    Do you do find out task if you there is no tag?

    I build "Main Map" page for each project and tag it with tag "Main Map". Those pages are filtered on "Home" with filtered search. 

    Main map page of each project contains links to task pages.

    I build template for task pages. In that template I put link to main page, precedent and dependent tasks. Those pages are the only one to contain tasks.

    I also use saved searches to find pages with updated tasks in past 24 hours and past 7 days.

    Yep, searches and tags can make it better but I have some kind of mental block for that. I guess my brain love "Notion" approach.

     

    Also, I use "Task" page to review my various task pages.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  2. I use Tasks as a main task tracking feature. I almost don't use reminders and don't use tagging for tracking (I know that EN search is superb but I am lazy to create a meaningful custom tagging system, I just hate to create personal meta data for data management, I guess I am more a folder tree guy).

    There are issues such no sub tasking, task dependency but I use tables and checkbox for more detailed sub tasking.

    In the end, its note taking app that tries to add more value to it's users.

    For more quick personal tasking I use Any.DO

     

     

     

  3. Cloud cost is not such a major factor for SAAS companies. The biggest cost are R&D and then S&M (well, at least for companies where I saw the financial reports).

    I work in tech finance and cloud cost is not that big of deal (Not talking about cloud AI, just your vanilla cloud). Just today I heard a CTO of tech firm saying they got 100K USD credit to leave their previous cloud host (migrating between clouds is a thing). After the credit is over, you call and cry for a little more .

    The biggest cost for SAAS are R&D and then S&M (Flunky sales team can ruin a firm).

     

    My hunch is that Evernote is traying to increase their ARR metrics. This became the holy grail of SAAS companies. In simpler terms, this represent recurring revenue. If you got one, you fly it high. If Evernote move is successful their evolution will jump high. Who knows, there might be a purchase in the horizon.

  4. I will try to translate from corporate speak to Hooman:

    They want to increase prices but don't want to anger current customers.

    So the battle plan is:

    Let's turn existing Premium to Legacy program, meaning freezing prices and features.

    The new kids on the block and current Premium users who saw the light will turn to brand new Premium program with higher prices and more features.

     

    Let's face it, Evernote is a SAAS (Software As Service firm) so increasing prices is paramount but due to loyal fanbase, they need to calm us down with Legacy program.

    I guess their plan was built by two people: The first one had the bright idea to increase prices, the second one had the joyful role writing the email explaining it.

  5. I got Crashplan and added Evernote folder to backup.

    As I understand, Evernote is now cloud only so this become irrelevant.

    In the meantime I pretend that nothing changed and if CrashPlan backing up, good for him.

     

    Last week googled about Cloud to Cloud backup, nothing meaningful showed up.

    My main backup strategy is to pretend I will notice massive deletion and scream on Evernote support team.

  6. I actually like the new version and its look.

    But I also feel the pain of Power users that used Evernote to the max and now their workflow is damaged / gone / changed.

    The good thing is that the updated are coming fast.

    Also, Evernote team should be more open about roadmap. Color tagging was used by me a little bit, but it seems that some folks used it in a big way.

     

    I had similar experience few years ago when workplace Outlook database was migrated and i lost all my tags.
