I also use it, like you, because there is no good replacemt.

However, I have to say that Evernote is improving since it was bought by Bending Spoons.

I don't understand the general opinion of Hacker News, that it is dying. Evernote is in fact better now than one year ago.

Maybe these US developers were not as good as the Italian ones. Well, I mean, they guys in charge of the team were not good.

I don't know. But, now, Evernote is better.

Hacker News has been declaring Evernote dead for a long time, but these Italian guys from Bending Spoons are improving the app notably. It now works better and I hope one day we will reach a performance comparable to the old app.

What are your thoughts on the future of pirate soccer on Telegram?

ChatGPT does not understand the concept "west".
