    You will most likely get no answer here. This is a user forum.

    ok - I agree with others, we might not get the truth here.

    What I can say is Evernote’s VP of Augmented Intelligence accountable for the Context feature left in May 2016.

    As may of us would agree, this “rewrite” of Evernote has been short of stellar (I will join the disappointed camp unfortunately)

    The Context feature took an engineering team to maintain along with cloud computing resources. I noticed it was being more and more obscured (esp on the mobile client) until it was removed.

    While it is just a theory, I believe many of the most sophisticated users have moved onto other platforms like Notion and Roam Research (I happen to use both with occasional Evernote use) - ending support for public notebooks without a suitable replacement was the writing on the wall for me.

    It’s sad to hear, Context, a premium feature people were paying for was removed with the assumption they would accept the churn (this is just my opinion, of course)

  2. @Chris_W i think you stumbled on something.  after I posted, I tried clicking the click embedded in this forum in my above post and for some reason, in the scenario where you click it and Evernote needs to launch, it transfers control back to Safari!

    So this does simplify things a bit and takes Notion out of the picture.

    Moderators, if it turns out this is the same issue, you are welcome to merge these threads. [EDIT: I see the threads have been merged. thanks]

    I’ve attached the screencast.

  3. @Chris_W thank you for the heads up!  I totally forgot to search the forum in frustration with this issue.

    I tried force quitting Evernote and clicked on the link in Notion and it launches Evernote on the most recent note (which is not the target note).

    I watched your first video and see that force quitting helps for you.

    Here is the shared note link verbatim:

    https://www.evernote.com/shard/s427/client/snv?noteGuid=ee7c2169-1b0b-45b8-87c8-f285352ba700&noteKey=b95c0472117cc39750492fc6e3214fd8&sn=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.evernote.com%2Fshard%2Fs427%2Fsh%2Fee7c2169-1b0b-45b8-87c8-f285352ba700%2Fb95c0472117cc39750492fc6e3214fd8&title=Proposal%2BIndex%2B%2B

    Clicking on the link above [while embedded in this Notion page] will open the app and whether the app is in the background or launches newly, it does not open the note.

  4. I found a bug where a URI is transferred to the new Evernote app and it doesn’t open the note.  I verified the account [Evernote Business] I have open is the correct account (it should switch accounts anyways)

    here is the page with the hyperlink to a shared note at the bottom of the page: https://www.notion.so/communitygarden/Waking-Up-Happy-Together-fad2bb1545fd4e5c929d1f6ab8296b1a

    the hyperlink starts with “The 12 months...

    I’ve attached a screencast with 3 scenarios

    1. clicking the hyperlink in a private Safari tab showing the shared note link is valid and opens up in Safari
    2. clicking the hyperlink in a regular Safari tab (logged into Evernote) and the note doesn’t open up in the Evernote 10 app
    3. clicking the hyperlink in the Notion app and transferring to Evernote 10 and the note doesn’t open up either.   I also verify that the note indeed is accessible in the open account in the Evernote app.  I liked the previous behavior where the shared note opened up in a Safari sub-window in Notion instead of transferring control to Evernote.

    in general, because I use multiple Evernote accounts, like to see Safari always request if I wish to open the note in Safari or transfer control to Evernote (like you see in scenario 1 in a private tab)

    I'm not seeing this in my installation

    btw  I can drag the sidebar from the left margin   
             I don't need the hamburger menu

    which iPad and version of iPadOS are you on? (EDIT: I’m just seeing you are on an iPadPro with iPadOS14.b5 in your sig)

    I tried to drag from the left margin and notes start “disappearing” (see screenshot)

    @chinarut Sorry to hear about this. Can you confirm whether or not you use an external keyboard with your iPad?

    I have a Folio keyboard attached.

    I just force quit the app and went back to the trash and I can reproduce the error without a keyboard attached.

    In fact, when I am in the trash and I select a note, a virtual keyboard attempts to pop up and slides away immediately taking the hamburger menu and magnifying glass with it.

    EDIT: my workaround of force quitting the app is fine for now.  I don’t visit the trash that often :)

  6. I took the jump and updated both to iOS14 and the new Evernote client.  Part of me is not surprised people are finding bugs so quickly and we all know this goes with the turf.  That said, I do feel this bug could have been easily been discovered before release.

    So when I navigate to my trash, I have no way of getting back.  the hamburger menu in the lower left hand corner disappears.

     

    I tried going through the other tabs and the Trash is the only tab that makes the navigation (and search icon) disappear.

    I’m on iOS14 on an iPadPro (2018)

    Is there a good alternative to Scannable for all my Android users?

    As an Android user and someone who loves the ease and use of Scannable, I really hate to admit it but I discovered my alternative is to use an iPad Pro (!).   While it’s not optimized for it, (think the iPhone app sideways at 12.9”) - it is a pleasure to use.   It’s snappy and, as I mentioned above, I can adjust auto-crop of individual pages as needed, send my scans to PDF Expert for annotation (the built-in annotation tool in Evernote no longer cuts it esp if you are using an Apple Pencil) and then save the PDF to Evernote for search and reference.

