I have no bias against Linux users. But the point *has* been belabored. EN has spoken.

Just to be clear, Linux users have already made their desires known to Evernote; the lengthy (and aging) topic here being one bit of evidence.Additionally, "as a group of [open source] computer users", if you don't like the existing third party apps, please feel free to create another one, using EN's API. I even seem to recall that baumgarr has offered up Nixnote as open source...??? Yep.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/nevernote/

It may not be that it's too hard. It may simply be that it's not a priority, since EN's niche is collecting, organizing & retrieving info. If the info is securely encrypted, EN would not have access to the encryption password & would not be able to index the data. Please search the board on encryption, if you want more info.

Evernote does not post their roadmap or ETAs.

Please stop cross posting. WRT testing across all platforms...therein lies the rub. Additionally, it simply may not be high on EN's priority list.

Tags can be nested more than one level.

We are not making excuses. We simply have an opinion that is different from yours. I put spell check way low on the list because I'm a pretty good speller & keyboarder & proof important things multiple times. And like GM said, most of my notes are for my eyes only.

That trumps me. My account was created April 15, 2008. My fifth anniversary will be Monday!

LOL!!! That was posted after I'd trialed the beta & decided EN was not for me. But before I'd returned to EN in Oct 2008. And apparently it was never linked to, in all the subsequent nested notebook threads. Or at least I don't recall seeing it, if it was.

Thanks for posting that link, GM. I don't recall ever seeing that & have Evernoted it for future reference.

Do you really not see the irony of this??? That is the strength of Evernote. And it's why descriptive titles, tags, keywords & notebooks are far better than restrictive nested folders/notebooks. Especially when you have a lot of notes.

There are no nested notebooks in Evernote. Notes reside in notebooks. Notes cannot reside in stacks. Stacks simply group notebooks. That's why stacks are called stacks instead of notebooks. ;-)

This has been discussed a lot already. Please search the board for more info. Also, if something is truly/securely encrypted, the host does not have it. So if you forget your encryption password, the host cannot send it to you or help you recover it. IOW, your encrypted data is gone.

I don't know that they've stated 'why'. But my guess is that it probably has at least a little bit to do with the fact that EN lives on so many platforms & devices. First, there's the stability/compatibility issue. Second, many times, folders are nested a lot of levels deep. It's often a PITA to drill down to the folder you want. OTOH, when you can just select a tag, it's much easier. That's on a desktop computer. It would be at least as problematic on a smaller device like a phone, if not more so.

While I can understand your desire for an educational discount, sometimes part of the key to being a 100 year company is having the income to support such a venture. IDK why it was discontinued. But ROI may have been a factor.

Really??? Like what? I've yet to see anything that's really a true competitor of Evernote. The usual comparison is OneNote & even that is not really a true competitor. look at your PM Why are you PM'ing me? The apps (only two? - I thought they were "[springing] up like mushrooms after rain"?) you mentioned are not top secret. And so far, I'd have to say although some users find these apps useful, they really are not on the level of an EN competitor. In so many ways. not yet, to you already better, to me. Like I said, "some users find these apps useful", I'm glad they work for you. But the reality is neither of them can really be considered a competitor of Evernote. Not even close.

There are no sub notebooks in EN. You can group notebooks by putting them into a stack.

Actually, there are some threads with very recent replies (as in just a few HOURS before *your* post), such as the first two links below. The reason some threads have no reply may be b/c people don't use the search function to see if their request has been addressed before & the regulars on the board get tired of posting the same reply to the same question. The search function is your friend. http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/35437-suggestion-ability-to-lock-changes/ http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/35413-can-i-lock-my-note/ http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/22032-lock-a-note-function/ http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/28111-request-lockunlock-individual-notes-for-windows/ http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/18706-how-to-lock-notes-against-deleting-or-editing/ http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/25110-request-lock-evernote-make-notes-read-only/

I only added my post b/c I think it's unclear if OP is trying to make a stack or nest them. So I think your answer was very good & I only added mine in case OP is trying to make nested stacks. ;-)

Stacks cannot be nested & notebooks canot be nested. Stacks can contain notebooks but not other stacks. Notebooks cannot contain other notebooks or stacks. For more intricate organizing, you can use tags, descriptive titles and "keywords".

Evernote does not sync between devices, just as most (all?) cloud based apps behave. They sync via the cloud. If you do not fully understand cloud based syncing, you're most likely going to lose data somewhere along the line. It sounds like you were not regularly syncing your computer/droid & so the only data in your account is what was in the cloud.

I simply consider it a civic duty to raise these issues... most Linux users have spent a long time assuming that they won't be supported regardless of the money they absolutely do have to spend... and most companies assume that Linux users are mostly spotty kids with no money to spend... the cycle perpetuates. Meanwhile Humble Bundle repeatedly proves that Linux users are typically prepared to pay more on average for software and services than other users. If that sometimes means raising an issue like this, then so be it.... and your implication that I should not raise these issues and should just keep quiet an move just makes me consider you to be part of the problem. I don't necessarily want to labour the point, but at the same time... it's long past time that as a group of computer users we made our presence known. Sorry, but I'm not part of your problem b/c I have no say, whatsoever, in whether EN will make a linux client or not. This is EN's proclamation. I don't know why that's so hard for so many people to wrap their heads around. What I *am* saying is that you're much like someone who continues to argue with a judge who has ruled & left the courtroom. Rather than bicker back & forth as to whether there is relevance/profit in adding an EN linux client, your time would be better spent finding the app that you will feel comfortable with. WRT "making your presence known"... yeah, well good luck with that. It's not like EN doesn't know y'all exist. And, it's not like they don't like you guys. They've made a business decision, plain & simple. There are stats somewhere either on the message board or podcasts regarding linux users vs Mac/Windows/iOS/Android/etc. Hell, for all I know, maybe the stats show there are 30 million linux users out there eager to drop $45/year if EN produced a linux client. (I'm pretty darned sure that's not the case, but let's say that for the sake of the argument.) But the bottom line is that EN has chosen to not do one. It's their business on the line. Their jobs on the line. Their mortgage/car payments/kids' school books on the line. The fact that you don't like their decision is something you'll have to deal with. And again (last time)...it's really, really, really simple. If you don't feel comfortable with dealing with the web client and/or third party apps, you would be better served finding an app that you DO feel comfortable with rather than lobbying for a linux client.
