@liaizon My lab just moved over to Notion this week. For people who need permanent data archiving it was getting more and more risky (and according to my supervisor their tech support has been distinctly less responsive in the past 6 months).

@SRLevine eep I don't trust Notion either, they will eventually have the same downfall as all VC backed things do

@liaizon I didn't choose it, but I think the idea was we needed *something* quickly that could take in evernote archives easily. The problem is a lot of electronic laboratory notebooks aren't any better in terms of who is funding them. Hopefully a long term solution presents itself sooner rather than later, since I really like the ELNs and am not willing to go back to paper.

@SRLevine I have been using Obsidian, and while its not open source all the data is kept in easily movable and preservable chunks in. away that almost non of the other big "note taking/journal" systems have. But yeah I don't know how much of a hassle moving Evernote archives around is and what shape they take.

@liaizon @SRLevine I recently did a mass export on an old account, and discovered a tool to convert Evernote backups to markdown, which is what Obsidian uses. I had to export one notebook at a time, but otherwise it was pretty painless: github.com/wormi4ok/evernote2m

@liaizon @SRLevine Yup, Iā€™m moving everything from Notion to Obsidian after Notion slowed to an unusable crawl after adding AI. I let their support team know and they supposedly fixed it, but I can never trust it again. I NEED my task management system (and notes about my kiddo) to work when I need it to, so a local solution like Obsidian is it. Bonus, you can store your vaults in iCloud Drive and get it on your phone for free!
