Correct. In other words you can only color Notebooks. You can't color Stacks. @Flier, you might want to try out a notebook/ tag-based hybrid setup... Do your thing with Stacks and Notebooks... and then go deeper with tags. While filtering for notebooks in the note panel, you are able to bring up all tags associated with those filtered notes... and as your tag filtering gets more specific, you only see remaining tags available to filter further via the tag search icon in the Note List's search explanation. As @csihilling pointed out, nested tags have become a whole lot more powerful and behave more like nested elements would, being able to search from any level down through children elements. Nice! A REMINDER: you have other Evernote users just like yourself offering (friendly) workarounds and suggestions and you're coming across as a spoiled, entitled brat.

BINGO!

Using notebooks does not preclude the use of tags. But tagging has been given quite a boost in Windows v.6 with being able to select a parent tag and have all the children filtered for as well. More of a genuine nesting dynamic now :-) Re: shared notebooks... You're right in that a tag-based system would allow one to pop miscellaneous notes from multiple hierarchies into a single notebook for offline and/ or sharing purposes. I see a notebook-based setup as a particular challenge as it relates to @lazydog's needs. Although I've always thought that it would be great to have "offline tags" so as to share all notes related to a single tag. That would, I think, make both sides (if it were in fact a polar thing) happy... People could continue using notebooks and use "offline tags" for sharing miscellaneous, spread-out notes... or if using a tag-based setup, one would not have to create notebooks for the purpose of sharing.

Could you expand on this please?

Cloud Outliner connects and interfaces with Evernote. What you shuffle around in one affects changes in the other. So you'll want to do your shuffling around in Cloud Outliner. There's now a 3rd-party WorkFlowy app called HandyFlowy, which exports outlines to Evernote... But it's a one-way deal... and it only exports visible/ expanded lists.

No recurring reminders in Evernote. If you own a mobile device... say, an iPhone (which is always at hand)... you could tell Siri: "Remind me every month on the 15th at 9 AM to water the plants." It's locked in forever. It literally takes 4-5 seconds to set up. A couple of weeks ago I told Siri, "Remind me every Tuesday evening at 9 PM that there's a new episode of Better Call Saul". NOTE: She hasn't let me down yet. Evernote couldn't beat that... even it they did have recurring reminders. And does it matter that it's not in Evernote? NB: Android has similar solutions. EDIT: Waaaiiiit a minute! Something tells me this thread might be an April fool's joke...

In the below GIF, you'll see 2 simple workarounds for editing the HTML (ENML) of an Evernote note on the Web Client: AlterNote Chrome extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alternote-editor/hljkfahiahjhhpmpihngnommookkneji Does not require authorization Well worth looking into for other jam-packed features... ENML Editor http://enml-editor.ping13.net/ Works via a bookmarklet Requires you to connect to Evernote for authorization

Here are 2 half-decent workarounds I've tinkered with that you can use via Chrome extensions on the Web Client: AlterNote: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/alternote-editor/hljkfahiahjhhpmpihngnommookkneji?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon Add-ons for Evernote Web App: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/add-ons-for-evernote-web/bnflfnhcfikgmmcmoghhejelmefpjhek?utm_source=chrome-ntp-icon Both extensions have other features which extend Evernote's editor... such as list sorting, etc... which might be worth looking into :-)

Looks like there are 2 native solutions for Mac, then. Additionally, on the Mac (desktop) Beta one can use Markdown formatting - including wrapping your code in `backticks`... which will automatically be converted to a code block. https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/88677-evernote-for-mac-62-beta-1-released/

@mwlodarski, it's a pity that you won't give the Evernote Calendar Connector recommended by @DTLow authorization to connect to your Evernote account (You did once upon a time with Sunrise Calendar)... It's a service rather than an app. No messing around with an extra app It will connect to your iCal You can schedule as much or as little time as you want on an Evernote note, (which Sunrise Calendar did not give you). Drag the Event frame to enlarge it and expand it's time-frame. If you change the name of the Event in iCal, it changes the Note Title in Evernote If you drag your Event to another time block, it changes the Reminder time in Evernote You can (a) create a new iCal Calendar (and custom color) and then (b) have the Evernote Calendar Connector sync with that on setup.

That's a big part of what WorkFlowy's got going for it

You could put your "saved search" syntax into a note and set up a Hotkey with something similar to PhraseExpress which will take the search parameters (text) you've selected and pop them into the search box. That might somewhat simulate what you're hoping to achieve... a saved search in a note as opposed to in the Shortcuts menu or search bar context menu. Let's say you got the feature you wanted... wouldn't it be a little clunky having to access a specific note to click on your proposed saved search link... when it's more readily accessible via the options we already have, no matter the context you're in?

