Zsolt.Juhasz 11 Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 Whats about providing an API, instead of trying to implement only a part of great ideas from your customers. So we can build our own features. Because I think, the community has great ideas, but EN is unable to serve them all. An API would be the best compromiss for creating cool things as (only a glimse from my mind): Inline Tags (similar to Google Keep) Inline Anchors / in connection with an Table of Content "real" tables // the current implementation is really buggy Tables with fixed header / footer Tables with summary (calculating Columns) Tables with column sort Tabled with column filter "real" formatting // the the ideas from Confluence as real headlines Additional meta information to an note like a date range special note types Or mark a note as template Excerpts of a note (using the same Template everywhere and get all updates Macros at all / Maybe a Macro Market? An better search UI (at least under Windows / Android) - bec. the current works, but you need to remember all search terms instead of clicking them together Outlining (collapsable list of information) Checkboxes which inherite the state from child checkboxes Different color for Evernote links in comparison to real links (I know you get green links if you drag a note to another, but this does not work with STRG-K Speaking about links - why should we use 3! different shortcuts to edit a link? Why not only STRG+K as all other Win or Web-Apps work Support for Markdown Allow inline HTML Edititing (for advanced users) Allow Inline Videos - An Note is just an HTML - why not support embedded Objects? Preview of attached Office Documents / Google Documents - there are a plenty of Viewers available Finding attachements based on the extension (this is already implemented, but in a real limited way - so I need to assign extra tags to find my attachements Support of a global CSS to style your notes ....and many many more - thats just a few of my ideas ... but think about the power of the community....! Don't get me wrong: I really love Evernote and I'm a Premium user since years. But I can't see any development to make things really usefull. Yes: EN 6.* for windows was a huge leap in the right direction, but there are sooo many missing features regarding to the editor - I can referate hours about the pros and cons of EN :-)
Level 5* jefito 5,598 Posted July 28, 2016 Level 5* Posted July 28, 2016 There already is an Evernote API (https://dev.evernote.com/doc/), but it deals with managing user account notes, so that you could write your own Evernote client, or do processing on your notes or whatever. Also see http://stackoverflow.com/tags/evernote. There is no API for the Windows desktop (or for any other platform) client that I know of.

Creating an own UI would be one way - but in my opinion a to huge effort if you want to enhance only a small piece. E.g.: there are a lot of plugins for the Google Chrome or Firefox to enhance or change its features/capabilities. It would be to much to create an standalone browser only to create something like the beloved Evernote WebClipper / Clearly (which I still use) :-)
