Suggestion: Add ability to link to other apps better

[delawaredave 55]

Add ability to make a EN link that can be pasted in calendar notes, to-do lists, reminders.  Click link - opens EN - goes to that note.

 

I know you can open web EN, get long share link - that's a "rube goldberg"

 

EN lacking in integration with other apps.

 

Soap box:

- Should focus on "intra-person collaboration" (connecting for a user across different apps on their device).

- You are wasting too much development resources on "inter-person collaboration" - nobody is going to use EN to present slides at a meeting.

 

I'll bet 90% of people view EN as a personal notestack information management tool (the best one)

 

EN will lose to "big dogs" like Google and Microsoft trying to make collaboration tools between people.

 

Focus on your niche.

There's no reason to go to Evernote Web to get links.

In the Mac App:

(For a link useable for yourself or someone you share a notebook/note with privately)

1) Select a note

2) cmd-opt-ctrl-c to copy "private" note link

3) paste link in the application of your choice, such as the URL or Notes field of a calendar event or Omnifocus action. 

4) On an iOS device or Mac with Evernote installed and recently synced, tap the link you've pasted in your calendar or task manager and you'll be taken to that note in the Evernote application (you might bounce to the web first, then be directed to the app, unfortunately... something that changed in the last year or so). 

 

(For a link usable by anyone, regardless of whether they are an Evernote user, and regardless of if the note has been privately shared with them):

1) The same as above except use the cmd-/ hotkey to copy the link. 

 

On iOS:

1) enter any note (ensure you are not in "edit" mode, e.g., ensure the keyboard is hidden/dismissed)

2) Tap the three dots in bottom right

3) Tap "Share"

4) from the bottom row of options (black and white) select "copy link". This might require scrolling to the side a bit. 

5) Select Private (If it is just for you, or for someone who has access to this notebook because it is shared with them) or Public (for anyone else)

6) Paste the link wherever you see fit, such as the URL/Note of a calendar event or in the note field of an action in your task manager. 

 

No need to go to the web interface to retrieve the link! (The links are long, true, but since you're copy-pasting everything, the length isn't a terribly big deal).

Evernote has data on usage and use cases. We don't.  Hard for those of us who lack data to tell those with data what they should do. All we can do is ask for what we need based on our needs, since we can't accurately speculate about the needs of others.
