    @0uterzenith I have spent the last couple of days banging on this in anticipation of moving from Evernote. Both Obsidian and Joplin look like they would work for you. I’ve decided on Joplin for a number of reasons that are important to me.

    1. It syncs natively through Dropbox.
    2. It has clients for Windows, Linux, and iOS so all my devices can access it through Dropbox. Obsidian requires a subscription to support iOS.
    3. It imports the Evernote .ENEX folder export files natively and pretty cleanly.

    I found a web browser extension called “MarkdownLoad” that lets you capture all or part of a web page and save it to a markdown file (.MD) that you can then import into either. Solves the one issue I was really worried about in moving from Evernote.
