CIRCLE WITH A DOT

It turned out that KiCad can easily recognise my Eagle files, thus saving me from tearing my hair out.

However, that’s not how things work in this world.
Autodesk doesn’t give a shit about their users.
Also, companies don’t give a fuck about their employees.

@realgnomidad I learned about Obsidian just a moment after I switched to Notion from Evernote. Evernote had a native app for desktop (like _really_ native, written in Qt). So what could have gone wrong? They restricted synchronization to 2 devices.
I was amazed with Obsidian that it basically rendered my website locally (my website converts Markdown files into webpages).
And currently I don’t complain about Notion functionality. But they keep making changes, and for me that is a bad sign. It reminds me of Trello. Trello was a superb service - light and simple kanban board. But when Atlassian came along, they made it slow and they’ve crammed a terrible text editor in there.
Besides, I’ve now started hosting a lot of services at home, whereas before I didn’t have that option.
And so, naturally, as Notion made changes to its interface bit by bit, I began to lose trust in the service and found a self-hosted alternative.

Three or four years ago, I highly praised Notion as a platform for syncing notes between my computer and phone, a way to organise thoughts, links and ideas, and a single hub where I could plan future projects and draft articles and book chapters. That was before they became popular and started adding corporate features. That was before they crammed AI into every nook and cranny.
