@nmboma: You original request was merged by a moderator onto the end of this existing thread, whose title probably has the word 'REQUEST' added by a moderator.

My point about multi-platform is that Evernote already puts out native versions for a number of platforms; the fact that Linux is not one of those platforms doesn't make it any less true.

@jefito
Ah, I see.

Let's leave the cross-platform thing. I was simply trying to stir up some feathers

I would also like to thank BurgersNFries for the NixNote tip. BTW, is there some sort of a reference table comparing Web based evernote vs desktop evernote vs NixNote?

Thanks for the Nixnote (now called Nevernote) tip; my company is deploying linux laptops, and Nevernote may be the solution I was looking for.

Actually, I think it's the other way around. Nevernote evolved into Nixnote.

Instead of building a new Linux client from scratch why doesn’t Evernote just contribute to the existing work which already has been made for Nixnote?
Nixnote could use a nicer GUI and the Evernote developers could help out there. ;-)

Probably for the same reason EN has chosen not to make their own linux
client - balancing time & resources against their priority list.

NixNote is a third-party program. The work that Evernote does for third-party programmers is to provide its API, and support for the API. If they wanted to do UI on Linux they would just do it, and have it be an actual Evernote product.

Any future plans to release a Linux (ubuntu) client? As a Premium member, it would make my membership worthwhile. Thanks.

Search the forum and you will see that Evernote have said that they are not going to build a Linux client.

They have an API for the service and so you are free to write your own if you are so inclined...

At least it saves on typing, eh?

Yup, true.

Could it be an option to try to solicit a quote to develop Linux client from Evernote and to run a kickstarter campaign to raise the funds?

What do you think?

Hi Doff. Welcome to the forums!

Interesting idea The Evernote API is out there, so a third-party developer could make this happen with some kind of integration. If you could get a developer on board, you are good to go.

I can't speak for Evernote, of course, but my guess is that they are unwilling to take on the project, because they have already decided not to devote resources to the platform, not because they lack the money. It isn't a one-time thing for them, after all, but support they have to continue for years and years. In order to maintain parity across different clients, they'd have to hire a team to keep updating the application. A third-party wouldn't be operating under the same constraints, and they might even be able to make money off sales of their application to Linux users.

doff, i think that's is a swell idea, we might put some people together to develop a linux based evernote client, without any ugly ui design,and we can allow programmer put their AD in the client to makeup to them.

Great attitude. You realise some people don't live on these forums and land on this page via a search engine?

Also worth noting that a much greater number of people these days use multiple operating systems and multiple devices. Linux is particularly useful on older systems. So I can use EN on my PC, Mac, iPad and Droid phone with a proper application (and they're all great), but have to use the crappy web interface on my Linux machine.

Apologies for the anger, but I love EN and find it very frustrating that this situation exists, although I do understand the economics of the problem.

All the poster had to do was read what the last post was before he posted. (That's pretty much common "netitquette", regardless how someone ends up on this or any message board..) If that's a hardship, I think the lack of a linux client is the least of his/her issues.

[HeshamSaleh]

+1 on a Linux client, I have been suffering with the slowness of the web interface and the lose of its tab among other +100 tabs :|

Not to mention offline access...

Can't we all just contribute to the NixNote one at least ? Can any body here invite one of its developers to give us a kick start on code base while evaluating what features/enhancements are on top of priories list...
