Separate plugins maintained by independent developers are the way to ensure that the solution is gonna stay free for longer

yeah, Joplin offers nested tags via its plugins. Evernote couldn't implement the hierarchical tags for centuries.. 🤥 That's the way they are ""working their butts off"", pardon my French. Seem to be having only marketing folks working hard. But the way they did targeting makes me believe that "marketing folks" have no relation to marketing, and in fact are their only employees

Well, Webclipper extension seems a bit thicker than that, but anyway thanks for letting us know that IT support never attends the forum to read about users concerns 😄 sorry for being here an assh*le lately, just couldn't resist the temptation, given the backstory

Well, this is what I do when I wanna bookmark. lets say, a Chrome extension to watch it. Because by some reason Evernote refuses to bookmark anything from Chrome webstore. So I have to do it manually by literally copying-pasting the URL. Though, frankly speaking, that seems a bit stupid. Automation is all about making things easier for people, not about encouraging them to engage in manual copying 😆 in fact, since all of us here seem to be somewhat advanced in terms of IT knowledge and coding, you would probably agree that my request implies only minor code changes. Because it's not about writing code up, it's rather about removing some lines from existing code and putting some checks to ensure that no extra data will be loaded 🤣 Otherwise, we wouldn't want to disturb you from your lazy idleness. But your aggressive marketing campaign launched lately makes us believe you are losing the ground....

My view is that Evernote does marketing the wrong way. You should target differently, folks. Some home office companies, SME etc use Evernote for synchronization their work between different employees. You can probably identify those by the number of sync requests, sharing requests and by IPs. But you seem to have chosen the way of carpet bombings 😆

Well, yeah, it's been on the news lately with the Russian IT community buzzing too 😀 Check the neighbouring threads to make sure that you aint gone insane, and people are having the same unexpected issue too

Well, thanks for telling me what I already know 😄 All I meant to say is that Evernote can spare some cloud space by offering a different options set

Joplin does it differently though.. see attached

Well, thanks for raising that. In the dialogue window that you've attached I would normally go for "Bookmark" option. Should I do it different then?

Hi there, I've tested Joplin and its webclipper, the good thing about is that if offers the option of clipping URLs without saving the pictures included within each link. Now as I've noticed the last month has been particularly "laborious" for my Evernote's account, because I've reached nearly 70% of my monthly 60Mb limit. I have never been so close to my limit before in a nearly decade of using Evernote. I would normally utilize only a few Mbs of my space every month. No wonder Evernote has chosen my account for their aggressive marketing campaign. So I have asked myself, what did I do different last month in terms of clipping (most routine operation for which I utilize my Evernote)? And then I've realized that I've started clipping some Libgen ebooks from my RSS stream. So I've checked the bookmarks and, sh*t, I found that nearly every bookmark that I clipped from my Chrome also had the picture of the book cover (see below attached screenshot from my Evernote and also below Libgen's example link): https://libgen.st/book/index.php?md5=149E096A1DC7D928E76B7B5ED824812F While every picture would normally weigh up to 500Kb. In fact, I don't need those pictures at all, all I needed was the link and the book title along with its author. So why would Evernote clipper do any extra work by attaching the pics I dont even need? Is there any way this could be done by the same way as Joplin does? In fact, I would prefer that Evernote redo all saved bookmarks to remove all attached pics completely by leaving only URLs with titles, if I may ask that...

Agreed. The published pricing policy is absolutely misleading. Out of the whole bunch of free note-taking apps available. incl. Joplin, OneNote etc., only Evernote chose to block users from creating new notes and simultaneously notify them of the policy change, which is usually regarded as non-sense akin betrayal. But my main concern is private data leaks. The moment like this is too convenient for competitors to intervene and arrange that to finally bury Evernote's reputation.

I would be very cautious to take on any particular advice from Evernote from now on. I think that users are free to choose from many more options: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_note-taking_software The motivation for migration shouldn't also disregard the available toolset for migration, including Google query: evernote AND import site:sourceforge.net or Google query: evernote AND import site:github.com

Same things are actually here in Russia. Sudden changes in pricing policy are no good, especially given the fact that the available information on free accounts limitations appears to be rather misleading https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005247-Evernote-system-limits

well, we don't know that for sure yet 🙂 we don't know what's gonna happen to the data of the users who decide to retire their accounts. While the way the new changes are being enforced and implemented makes me highly suspicious of what's gonna happen next

Thanks. Well, my understanding is that the choice ain't that limited as far as freeware is concerned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_note-taking_software In fact, backups and sourceforge tools seem to be the right way for moving forward 🙂
