  • @0uterzenith I have spent the last couple of days banging on this in anticipation of moving from Evernote. Both Obsidian and Joplin look like they would work for you. I’ve decided on Joplin for a number of reasons that are important to me.

    1. It syncs natively through Dropbox.
    2. It has clients for Windows, Linux, and iOS so all my devices can access it through Dropbox. Obsidian requires a subscription to support iOS.
    3. It imports the Evernote .ENEX folder export files natively and pretty cleanly.

    I found a web browser extension called “MarkdownLoad” that lets you capture all or part of a web page and save it to a markdown file (.MD) that you can then import into either. Solves the one issue I was really worried about in moving from Evernote.





  • 1 - Tenure just got thrown out.

    To implement these reforms, the superintendent is requiring every employee in the 29 schools, from the janitor to the principal, to reapply for their job.

    2 - No libraries.

    Miles has said that librarians will likely be eliminated—because, in his view, their job consists only of “checking out books,”

    3 - Fire Brigade method of staffing.

    “He seems to be taking an approach that’s based on the idea of equity, the idea of finding the strongest educators in the entire district and moving them to the campuses that have the greatest number of students with unmet needs.”

    4 - Big Brother comes to the classroom. Not mentioned was the additional staffing to watch monitors and “disciplinary enforcers” needed to remove poorly behaving students and watch them in the separate room.

    a strict disciplinary regime enforced by cameras in every classroom.
