Here is my DashBoard ↓ Note is saved as a shortcut (CTRL+4) and I check it daily to be reminded of multiple tools I have to use for my work. It has links to other notes if I have to drill down to as well as File Links that would open up a spreadsheet.

The web app is missing a lot of keyboard shortcuts I use in the desktop version. To me that is a big deal, for others it may not be. One of the versions of the web app does not show the PDF files, it only shows the icon so you need to open it up in a new tab to see what the tab is. The new version is similar to the desktop so you can see it within the built-in PDF viewer but that version was soooooo slow for me on my last laptop so it was not working out. When you insert an image to your note, the web app was dropping it to the bottom of the note instead of where I wanted it to be. The Copy past of images was not working for me on the web app either. The new web app version did not allow me to clear reminders so I had to switch to the old version there again. I am not sure if the desktop app is better but it definitely works better for my style and workflow.

I did a "Created last year today" search in Evernote (created:day-365 -created:day-364) and found a note about Tangle. What was the outcome of the Tangle? Did anything come out of it?

Email I received yesterday at 11:51pm from Charlotte has incorrect links. The discussion link opens up the June 4th video, and the YouTube link says 404 not found.

Ian Small seems to be very genuine and transparent. It feels like he is not trying to act like he has all the answers or everything it great, he is really lowering his defenses and coming out as vulnerable as can be for a CEO which is such a rare characteristic lately. Great job with these videos, it is really creating a synergy among the community and the developers in my opinion. Thank you!

Now I am up to 20K notes and depending on the computer speed varies significantly. I installed on a desktop the other week since my laptop was not working, and it was really fast on that computer. I wouldn't complain about that speed for sure and that was a decent computer as far as processor and RAM goes. But the key to Evernote is to "remember everything" right so that means if you use it like your brain's extension you will eventually get to high number of notes, thus, it should be a fairly quick system no matter the size of the database or the number of notes in my opinion.

I have a workaround that works for me from V6.7 on the Windows app. When I reference Evernote links in Todoist, if I select the note and right click with the mouse and select copy internal link, it will copy the WEB LINK that starts with https://www.evernote.com/shard/..... BUT, If I do CTRL + ALT + L keyboard shortcut within the note, it copies the APP link that starts with evernote:///view/.... I am not sure why but it works for me. Again, this might be an older version thing too with the Windows app. Try that out.

It was not my intention, I apologize if it came out that way.

Yup! Another similarity, when people wanting CD | DVD drives in their laptops. Apple cut them out, whether you like them or not but they knew tech is going away from hard-media. You can cry about your CD | DVD backups or stuff all day long but it too became an obsolete product. I am not saying "notebooks" are obsolete, all I am saying is that everybody should have an open mind about ways to do something better even if it is against our current methods, beliefs and biases. Our biases control a lot ... and I think this is definitely one of them.

I hate to say this and this is also going against what you are telling us not to do but I must say it: This is similar to: When Apple introduced the soft keys in a phone (introduction of iPhone), people saying, quit giving us soft | electronic keys, give us bigger keys so we can type with hard keys with our Blackberrys. My point is, (which I posted before) folder structure (which I say is the same as notebooks) is the old style of thinking. After MS DOS, with the Windows introduction, we all got programmed to have a folder structure. And it is a really hard habit to break, everybody can visualize it easily and get accustomed to it quickly as it mimics our psychical world. It is coming from our physical world and the way we see things. But electronics world does not really need to mirror the physical world. A file does not need to be in one space unlike how we file a physical paper. A file, document, a note can belong to many categories.Thus, the need for tags. Due to the folder | notebook structure, a note can be in only one notebook. So it is actually against the natural way our brains file things. We pull information based on categories which resemble tags. I do understand the people who wants more notebooks and want to stick with notebooks, for the "tag people", that is like requesting faster horses, because you want your horse carriage to go faster. Other see it; dude there is a way better way of doing this, if you would only give it a try....

That would have been my first resource as I use TaskClone with Todoist and Evernote however it is not on their task app list yet. I think there will be a way to sync Microsoft To-do with OneNote eventually, I saw couple of user requests when I did a search. It also works with Microsoft Flow, maybe look into that too along with Zapier and IFTTT. But I think this will be a tough integration to do at this time.

Unfortunately, there aren't many customization options at this time when it comes to stuff like that. I would love to see more options to customize the left panel for sure. Icons, colors, text sizes etc.