    While it’s a bit of an extreme “alternative” - it’s what I’ve settled on while upgrading my ancient (2007) MacBook to an iPad Pro.  I still use Scannable on my iPhone 5 for simpler scans that go directly to Evernote.

    As a workaround, feel free to click Allow, as this should not have any effect on your Mac or your Evernote account.

    @DTLow thanks for reporting and the update when the support team is still working on enabling my account to open tickets!

    I can confirm on desktop Safari on an iPad Pro, the footprint of the Evernote website in storage Settings (less than 1GB) doesn't reflect nearly as much as Safari requests (multiple GBs).

    I was perplexed the other day and support confirms the behavior.

  9. It’s really great to see this vote here.  I used Penultimate back in 2014 and recall being in awe of what I saw possible on my original iPad.  Fast forward to today and I admit, it’s been left in the dust by its competitor (which is I agree is kinda sad).   That said, I’m glad we have alternatives and yes, it’s dicey in regards to how they integrate with Evernote.

    I got an iPad Pro 3 weeks ago (seems like an eternity!) and after watching lots of YouTube videos and reading a lot of the input esp on this thread, I decided to get Nebo due to its superior handwriting recognition and conversion (and the higher probably Thai will show up sooner than later).

    - "More" (another three dots button at the end of the app list). Make sure NOT to press the Evernote button that pops up before the three dots at this step!

    @EN_Enduser  thanks for this tip to use the “Copy to Evernote” option!  I finally have a Nebo note in Evernote now!    I am curious if you had the same behavior that I had when using the default Share to Evernote option - does the Share pane just hang and never create a note?    That’s the issue I ran into and glad you figured out an alternative way.

  10. Hi!   This is the first time I am trying the new channels to reach support since they overhauled the system.

    I have a bug to report and when I click:   https://help.evernote.com/hc/requests/new

    I get the attached screenshot - it just logs me out.

    If I attempt to click the re-login in the upper right-hand corner,  it just brings me to my notes.

    What is an alternative way to contact technical support to report a bug while this issue is being ironed out?

  11. that experiment with evernote.com on Safari in iPadOS was short lasted.

    I have plenty of space on my device (only using 10%) and ran into a bug where I couldn’t paste a hyperlink into a note.

    Now when I open up the web client and try to paste in the note, it crashes Safari.

    I’ll try to look for the correct support channel to report this bug.

  12. +1 here - I am having this issue experimenting with Evernote web in Safari on iPadOS.

    Im guessing what is in common is those of us here have large Evernote databases (mine is over 20GB)

    It would be useful to have an option to limit the size of the cache.

    I am still grateful the iPadOS app and the web app don’t attempt to download the entire database like the desktop clients (which admittedly, has it’s own benefit working offline but I digress!)

  13. ok - i found a suitable workaround (and perhaps this is the intended use case?) 

    This works on the desktop and on the web:  create a new note and click on "Template" in the actual note body and search for "meeting notes" - it inserts the contents of the template in the desired business notebook.

    it would be nice to fix the "Use Template" button on the web to ask what notebook to create a new note based on the selected template.

    (and it while this is not web-related, it would also be nice to choose a business notebook as an import destination)

     

    Evernote - Meeting Notes - template.png

  14. hi!   I'm trying to create meeting notes in my business account and when I click on "Use Template" on this template, it always creates the note in my personal account even if I switch users in the web UI to my business user.

    What is my workaround?  I tried two:

    1. I'm not given the option to move the note from my personal to business notebook (like I used to be able to do back in 2014)
    2. on my desktop client (Windows), when I export the note and try to import the ENEX file, it doesn't ask me what notebook I want to import the notes into (so the note goes back into my personal account again!)

    wow this is frustrating.

  15. I just bit the bullet over the holidays and decided Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and a few key Linux ports were stable enough to keep a 2007 MacBook humming & stay off an unsupported Mac OS X 10.7.5.  I did have to come to grips and let go of the desktop Evernote client to achieve this.  I started to realize I really only use the desktop to do large scale organization a few times a year (and even this habit is fading).

    Then I just saw this in the 2020 update 🤯

    The re-engineered web client (in limited release), the new mobile clients (in first preview), and the (as yet unreleased) new clients for Windows, Mac, and (yes!) Linux, along with the ongoing re-architecture and data migration we’ve been doing in the cloud, will set up Evernote to be able to innovate and ship with quality at a pace we haven’t seen in a long time.

    These infrastructural changes sound very impressive & glad some of us have been patient as we know the last few years have been rough at the edges sometimes.

  16. I am on Evernote 8.17.3 on an iPhone 8 on iOS 12.1.4

    i don’t have to force quit & while it’s very subtle, the delay between keystrokes is noticeable and annoying.

    I’ve been an iOS user since 2007 and ran an experiment to evaluate Android for 22 months.  I’m happy to be back to iPhone but to be honest, of all the apps I depend on, I was a bit shocked to have a better experience on an entry model Android (j7).  Something went really downhill the last 2 years in the iOS dept over at Evernote!  The iOS app used to be *very* good.

