. Obsidian solved everything from my table with bugs and wichlist that I sent to Evernote.. ..tabs, backups, links to content inside notes.. iframes, really fast search... really fast work.. own theme...and many small think for time saving work... Of course there are things that are better and more comfortable in Evernote. But I can live without them..

is really fine

But they differ... I added the plugin myself and I know what didn't work before and what works now. And if it doesn't work, I'll be one step back of it... I know where I might return and I know that it worked for me there too... Whereas with BS I don't know where I will be after the change... For this reason, I don't even use any theme. I use the default, which I adapted through my own CSS, which I can modify at any time to my liking and I don't have to wait for anyone to update the theme.

And one more thing about plugins. Obsidian is principally designed that way. All incrementally added functionality is built through plugins. If a plugin is suitable for the majority, it becomes an integral part of the installation itself, and at that moment you can see it as "settings" and the plugin should basically always be in Obsidian... that is, as long as Obsidian exits, this setting will also be there

for me the best: .... And there is still the basic image editing solution SNAGIT, which I also use... OPEN WITH - I forgot about this plugin, it's the top..

When I started with Evernote 12 years ago, I also had to spend a lot of time to find workflows and understand everything. This is true for any new system. But so far, no software has made as much of an impact on my workflow as changing Legacy to v.10. And it doesn't matter if I'm talking about Autocad, Thinderbird, Adobe products, Affinity products, Microsoft Office, Skechup, 3D softwares... Video editing softwares...Widnows, Android... it doesn't matter what I can think of, and there are a hell of a lot of those programs in the 25 years I've been using computers... So my patience has run out...

When I look at the list of my plugins now, it's really possible to work without them... I've highlighted in red the ones that would really annoy me if they didn't work... Without the others it would still work OK... But the best enhancement I have is my own CSS for the whole layout and formatting of the notes. It saves me an awful lot of time..

Obsidian - Initial release March 30, 2020; 4 years ago... Now more than 1600 official plugins... It's spreading like a virus... In my opinion, it hasn't even started properly... In 4 years, the community has been through a lot... What's gonna happen in another 4 years? It's not free... it'll be the same business as Worpdress... or like Evernote... I don't see why it should die before Evernote or why not. For one thing, I have almost always found several solutions and I picked the best one for you.... Even with worse plugins it would work better than Evernote does now in my workflow... Of course, some plugins can crash...Also some plugins crashed in the past in Thunderbird. But never has a plug-in breakup slowed me down in efficiency the way the transition from Legacy to v.10 slowed me down. I'm just a big fan of Evernote, but emotions aside... the reality is what it is... And I have 35 plugins in Obsidian, each one tweaking a little thing.. if 1-2 fall out, I really don't get mad... Same with Wordpress. I've been working with Wordpress for 10 years. Something fell out... but the system works great for me globally. You just have to use those plugins wisely and not build a session on them. But just see it as an improvement that can be changed if it doesn't go any further

It's not quite like Evernote, if you mean the notes previews next to the sidebar. I stopped using that in v10 because it takes up too much space on the desktop... But the Note Gallery plugin works very well for uploads with different filters and in different folders. It took me about 2 evenings to understand how to use the plugin and how to write the codes. There is a manual for it on his website and you can understand it from there. Of course, it's not as easy as Evernote, but once you understand it, it's fine and you can use it in a very different way. In fact, you can also set it to make a gallery of all notes and sort from the newest to the oldest, or you can limit it to the last 100 notes, for example, so that it doesn't "kill" the Obsidian calculation... I've also put together my own css additional settings for solving 1:1, 2:1 and so on... depending on what I want to display and how I want to display it. A little demonstration I hastily uploaded now on YouTube at my place, what I use it for: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3L3ycqD7-YY

Simply, it works like this: 1/ Click on the image 2/ its code appears on the image 3/ and then you need to use the Excalidraw command "Annotate image in Excalidraw" You can configure how you access the command differently. I preferably have a keyboard shortcut, but I've added it to my right-click as well. See images below. Then the Excalidraw plugin opens the image directly in Excalidraw in a new Tab and you edit what you need to there. The original image stays on disk, but in the note it will be replaced straight away with the Excalidraw drawing and set automatically (you need to set it in Excalidraw settings) the same width of the drawing as the original orb was. In order to preserve the readability of the texts from the screenshots. This was my main behavioral requirement.. Here are my settings for the Excalidraw plugin to make it work the way I want (my texts are in Slovak), but you can probably understand from the screenshots. (By the way it's shared from Obsidian...) https://share.note.sx/3r7k80g9#UwQ4h4wcJemXjfkhOFT5u1itvH/fx8je6Z2xHYmhoag Possibility 01 (with plugin Commander you add custom commnad) Possibility 02

I spent a lot of time on this spreadsheet at Evernote, I don't even remember exactly, but it's been more than 1,5 months since they took it over in Evernote.. you can see what's actually solved... https://www.evernote.com/shard/s36/sh/468827bb-c76d-c5bd-ddfb-43939eec55da/J32CLUxj4RO04QyhAwufC6ywh0VMCQGJnqU8GaPl7ObyybsJ-fmwAGQsyQ

Obsidian is simply a completely different world... I needed one very missing feature. Annotate image, which kept me in Evernote. I wrote to the developer of a great plugin (Excalidraw) to see if he could make the system work like Evernote's Annotate Image. The implementation of my request and the incorporation of the comments took about 8 days in total ! And it works beautifully. (It took 3 days for the basic implementation and another couple of days to communicate with him the necessary further details of the annotation behavior.. )

I basically agree completely with what you wrote... Obsidian was difficult to use and I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. But it was really worth it to persevere. At this point, after about 2 months, my mind is mainly occupied with how to move as many activities as possible from Evernote to Obsidian as efficiently as possible. It's such an incredibly scalable and adaptable system that anyone who hasn't tried it fully won't believe it. And in my work as an architect, where I need to have a lot of things visually, it has offered me so many extra things that I don't have a chance to solve in Evernote, and Blending Spoon has leaned into it a lot and the development is going forward. But I really don't want to wait for them to add what I need and what I'm missing after all these years... Here I can find a solution that suits me in a couple of days and with Evenot I may never get it. Migration is easy. Whenever I need something from my older notes in Evernote, I move what I need to Obsidian and in Evernote it gets the ARCHIVE tag (which means I don't have to edit it there next time...) From day to day I am in Evernote less and less time. And by the way, I would have no problem paying 300 EUR a year for Evernote if it worked like it did in the past. The main problem I've had since moving to v.10 is that it's slow and I can't search and filter things efficiently. Searching is just unreliable. And when instead of 3 seconds in Obsidian, I spend 20 minutes manually searching like a moron in Evernote for something that I also found in a few seconds before, the fault is probably not between the computer and the keyboard... Because I haven't changed the way I write notes and find them. But Evernote doesn't show those phrases in the search results...
