Get ready for “enhancements” and look out for alternatives.
The buyer “Bending Spoons” also bought Evernote in 2023, for those who remember that downfall.
from the article:
Evernote: Acquired in January 2023, in July 2023 Bending Spoons laid off all Evernote staff and transferred the operations to Bending Spoons HQ. Mosaic Group: Acquired in January 2024, immediately laid off all 330 staff members, folded operations into Bending Spoons HQ. WeTransfer: Acquired in July 2024, in September 2024 laid off 75% of all staff. MeetUp: Acquired in January 2024, in February 2024 laid off a “significant” portion of the workforce Brightcove: Acquired in November 2024, yesterday, March 19th, laid off 2/3rds of US employeeskomoot knows what they’re in for
Time to shine a light on Joplin! It’s FOSS, has great support for your own cloud, powerful plugins and is just an all around fine piece of note taking software
What would be the best alternatives? I love Komoot’s maps for planning out MTB rides, and their Garmin app makes it super easy to navigate while riding.
OSMand is no full replacement, but planning GPX tracks on some other app and then transferring that to OSMand should be a breeze. Navigation while riding/hiking/biking/driving on OSMand is pretty feature complete, but I never touched Komoot or used their Garmin app, so I can’t make a good comparison.
Well this is sad. We just cant have nice things I guess.
For alternatives, there’s Wikiloc: https://www.wikiloc.com/
And perhaps GeoVelo: https://geovelo.app/en/
