I wasn't sure of what I thought about blocks but it seems to work nicely especially when you insert a block to the right or left. It nicely aligns things for sure and you can change the size with dragging the invisible divider. I thought it was kind of cool.

This is so true for me too!! So odd but it really is true. Right now I am messing with Nimbus and I think it does a lot of things right but I just can't bring myself to leave Evernote. Is it the elephant, is the colors, is it my 28K notes? I don't know but I am really hoping for V10 to be a great app very soon and I am not feeling this unease anymore.

I don't think we can be confident about anything right now wince we are not really hearing solid roadmaps or explanations from the developer team, thus all we can do is assume at this time unfortunately.

From what I can tell, you can change the "default" font within a note with the "UPDATE" option as seen below. So within the same note, everything will match that. However, I tested it out to see if the next note I created after that will use that font, it did not. We can assume this option will come with the "Preferences" option that is to be added later on.

That is my biggest worry. I can workaround lack of features but if it is going to be as slow as it is right now, we have a major issue (or at least I do). Right now, I type a tag in, it takes a second or two to register. Last night, I moved a tag, the pop up says it is moved, but the tag was still in the same location for a while. I waited and waited, it finally moved. This morning, I did the same move (since I did not move all the tags with that slowness) with the remaining moves on V6.25 at work and it was instantaneous which I had taken for granted from a Windows app and NOW am very grateful for. Similarly, I move a note to a different notebook, pop up says it is moved, but I still see the same note for a while. This is an issue with my workflow since I have a default notebook called Collection Bucket which I process and by processing I move the notes after deciding what they are, and move onto the next one. This is very fast and nice on the legacy app. In short, the delay and the lag is very concerning to me for the future of my usage.

It does basic calculations at the very bottom of a table. For example ↓

And these are on the remote desktop which has way more processing power and memory than my laptop of course. Again takes up the most CPU compared to anything that is running. This does not look normal to me but I am not the expert here at all.

So when I am on the local desktop, it is consuming the most memory for sure, right now as I type this it is taking up the most memory and I am not even doing anything in it. I attached screenshots from it while, I was moving a note, or assigning tags.

Mine is painfully slow!!! I have tried it on a remote desktop, local machine (laptop), local desktop at home....and all 3 is below my standards. The lag is beyond noticeable. I can understand it won't be instantaneous but if I am waiting for note the go away after I moved it to a different notebook, that is an issue for me. My next question then is why is it so different for many users? Is it the number of notes? And since the legacy app works fast on the same computer, I would conclude that there is an issue here aside from the performance or the capability of the PC.

Generally speaking, are electron apps slower than native desktop apps that we had been used to before? Generic question to understand the electron apps better and whether I should just prepare myself for slow apps?! What are the limitations to the electron apps and the advantages?

Great point and interesting, I have not had a chance to set the reminder in V10 yet since it is so slow for me to use, but I just checked it out and this again does not make sense in a WINDOWS APP. Makes sense for iOS etc. but where I can type in with a keyboard I would like to set the reminders to what I would lke.

It was on the Mac version. And I think it was one of the well kept secrets. I don’t use my Mac for work stuff so I never used it much but when I did I thought it was a good feature to have on the windows app.

I just received the same response too from them too. They do respond which is nice by the way. I am going to continue to experiment with it until V10 speeds up for me.

I was wondering this about the number of the notes and the size of the database. I have 28,893 notes as of this morning, so if the new electron based platform is not going to handle this, it will be a really big concern/issue for me as I cannot operate on this slowness right now. It is contradicting the purpose of a "productivity" app. I am really sincerely hoping that the speed issue is resolved otherwise I am not sure how long V6.25 will be in service and working. Time will tell. Related to this subject, I know there has been talks about making all platforms look and feel the same which is really great but I never realized (watching the behind the scene videos) that the windows app will almost become like a web based app. Not sure if I missed it but this was really a shock for me to see how much it slowed down. I was never a fan of the web app since I had the same problem but I always used the web app so not a big deal for me. I think if you are not a heavy user like with 10K + notes, then web app thus the similar electron v10 app would work for majority of the people but for rest of us, I think it will present a major issue to resolve.

I emailed him about some feature requests and comments, "he" (if that is him) did reply to me which was nice. I will also ask him the same question too, see what he will respond with.

Do you think it will be resolved? I mean this is probably a fundamental issue with the app right? It is not like they released it on purpose to be slow and then they can "open it up" to be faster? I am not a software developer so I don't know but it does worry me. I think people (including developers I assume) are focused on the lack of features so it makes me more worried about the future of Evernote for me. And if this windows app is the "mirror" of the web app of Evernote, I am not sure if they are going to try to address it as I have always found the web app to be too slow for me.

I use the CTRL + ; myself a lot. For the new version, Try CTRL + SHIFT + D for the time.

I got really lucky with this. I was installing it on a work computer on the remote desktop. So I did not have admin access, when the removal utility asked for the password, I hit cancel since IT wasn't around. So it did not remove it and I have both installed. That would have made me even more mad, if I had to get 6.25 reinstalled and recreate my setup, so I get the frustration of the users for sure.

I just paid for the monthly subscription to test it out. $4.99/month...worth the risk for sure. There are definitely features that I would love to have in Evernote. Right now there are keyboard shortcuts for a lot of the stuff I would use What I like is the separate side area for the tasks you can create. I thought it was a really good idea. You can add blocks to the "Above, right, left, below" which is neat and you can have different background colors for those blocks. What is lacking from my workflow is that if you add an Excel file to the note, you cannot open it within the note, you have to download it. I keep some Excel files in Evernote that I can access from anywhere without having to use a cloud storage like DropBox etc. so Evernote is definitely better there. Evernote has the card view, there is only list view in Nimbus. I was not able to open a note in a separate window, so Evernote has the advantage there. But if you are comparing V10, the speed of Nimbus is way better (for my setup at least) since I cannot really use Evernote v10 right now with the delay. Oh, I like the color tagging of the notes for sure, another good organization tool. Still testing both out.

Speed. I’m getting 3-6 second lags when I do something simple like click on a note or using Ctrl+N for a new note. That’s gonna add up for me. I move fast in this app (or used to anyway). This one is HUGE for me. I, too, move very fast in this app (through all the apps actually) and I can live with lack of features (to a certain extent) if I have to (which I wouldn't want to if other apps provide it) but I CANNOT live with an app that is soooooo slow and not responsive. Right now, I click nothing happens, wait for the delay then I see a response. That is really not going to work. I SINCERELY hope they can find a solution to this as my life is also in Evernote. I know 6.25 is not going to be here forever thus I am worried about V10.

I hear ya. I am not a fan of V10 at all. What you quoted above was from my post in 2018. V10 wasn’t even a possibility back then. Those were the good times....before the dark times.....before the empire (some Star Wars reference for non-fans)

You cannot get into the note editor with the keyboard. You can move around with the TAB pretty much everywhere which is nice but not being able to get "in" the note is the most important part of the keyboard moving. If you are within the note, you can CTRL + TAB into the title but once you leave the title with another CTRL + TAB, you cannot get back with the TAB. It takes you to the reminder and tag area now instead of going back. If they can fix the speed and this keyboard, it will be a lot better for me as a start.

Interesting choice of screenshot of the notes "EN alternative" tag.

Thanks! It was bothering me too and now it is fixed. Small victories.
