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!

    Edit:

    this site is mostly ads now

    • Only 4 of the original 22 options are still on the homepage
    • Two (50%) are hosted via sponsor CloudBreak
    • One (25%) is hosted via sponsor Sunya
    • The “get started” links mostly (75%) point to Stripe checkout pages

    OP, is this a joke?

    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

      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

          Yep I knew it would be about this, anything for a buck, I wonder how much he made from these links

      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.