Just an FYI, MS Outlook new email composing window will close with the ESC key. However, I would agree with this request too. Although, I generally do not pop notes out, and but when I do, I have accidentally hit ESC many times. Up voting.

I am with you on that one. I never created similar tags because I misspelled it or used uppercase. I start typing and select the pop up, hit enter, it is done. Also, with the 80 | 20 rule, out of my 297 tags I probably use 20% of it most of the time, so those tags I know by heart by now. Plus my text expander helps a lot, for example "tgday" gives Tag:"!Daily" or "tgch" gives tag:"Cheat Sheet" in the search box anyway so I don't have to remember the spelling, I just need to remember my text shortcuts.

I don't have Surface Go but this similar problem happens to me sometimes at my home PC. I click on the app, no UI and I will even get the reminder pop ups. I generally do the CTRL + ALT + DEL to go the task manager and END TASK for all Evernote related items. Generally, there are many processes running, so I end them all and retry it. See if that works for you.

He does make really good points for sure. I think the "legacy app" statement was powerful, if it goes towards people having to use it because it is time consuming to export 10,000 notes into a new system, that will be a big shame for Evernote. I hope the development of the app follows the marketing efforts and the new logo for sure. We shall see.

I just tried inserting a PDF into a note in OneNote, and I must admit it is not bad! Moving the PDF within the note is kind of nice and you can place two PDFs side by side which can provide really nice comparison opportunities. And I am not a fan of the PDF viewer that was introduced in 6.8 (windows app) which is another reason why I am on 6.7. The PDF in OneNote looks like how it is in Evernote pre 6.8. I may play with OneNote a little bit more from that sense. Another thing about OneNote that was not sitting well with me is the forced page size. You started with a letter size page no matter how big or long your note was. It seems like it is now a big blank canvas but still feels like I am wasting space when I type in a short note. I like the look of Evernote notes when it comes to that. This complaint (!) sounds stupid but that's how I felt at the time.

I agree, that is a huge advantage. I am trying to use more Microsoft Teams with my team and I just added the OneNote tab to a channel. I can easily see the benefit there by itself. You can have project notes that everybody can see and edit etc. I used to use OneNote and I think it is a great note taking app but I think it falls short for storing documents and tagging for my use at least. I will continue to play with it under the Microsoft Teams tab to see if it has changed a lot since my times back in 2013ish.

I use Evernote to manage appointments with VR reminder a day or two ago. Can we write notes on a calendar? This would make my appointments appear on this calendar, as on a notebook. This is what Google Translate gave me so I am not positive. But I think, you want to use IFTTT or Zapier to sync your reminders to a calendar app. I would start with checking those two services out.

Nicely stated. We do not know what exactly they are working on or where the real priorities are. We only "perceive" what is happening behind the doors by what is being shown. They might have been working on an amazing V7.0 for Windows and just putting band aids on 6.x versions, we do not have a way of knowing. It is an "indicator" like you said. And when people are so frustrated with the core functions of the app such as disappearing cursor, notes disappearing, or being overwritten, a marketing effort that does not solve these issues frustrate people. I think that is easy to comprehend. Going back to the sports analogy, your team is sucking, they need to be practicing shooting, improve passing etc. Instead, they announce that they have new jerseys and been practicing a new celebration move. You don't know if during training they are practicing the fundamentals you expect but the announcement make you believe that their focus was somewhere else. There is information you try to relay and there is the perceived information. Perceived information may be significantly different that what is going on or what you are trying to relay sometimes. Nonetheless, I sure hope the rebranding is getting the employees pumped up and it is a new direction for addressing many fundamental issues that have been frustrating especially windows app users.

Are you using a third party app to modify notes? The reason I am asking is that it happens to me when I use "Taskclone" which takes my checklist items and syncs them to Todoist but if I modify the note while this process is happening I will have a conflicting note as they are also modifying my note to put a symbol in front of the check boxes. Another thing to consider when dealing with conflicting notes is 3rd party apps that can edit your notes.

I love Trello but I would consider it in a complete different category. I cannot see how it can be an alternate to Evernote, you can use it in conjunction with Evernote for sure and it can supplement nicely for any Kanban board style planning. I just can't see it being an alternate to Evernote...for me. I am sure someone can come up with a way to use it, I couldn't at this time.

Unfortunately, I don't. However, found this online, might be worth checking out for you: https://alternativeto.net/software/penultimate/?platform=windows

I would love to. But I use Windows at work. Mac is at home for personal use. Thinking about it, I should give it a try at home. I know you have shared some of your scripts in a topic before, is that one of those you shared?
