paperless-ngx
A community-supported supercharged version of paperless: scan, index and archive all your physical documents
If you mean which services I went to, I pulled the plug on proprietary or at least non-open-source services and walled gardens. I'm now using GitLab Pages to host both my blog and the notes I had there. I use Sphinx to manage structure and templating.
I have created a /notes folder which gets made available under the same domain ( https://jdsalaro.com/blog/category/notes/ ) which will contain all stuff I had in Evernote.
The content of my Evernote account is exported via the API and each note put into a note.md file with the first line as title, tags ( private, note) and "inferred" headings.
Within that folder there's a /private one which never gets built ( using tox ) nor published to the public version of my blog. There's a separate GitLab pipeline which only builds /private and makes it available under Gitlab pages but uses another non-public project, so you need to be logged in and a member of the repo to be able to see it.
The good thing is that I can read them everywhere and if necessary edit stuff via mobile ( Browser tab added to home screen or La coat )
Since everything is backed up using git, both the public and private versions, I don't have to worry about losing data.
Cool side-effects are that I've started using and understanding Sphinx to manage the structure and templating and even started poking around helping with the project ( https://github.com/executablebooks/sphinx-external-toc/issue... )
Really, we had the power all along but became complacent. We've got to be the change we want to see.
I exported from Evernote to a ENEX file.
Then imported the ENEX file into https://github.com/laurent22/joplin
Surprised to hear no mention of Obsidian (https://obsidian.md/). I switched from Evernote to Notion years ago and finally switched beginning of this year from Notion -> Obsidian.
Top reasons:
- local first files stored in markdown format (somewhat future-proof); this also allows a Git repo sync
Has online whos been using Evernote as a bit of a paperless office (receipts, scanned docs etc) successfully switched across to Paperless-ngx [1]. Interested in if there’s an easy way to export from Evernote into paperless.

There's a tool called Yarle, aka "Yet another rope ladder from Evernote" that helps you migrate your data to Markdown:

I was never a big Evernote user, but I did use Yarle to migrate some old Evernote data to Obsidian.
