As a company Evernote continues to devolve; I was planning to re-up for the discounted price of 70 as I formulate my exit strategy, but they mischarged me and dont answer their support emails.
I use evernote primarily for clipping and sorting and dont need much in the way of note writing.
All of the other products I've looked at (including Joplin) don't seem to do a great job in helping scan through ones notes. I really like the evernote few-line with picture preview, and when I tried the Joplin equivalent the data shown was not nearly as good/correct.
I've discovered evernote-backup which exports all of ones notes to an sqllite file; and have been scripting with python to see the fields (like the summary) that evernote preserves in the data. It would be great if all these could be surfaced, optionally, in a list or snippet-type view within Joplin.
I've also notices some degredation in formatting even when importing to HTML.
Overall I really like Joplin but hope you can support more of the visual organizing tools.
I'm in the process of migrating from Evernote to Joplin. I selected Joplin because it has the ability to import Evernote notebooks and it has a very nice Web Clipper.
The primary native format or Joplin is markdown so if you import things as HTML they may not look as nice as they do if you import them as Markdown. When I do web clipping even though the source which is the web page and is formatted with HTML you want to save the entire page as markdown not HTML and you'll get better results there.
There's also a Joplin plug-in that will fix note to note links. In Evernote you can create a link from One note to another note and there is a Joplin plug-in that reads those entries and creates a similar environment inside Joplin.
Stick with it and ask any further questions that you have and the backup program that you're using is the correct one for saving and importing into Joplin.
If you're accustomed to using the graphic annotation feature of Evernote and want a replacement I use an open source app called