    I hope this gets fixed quickly.

    I’d like to see a temporary workaround, if anything, for new notes while they sort out the bigger picture.

     

     

  17. I'm having trouble getting the public URLs for existing public notebooks and found this thread  - I actually had no idea this has been an ongoing battle since the thread was started in Aug 2014.   As a fellow educator (@GrumpyMonkey, I appreciate all your shares), it not only makes me sad, it makes me sad to listen to all the reactions around the removal of this feature - I feel for each and every one of you.   I'm wondering in Sept 2015, has this menu item been removed again?  I no longer see "Publish" in the right-click menu...where are we supposed to copy the URLs of existing public notebooks?

     

    I have to admit, this is the kind of turmoil around a feature makes me question Evernote's commitment as well.   I have no issues with a zillion changes to the UI - as long as the underlying use case to enable Evernote users to share knowledge publicly without the use of emails and/or logins is preserved.  I could care less if I had a "publish public notebook" option through Work Chat - awkward, yes, functional, we'll live.

     

    We collect, gather, and collaborate knowledge with an intent to share at some point in our lives - it is only natural as you become a subject matter expert, that at some point you will feel comfortable "going public" and make a broader impact.   This is the fundamental nature of contribution and if you take a moment to think about it, public notebooks constitute how our Evernote community, as a whole, contributes to the world - it is our way of making a mark in the world as a community!   Public notebooks enable our Evernote community to make a difference with just about any person on the planet who has access to the net and public content feasibly makes an impact well beyond the lifetime of account users.   This is the nature of the Internet, hardly a new concept.

     

    Now I realize there is a need for people to keep notes private - I have plenty :)   I just believe every Evernote user has the right to share publicly.   To deny this right feels like the wrong direction and to be quite frank, a loss of freedom.

     

    I do think Postach.io was a step in the right direction and now that the offering is no longer freemium, we've limited the ability to share our notes yet again.  I always thought Evernote should have acquired and integrated Postach.io to replace its dated public notebook interface in some way.   Something that has always been superior about the public notebook interface is how it handled note links between notes in the same notebook not to mention its search interface.

     

    Thanks @GrumpyMonkey for sharing your public notebook - you are an inspiration indeed.   Here is a public notebook I built for an intentional dance community that is dear to my heart - it contains a guide written in 2011 that was put in the Creative Commons:

     

    https://www.evernote.com/pub/chinarut/dancelabs-executivebinder#st=p&n=8945e4d6-14e3-4848-a1a3-9985d93c72a7

     

    It make me sad the blood sweat & tears of countless volunteers over the course of over 14 years may not live publicly through Evernote's channels.   Sure, we have published to a variety of other channels like wikis and social networks - Evernote just happens to be a tool that makes the job of a community historian a near zero effort.

     

    So I'm going to step off my soapbox...if you are someone who has a public notebook you feel quite passionate about, make yourself be heard.   Post the link to a public notebook (yours or perhaps even someone else's) - help us understand the impact you feel it being public makes and why Evernote is the perfect tool for the job!

  18. nice to find folks in the mindmap conversation! :)

     

    if you're open to a 2.5D representation, you might want to look at TheBrain - I've been using it since 1999.

     

    You can insert "note links" into nodes like this one:

     

    https://webbrain.com/brainpage/brain/498E34F8-61E2-C7AF-70B7-7E8281379166/thought/1#-2768

     

    my biggest pet peeve is link rot in Evernote is a more common occurrence than I like to admit - moving notes around notebooks (esp between personal and business) changes the note link URL despite the note having a GUID (my current understanding) - this is a topic for another thread - just be aware of it if you haven't discovered it already.

     

    So I'm currently evaluating if Postach.io is a solution for this:

     

    https://webbrain.com/brainpage/brain/498E34F8-61E2-C7AF-70B7-7E8281379166/thought/1#-2851

     

    feel free to poke around - TheBrain is really flexible tool and easier experienced than explained!!

  19. Hi!  I first noticed note links are not preserved when importing/exporting notes.   now that I've upgraded to Evernote Business, I'm noticing the same behavior and it's a bit of a bummer given I would imagine Evernote's goal is to make the transition from Free and Premium users to Business a smooth path.

     

    I have over 10k notes and thought it would be nice to move all my business related notes to business notebooks and let the discovery mechanism do its magic especially as I add new colleagues - Evernote Business does an amazing job with information hiding as you don't need to join every notebook.

     

    While it's not a complete showstopper for me, what I am now starting to notice is how hesitant I am to move notes to my business notebooks in fear I will break any notes previously linked to the note I am moving.   even simply moving a note to business and then changing your mind 5 seconds later results in possible loss of meta-data.   point being: loss of freedom upgrading to Business - not good, literally, for business!

     

    I would love to see more support for Premium users to partition their data to Evernote Business to help grow their business.  This is what I'll be doing for the next year!
