I previously posted this at https://lemmy.world/post/30816595

I really appreciate all the feedback from the community! I haven't had time to address everything yet, but I thought I'd share the redesign as I continue to make this a useful tool for everyone who needs to find a new home for their articles. For anyone who saw the old version, I think you'll agree it has come a long way!

Sponsored, using affiliate links and accepting donations? Somebody better fork this guide before the GitHub gets yanked

Edit: Okay, after looking around at this, something seems... off. Linking to getoffpocket.com?by=lemmy was odd already, but then I noticed that every single service here appears to have a referral link. Even the OneNote link has a referral code stapled onto it:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/onenote/digital-note-taking-app?rby=getoffpocket.com%2Fproprietary%2Fmicrosoft-onenote%2F

For some reason, those same UTM links are used for everything, including links to GitHub?
How about no extra query parameters at all?

I'm also surprised there's not even a passing mention to Obsidian and Evernote.

I think I'll stick to searching out my own recs on AlternativeTo

It takes a lot of effort to make something like this. I appreciate any support people are willing to provide so I can continue improving it.

Yeah I'm sketched out that it shows only paid monthly subscription options even for open source self hosted options that you probably don't need to pay a penny for

You have some good feedback. Thanks for taking the time to provide it.