Bottom line is this: don't get your (one's) hopes up. You're going to get nothing but silence from Evernote on almost everything task and reminder related, for one simple reason: Take a look through the Evernote App Center and do some preliminary digging around on the www and you will find scores of very good 3rd party Evernote apps that do just about anything you want, extracting Evernote Reminders to Calendars (Sunrise), checklist items in Evernote notes to integrated interfaces (Swipes), Evernote notes to Kanban boards (Kanbanote) and Eisenhower Matrices (Gneo), etc. There are loads of fantastic 3rd party apps that sync directly with Evernote - both ways. I'm sure you know this... The reason why Evernote will not do much more than what we currently have is that they would disenfranchise a lot of those very innovative 3rd party apps built right on Evernote's back. Take a look at the Evernote platform awards which gave a lot of these creative folk incentive to build their apps. A huge part of Evernote's expansion came directly from 3rd party apps that go all out to promote themselves and in the process point directly toward Evernote... both onramping utilities as well as those apps that grab your Evernote information. For Evernote to create their own task management interfaces beyond the Reminders list and checkboxed items within a note would be kind of impolite... and they know that. Call it a catch 22... call it what you will, but Evernote will not ramp up the task management area significantly. How could they? The last major development in this area was the Reminder itself. There's Work Chat for collaboration... but that's an uninteresting story.

Cool. In this digital day and age most don't find switching things up to be too jarring. Mwlodarski or a bunch of others might find this useful, since Sunrise Calendar is just as useful now as it ever was. The sunset part is more a halt on adding further features... but more interestingly it would be great to find an alternative to Sunrise out there. Sunrise takes 5 minutes to set up and I've found it to be easy to adapt to, since most Calendar apps are fairly intuitive. A great addition for anyone wanting to see everything on one consolidated interface. Personally I use it for pulling in iOS Reminders... and the occasional Evernote Reminder. It's an option for those who really, really, really want to easily see Evernote Reminders in a Calendar and are willing to switch things up a (teeny) bit to achieve that. As I mentioned before, Sunrise pulls in your iCloud stuff, including iOS Reminders, which, strangely, Apple hasn't gotten around to yet. Lots of plusses all round for those who are up to trying it out.

I would have come out with guns blazing about the Sunrise Calendar app, which pulls in Evernote reminders, iCal, Google Calendar... and a bazillion other things like iOS Reminders, (which not even Apple have implemented into their iCal), Trello reminders etc, etc... but sadly, it seems that Sunrise is going to be Sunset. I think I read somewhere that they are going to be working on Microsoft's Outlook and will be integrating all of the core stuff from Sunrise into their new project... but that's a story for another day. They do state that the Sunrise Apps will continue to be available in their respective app stores, even though development has come to a stop. They also have a web app for desktop. What would be interesting would be to find a substitute app that does something similar. I think this leaves a gaping gap for other developers to take up the reigns and market themselves to Evernote users who use Evernote Reminders a lot and would like to plot their reminders on a calendar. The Evernote team raved about Sunrise Calendar once upon a time. You could go ahead and test out Sunrise for now. Fully functional and really awesome. Going back to the title of this thread... a suggestion wold be to pull both iCal and Evernote Reminders (and whatever else you want to play around with) into Sunrise Calendar. Everything on one interface.

Ummm... We all know that people are the same wherever we go... We learn to live, we learn to give, etc, etc.

My thoughts exactly. To paraphrase Andy Dufresne from "The Shawshank Redemption": "Get busy hacking or get busy packing."

I agree wholeheartedly. Also, keep in mind that this is a user-run forum. We primarily try to troubleshoot and suggest workarounds and help people along their Evernote journey. Our opinions do not determine the course that Evernote takes. Personally I think better text sorting within a note would be awesome. Really. I'm rooting for that. Until that comes on the scene, we'll try to contribute in a positive light. Disparaging comments as to the "Evernote crowd" as quoted previously (@totochto) do absolutely nothing to further any cause. Just a rant, nothing more. It's always nice to engage in a healthy conversation... and @EmAyArSe, you're totally on the right track. Your comments have likely been noted by Evernote Employees who may or may not choose to comment. Welcome to the forums! You'll find a lot of constructive and helpful odds and ends here :-)

I was referring to your own creation, not helping Evernote to fix theirs. Why not produce your own product for others to pick apart and heckle the pants off? I'd like to see it.

Forget where I read this: "It is the peculiar quality of a fool to perceive the faults of others, and to forget his own." Bring on your brainchild and display it for the world to see and touch.

On Windows: after right clicking on a notebook... instead of hitting "Share Notebook", you select "Modify Sharing"... and you get: Hit the "Publish" button. @chinarut, here's my contribution to humanity with a couple of my own shared notebooks: anylineyouwant.blogspot.com - That site links to shared notebooks containing TV series subtitle files...

Evernote does not embed YouTube videos via the web clipper... but if you use the Evernote web clipper while on YouTube itself, you can clip the cover image with a play button... which looks like an embedded video, but really just has an embedded link to the YouTube video.
