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
