Hi All,

Ok, I am going to concentrate some energy on Hello. The reason is it is so close to becoming a great hub for how I work. So let's talk a bit of design and integration. I will add more in coming weeks as I use this new creature.

So here are my suggestions (these are much bigger than cosmetic and I understand that it might be a big stretch to expect any of these coming to pass).

1. The eye candy for this app is not needed as much as depth...I want to find it fast, create a event, and use rich data to send to evernote (my extended brain)

2. I want to be able to control the camera with a standard touch to shoot interface (KISS method here is needed..redesigning this is not necessary).

3. After I create an event I want to be able to file it to a new note or an existing note. This is because encounters will sometimes go to a project and a contact. Having the choice to send it an existing EN folder would make this way more useful.

4. I want to be able to say what happened (a note)...sure, but I NEED to be able to be as nimble as I am with evernote right there...right now! I need to be able to add a todo...another photo...etc... I cannot go back and forth..I need it to happen in real time.


Let's start there...I am in love with the premise...now I am excited to see how this grows up so I can learn to love the implementation.

I'm about to throw myself into it and see if it can deliver. Integration with google contacts would rock

Looking forward to hearing others thoughts

I would like to have an IPad version. Frankly I use my iPad at every meeting and it would be so easy to utilize. I would also love to have good integration with Linkedin. The ability to scan a business card would save me using Card Munch.

#1 Noted.

#2 Are you talking about the camera to take pictures after you've create a profile or the camera that you use to take pictures of people's faces?

#3 All Hello encounters are new notes. It would be extremely difficult in the UI to help you append to an existing note which goes against the KISS principle. It sounds like you would prefer to keep all project related notes in the same notebook regardless if they are hand typed notes or Hello encounters. You can do this now within Evernote by moving the Hello encounter note with one of the other Evernote clients.

#4 After creating a profile, further below on the profile screen there are buttons for adding a note and adding pictures. The note is the same note as the person's encounter so that you can relate any todo's directly with the person and the encounter in which you met them. Similarly with any pictures you take within Hello.

An iPad version is on the roadmap but won't be out soon.
