   Ugh. I had to migrate away from #Evernote already and that was quite a chore. Now #Notion is trying to charge me! Where do I go from here? I have my Evernote file that I can import, but I've added things in Notion over the past year.

     @devlord @ashteranic your notes will be in markdown (plain txt), so even if it's not free forever, there are lots of software out there such as logseq that can read the files. That's the beauty of Obsidian.

     @ashteranic I’m also worried that it might not be “free forever”, the same way those other apps started charging once you became dependent on them.

     @devlord As much as moving again might suck, Obsidian seems to be reasonably popular for the right reasons. Looks like you can just store notebooks from it in regular cloud storage as an alternative to just making an online account. Pay-for stuff is targeted at enterprise users.

     That said, I haven't used it much myself, and i'm not sure what the import process would look like.
