From 8 seconds loading the notes list after selecting a new tag or notebook to 2.5 seconds From 4 seconds loading a note to 1 second Getting better but notes scolling still lags somewhat so thats still a major. Android app is totally non-functional so I had to revert to V8 on there. Just thought I would mention

Hey! I can't generate any dev tokens. Does anyone know why and when it will be enabled pls? I have emailed them also but maybe someone here knows also. https://www.evernote.com/api/DeveloperToken.action Cheers!

Nimbus is the closest but still feels rough. Here are my observations: Pros The major thing Nimbus has going for it is it's first class support; they get back to you quick and even talk to the developers directly so they can work on stuff. It's also in development which seems really fast. I have no doubt Nimbus will be very far in a years time. Great editor Nested folders Seems fast 5 workspaces Enex files mostly imported without issues Cons Importer does not import 100% of enex in some cases. Its kinda minor but there has been some major instances. Sometimes slow performance than even new Evernote in some cases (I am not sure why; perhaps while I was transferring to another workspace or uploading) Non-hierarchical tags means a long list of tags (on Evernote is all folded away in categories) New Evernote dark theme beats Nimbus's. A lot of tools support Evernote import from enex files. Not with Nimbus which exports to html or pdf. So feels like more of a lock in? Transferring notes to another workspace is buggy, slow in Nimbus. Nimbus web clipper on chrome has a lot of bad reviews compared to Evernote. You can't share a folder to a specific email. You can only make a folder totally public or make. It public and password protect it. I prefer Evernote's model of sharing. Notes Oh and Nimbus is on Amazon Web Services while Evernote is on Google Cloud for what it's worth! Evernote has over 200 million users while Nimbus only has over a million. Otherwise I'm still trying to play with Nimbus to see if it works out. With all this said, still not sure about Nimbus. As Evernote might get it sorted soon. I've kinda given up and will just stick to Evernote unless another disaster happens. I have had enough of notes!!!

I found that card view was so slow but snippet or list view was a lot faster. Weird.

I downloaded from the windows store and keep clicking check for updates on my existing EN that I downloaded/installed from the site but nothing. I know I can download from the site the 10.3 version but I want to see how long it takes to even update this app via the store or even the old app!!!! Its been a day; hopefully I am not being impatient 😮

The problem is that Nimbus Notes was getting 502 errors (server down or some issue there end) a few hours ago when I was trialing out by importing Evernote. So Nimbus does not seem stable enough! Might be stuck with Evernote; price and all. Not seen any similar alternatives that I like. YMMV.

Thanks for that! I mean, for example, they barely managed to implement notebook stacks due to the way it was implemented thus my reasoning. Such a strange architecture to implement thats so restricted. Anyway, I am still confused as to what to do lol! Still trialing out Nimbus. What you gonna do? Some people are just gonna stay on EN. For Nimbus, I can export my notes to PDF and HTML but EN won't import those anyway as it was originally. Ah well.

What about the codebase? I heard it was a mess and there were limitations on what they could achieve based on their architecture or choices they chose etc. Isn't it at least partially developers choosing a specific way to code up Evernote that has lead to 1 reason to wanting to recode Evernote? I understand other reason wanting one codebase for all platforms etc.

What you gonna do then? I am finding Nimbus ok actually but I never did use search in any other way than simple in Evernote. Joplin sync can't handle my library on Android or its just too much. I don't see any alternatives! Still looking.

I get you about not burning bridges but Nimbus has this workspace feature. It will make it more organised and show only relevant workspace tags and folders/notebooks. Pros/cons and depends on your needs really. I am still weighing!

90GB! Holy cow. Would like to know what the actual issues were. I have been importing and not seen any issues thus far though my library size is not that huge! Yeah I asked in Joplin forums but its kinda obvious on how it works that large libraries on Android is just unfeasible.

I tried Joplin with my huge Evernote library. It took over a day to import/encrypt/decrypt on desktop mac/windows. That part I can live with. I can't work with the Joplin Android client though; there is no background sync so my phone goes to sleep in 10 minutes max and so does the sync. So syncing on Android just is not feasible for me; its impossible! So my choices seem to be Nimbus Notes or wait for Evernote to get better. So far Nimbus seems great and the roadmap seems promising thus far.

I have 50,000 notes in my Evernote and, tbh, a lot of it is buried. I do have a tag system like parentTag.childTag.specificTopic to organise it. But that only goes so far. I did some searching and discovered the Zettelkasten method https://zettelkasten.de/posts/overview/ which I implemented using Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/). Now this is only for my hand-written notes. I still use Evernote (thinking of migrating to Nimbus; still trialing) for research/archival though. Nimbus offers another level of organisation through workspaces. I think the Zettelkasten method is really the best way to organise your notes as its how your brain works. Researching your notes would be akin to querying your knowledge graph so to speak. I'm sure there are loads of methods though! This one seems to resonate with me.
