Evernote users !
For those interested, it is still possible to use EN with the free plan, and create notes past the 50 mark…
For now at least…
As it turns out, this limitation is not effective when notes are created using their SDK. So provided the notes are created in InfoQube IM, then these can be edited in EN
Of course, there is no guarantee how long this trick will work, but it is a nifty way to continue to use EN on the free plan.

Paul’s workaround to Evernote’s note and notebook limitation is very interesting! Maintaining the note and notebook limitation in the free plan shows EN’s reluctance to make the free plan practical for most people, in spite of adding new features from the paid side to it. The free plan becomes more of a free trial, and the personal plan becomes more attractive.

Ah, I’m afraid AnyType is my latest fascination (in the endless CRIMPing round that is life). So far, it’s impressed me very much – a kind of personal version of Notion. Once you get a handle on what it can do, the possibilities really start to snowball. However, there are a few irritating inconsistencies.
First, the editor is clearly inspired by Craft, and allows you to display links as simple underlined text or actual “cards”, meaning nicely decorated blocks/buttons that attract the eye. But to create a card, you have to modify the link’s settings from the “Preview” item in the context menu that appears when you click on a block’s left-hand border. Unfortunately, the “Preview” sub-menu doesn’t always appear. Embedding (transcluding) objects in notes/pages is also a somewhat fraught exercise, although I’m beginning to get the hang of it!
Second, search indexing by the universal search function is somewhat arbitrary. I imported a couple of hundred markdown notes (from Obsidian, as it happens), because AnyType’s import facility is really rather good. But I’ve discovered that none of them were indexed – the universal search function can’t find text in the body of these notes. Nor will it find text in HTML tables pasted into notes from e.g. websites, external sources etc.
On the other hand, if you copy and paste imported text (but not tables) into a new page or note, it’s immediately indexed (I pasted the entire text of Moby Dick into a note, and the universal search function immediately found terms in there). And general web pages pasted into a note are also indexed (a lengthy shipping article is immediately discoverable). If you create notes from scratch, they’re immediately indexed and available to the universal search function. So universal search is extremely useful – with some odd exceptions, notably imported files and pasted HTML tables. Even copying and pasting an HTML table from one note into a new one didn’t solve this problem.
It’s worth noting that the page search function is unaffected by this, and has proved to be extremely efficient.
You will, of course, remind me that AnyType is still in early development (I’m using the latest version, 0.39) – and yes, I’m well aware of this, and actually profoundly impressed by how sophisticated, fast and user-friendly it is (given some of the complex elements available to the really Notion-obsessed, e.g. “sets” vs “collections”). Once you start to play around, and in particular, read some of the documentation/watch some of the YouTube videos, you realise just how interestingly flexible it is as a data management app. There’s still a lot to do (notably in terms of embedding stuff inline), but it’s already worth taking very seriously.
