(Archived) Integrating Evernote with Scrivener

[jlmccreery 1]

Any chance of getting Evernote integrated into Scrivener the way it is integrated into Curio? I've got masses of notes in Evernote that I would like to access without leaving Scrivener.

the normal response to this is to suggest that the 'other' app uses the EN API to integrate.

Indeed.

The other applications in our Trunk (like Curio) implemented their integrations using our public API:

We're happy to give pointers for developers to make this integration easier, but the bulk of the work would be on the other side.

Keith -- the developer of Scrivener -- has said he's adding AppleScript into Scrivener 2.1 or 2.2.... so at least that may be a workable option in the near future (Especially when you factor in recent AppleScript improvements on the Evernote side of things!).

I'll forward him a link to this thread... and Scrivener users who are interested in a deep Evernote integration should reach out to him as well. Let him know how you'd like it to work, how to integrate it into the UI, etc.... I think the Curio integration is a good reference point and actually would allow him to see how other apps use Evernote to house their research materials.

That said, he just launched 2.0 after working on it for years. My observation is that he likes to do things right -- even if it takes him a long time. If it happens, it almost assuredly will be a while before you see it.

I think that integrating via AppleScript to our local application may be much easier than doing something via our network service API.

Thanks!
