This forum is about features requests. This is not a business proposal. I don't have to be knowledgeable about the workings behind, or to know the budget or the timeline, to provide a feedback. How long would it take to implement it or if it's feasible at all it's something beyond the scope of a feature request. I think it would improve readability, that's all. You don't need to explain to me that a feature has to be prioritized and accepted in order to be added.

I copied my reply to my other post before even going back to this. I knew it would be you. You really don't have anything better to do. "I was just about to add a line saying "pink elephant is relieved from answering this". I don't care about your impression. You force your view of evernote on other users and expect them to conform to how you think evernote is supposed to be used. How much exactly do you think you are contributing to this forum? You reply to almost every post. But are you really helping?"

Dedicated tags for specific Notebooks

As the latest blog post says, development on the mobile app is getting closer to the desktop version. I look forward to having the option of changing the creation date of a note in the app, since at the moment it can only be done on desktop.

I created a simple naming systems for my tags and notebooks: -They are as short as possible -If they start with the same letter, at least they don't start with the same syllable, so I can find them just by pressing two keys -They have an emoji at the end to find them more easily. But the more projects, and more notebooks, I find it difficult to find new names for tags. So it would be useful to have the option to make tags visible only in selected notebooks. Let's say I keep a notebook for clipped web articles, another one for pdfs, etc basically tuff to be read. So I'll create tags such as to-read, reading, finished etc. But they are not necessarily needed for the rest of my notebooks, so I'll just select something like "Only for..." and I'll tick the boxes of the notebooks I want them to appear in.

I am writing this after the new evernote event feature, that allows to create an internal calendar event without having to create it first in google calendar or outlook calendar. I also read that soon there will be an option to create google calendar events from evernote and it's awesome, and I'm sure you are also working on other features. But I would like to share some that maybe you are not working on and I hope you will make available: -creating an event when I am entering it as attachment: if I am in a note and I want to attach an event, I have to select one that I already created in the calendar page, and it would be useful to have a "create new event" button. -highlighted days with an event in monthly view: I use Evernote to have a comprehensive view of my notes across all notebooks, also by the time they were created to see what happened in that period, so instead of selecting each day to see if there is an event, a small icon like a dot or the number of the day highlighted would be useful -duplicate event: this is one of the features already present in google calendar. I work part-time with shifts made on a weekly basis and each friday I duplicate the most recent event for the upcoming days that might be different from the previous week. -set event for the day of the creation of the date: yesterday I digitized some notes from a class I had last week. I did not create the event in google calendar. I would like to simply enter the note, select "insert event", then "create new event" and have a side button that suggests the day those notes where taken. -easier "change creation date" button: related to the above request, I often change the creation date of a note so I have everything in chronological order related to when that thing happened, not when I created the note. It's not even possible on Android but it's a "meta" adjustment I don't have to make on the go. Since it's also possible to change the creation date into a date in the future, the notes list set by creation date turns into a planner and I have my upcoming events always on top. I know this last one is not a specific request, I'm just saying it's a small metadata that actually improves the overall organization.

Thank you for your reply. I'm just asking to be able to read a note saved on EN on my e-ink device. I don't know who pink elephant is, if it's one person or an account shared by many people at EN, but this time they clearly didn't know what they were talking about. I wrote this before EN got bought by Bending Spoons so maybe they will reconsider. I read that there is an app called Readwise Reader whose founder is interested in the e-ink market. Sadly, I found out they can read anything you save there with no privacy whatsoever.

The thing I like about tasks in Evernote compared to any other (google tasks, etc.) is that the task is integrated into a note that I can use for a project, be it a job application, a school exam, a medical treatment etc. so I have many things to do and I need to know when I have completed them. When I mark the task as done it goes grey and inactive, but I lose the important information of when it was completed.

"Typewriter Scrolling" option for Notes?
Tired Elephant replied to ndbaker's question in General Feature Requests
While Android has Jotterpad that apart from the typewriter scrolling has nothing different from other better apps, on windows you have WriteMonkey that is a true gem, if you bother to take time to learn how to use it. Not unlike Evernote. But I'm here as well because I wish I could write on EN while looking at the centre of the screen as well. -
As soon as I discovered now the tasks can be made to be recurring, I added a lot of things I have to do regularly in various areas of my life, such as admin, finance, and habits. It made a long list pretty quickly. The tasks window in the Home Page, next to the Calendar, makes a nice-looking dashboard to get an idea of what I have to do in the immediate future. However, the Google Calendar integration as it is shows only a single day. Would it be possible to have all events on a list such as the Agenda view on Google Calendar? And since the tasks sorted by deadline are a sort of agenda by themselves, why not be able to have both of them in chronological order?
