NoteEvernoteに見切りをつけてObsidianに移行したのちUpNoteを導入した｜mojinGrounded web searchまださほど使っていないのでなんとも言えないが、ファースト・インプレッションでの不満を以下に。主にEvernoteとの比較になるので、実はObsidianへの不満点でもある ... - ウェブクリッパーはよくできているのだが、クリップ時にどのNotebookに追加するか選べるとよい - タグが本文中に埋め込まれている必要があるため、ノート自体をタグ付けすることができない。ただし、ひとつのノートを複数のNotebookに紐付けることができる。Gmailのラベルのような使い方が想定されているのかもしれない - データはUpNoteが管理するクラウド上のファイルサーバーに保存されるのだが、ノートのサイズの最大が20MBで、画像の解像度は落とした上で保存しているらしい。なので、オリジナル解像度で保存したい画像は別に持っておく必要があるのかもしれない
