I'm in the process of migrating from Evernote to Joplin, doing a careful migration by individual notebooks (with a total of 19,959 notes in Evernote).
So far it has been reasonably painless; for example, I have a few Evernote features to work out how to manage, such as text searches on scanned images.
I had tried a number of other tools (Obsidian, Loqseq, Notion, Bear, Apple Notes) and Joplin seems to fit my use cases the best.
You can upload the activity via PC: the FIT files are directly accessible via USB mass storage in the "Activity" directory.
This allows you to upload FIT files to cloud-based services such as Strava to see your running stats, or into a PC-based application to do the same locally.
But now it's kinda obvious they only did this as ammo in preparation for today's announcement. I sincerely do hope they continue to add new features, there is a huge stack of requests and ideas still waiting in their support forums.
No, they did it because they lost entire years following ill-advised growth fantasies into nonexisting markets where every yoga session, every treadmill workout would somehow be a "Strava moment" and that would magically pay their bills. They completely neglected their incredibly successful (within scope) but not quite profitable core business. A few months ago they switched to salvage mode, going through those years of accumulated backlog at dangerous speed. And now this, it's just a sign of desperation. It certainly shares the cause with the changes before but I wouldn't call one the buildup for the other.
Hands down the best summary of what seems to be going on I've seen.
I vaguely remember new features some 5+ years ago, or promises of fixing issues (that are still there), but that had stopped and all we got was a social-network-like feed. One would think with the data they have Metro would be able to profit from free users, but I guess not?

This exactly -- of all the magazines I subscribe to, Make has (had?) the worst subscription department by far. It was surprising given how important a subscriber base is.
I work at festivals from time to time. Listening to 10-33 reminds me of having the staff radio tuned to the medical channel when I am off duty at 4am. I immediately thought of it when I read the headline!
Notion's tables are ironically too complex to use but not powerful enough to provide good functionality. It would have been better if they just had a a simple table like in Word.
It's like they tried to jam airtable into their product.
Their tables are more like databases. I am looking for a simple, static table that I can enter lots of information into.
I log every day in a week as a 7x4(or so) table, and each cell contains a lot of information. Notion's tables are just not cut out for it. I've messaged their support several times asking for this feature, since their product is otherwise perfect, but basic tables of this nature are simply not on their roadmap for the foreseeable future.
I tried Notion but honestly found it to be overly complex for what I had primarily done in Evernote. Am I must missing some key workflow concepts with it?
