Shifting out of Evernote feels like escaping from Evernote. Gone downhill so quickly.
Still can't find anything that works as smoothly though
* Great search
* Quick capture and web clipper
* Simple structure
* Easy merge, moving
Anyway, moving out of it in the coming week.

Something to be said abt a predictable user experience, where they're able to focus on their own interactions than what you're doing with the platform by changing terms & conditions every day. Well done Elon: you've made twitter into something that people are willing to move to a Zuck platform from.

So here's what I see re Threads:
1. Vs Twitter: from a UX perspective, unlike Twitter, threads actually encourages adding more to your thread.
2. Vs Bluesky: unlike Bluesky, threads actually has threads. And a substantially higher wordcount.

Funnily enough, the regulations for traceability in India, which WhatsApp has challenged in court because they would break e2e encryption, apparently don't apply to apple. They could have negotiated something with the Indian govt.
