Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off
Its acquirer (Bending Spoons) has taken over operations. They’ve also hiked subscriptions prices and told customers they intend to use new revenues to pay for new features. How they intend to do that without any staff is something I would like to know about.
If you’re still using Evernote, probably a good time to stop.

I've tried using Evernote from time to time throughout the years and each time only last about a week into it, it just doesn't naturally fit into my personal "workflow". I definitelly need something for capturing ideas, but for whatever reason, Evernote wasn't it for me. I've been bouncing between Notion and Obsidian currently, with Obsidian at least being my work note-taking app and Notion being more for personal notes (since I have more flexibility in where I can access it).
Same thing for me. I feel like Obsidian fares better for my work notes which are mainly text, and Notion fares better for my personal (and D&D) notes, which include more media.
If I had to choose only one, I'd probably go with Obsidian, but I haven't found a free mobile/desktop syncing option that I've been happy with. Both Syncthing and iCloud have given me file versioning conflicts for some reason, so I'm always hesitant to use it in case I were to lose something. Notion just works without me having to think about it, and I do actually like the way it handles some things, but I like how flexible Obsidian can be with plug-ins. Until either app does something to push me away, I'm fine just floating between the two for now.
I've been using Google Docs for my tabletop game notes but felt like I was constantly fussing with formatting and struggling to have text and photos alongside each other without being a jumbled mess.
I've been trying out Obsidian instead which I really like for technical notes, but I definitely have to be more careful and deliberate about embedding images.
