And adjectives and keywords have not been used successfully and happily by millions for years? Pretty much all of the new "debate" is rehash of the prior discussions. Bottom line: Evernote made a design choice; it works for many, but not for all. Hey, user choice!! Er, horses for courses. And maybe dead horses for some...

Keep watching the Evernote Blog. You never know...

Well, another inconsequential tempest in a rusty teapot, driven by fake facts and misguided opinion... Current thread status: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdf5EXo6I68

Word on Windows certainly allows you to make multiple selections and apply the same style to all of them. It also allows you to make columnar selections and manipulate those as well. Some code editors can do this sort of stuff as well; Visual Studio can certainly do columnar selection/editing.

It would help if you posted some examples of sites you are having problems with, and what operating system/version you are using.

Moved to Feature Requests zone. Should probably be merged with the topic in the above post, as it's essentially the same thing.

Many things that involve programming and seem simple are not straightforward at all. In this instance, picking out author, date,and other metadata from a web page's text can be non-trivial indeed. What if the language is not English? Then you need to recognize whatever "written by" translates to in that language. What if there are multiple phrases "written by" in the text with different names that follow, plus maybe "author", "published by" etc, etc.? Which one do you choose? What if there's a phrase "written by an Italian poet from the 13th century"? Disambiguating plain text is not easy. That's why HTML has metadata (data about the content), so that the content provider can describe the content for a machine that reads it in a standard way. See, e.g., HTML <meta> tag. No question that this is useful data to have as part of your note, for sure, but getting it reliably is important as well. Scraping the content may accomplish that all that well....

It does seem likely that it's being turned from text into an RGB value at run-time, so the hex sequence 0xFFFFFF for that particular setting may not be found in the any of the executable's disk images. So it could be "255, 255, 255", "255,255,255", "0xFFFFFF", "0xFF,0xFF,0xFF", "0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF", "#FFFFFF", "#ffffff", etc., etc. in Evernote.exe, or possibly a separate DLL. The sequence "255, 255, 255", in ASCII, is certainly found numerous times in Evernote.exe, but my patience for spelunking this stuff is pretty low, particularly since I don't find pure white to be objectionable.

My scenario isn't a family, but I use two accounts, one for personal use, and one for my work, with shared notebooks between the two accounts; my personal account is Premium, the work account is Basic. This works well for me. I don't care about Microsoft products -- it's a false comparison: they don't do the same thing (the new word for that these days is "whataboutism"). If MS's suite did what you wanted, then we wouldn't be having this discussion; you'd just be using them. With shared accounts, you control the costs for your family. Your assumption is that everyone needs a paid account, but that's not a necessity. Of course, if you're paying out extra bucks for all of Junior's extra devices, then a Plus account shouldn't be much of an additional added cost. I'd call this a "nice-to-have", at best. In my usage, notebook creation is a very rare occurrence, so managing sharing is not a huge deal to me. Too many notebooks in Evernote, in my philosophy, means "you're doing it wrong" (I almost never create a new notebook unless one is absolutely required; I have ~25 across two accounts, and I'd have fewer if I weren't so lazy about combining notebooks that really should be together.). I'd guess that the actual need for sharing would be pretty rare: how many notebooks do you really need for your family? Granted, I'd be swapping tag management for notebook management, which is a bit of a different issue. In any case, why wouldn't a single "Family" notebook suffice? Much easier to manage, and shared reminders would fit in there nicely. Ok, maybe you want a shared notebook with your spouse, private from the kids; but that's a separate sharing arrangement than the one you use for everyone. And maybe a notebook shared between the parents and each child separately (so little Timmy has a separate one from little Sally). You still need to manage sharing... I don't see any problem here. You're going to be uploading as much with any family account as with any shared account scenario. Uploads are uploads (new content + updates to edited notes), not storage. Bandwidth is the same either way: you use zero extra bandwidth due to sharing notebooks. *shrug* Not really seeing it, nor am I seeing much of a compelling reason for Evernote to offer such a product ;it costs time and money for them to develop new UI, training, support for such things. But good luck.

As mentioned above, use of separate accounts with notebook sharing should work fine. Any of the accounts may be a paid account, so you can control costs on your own. I don't see a huge need for Evernote to provide a separate family plan. It's extra cost to Evernote to create and administer new plan types, and for what gain? But just to explore it further, a question: what would the proposed family plan have that the approach that uses separate accounts w/shared notebooks lacks? The only downside I can think of is the fact that you cannot create tags in someone else's account. And maybe the device limit on free accounts.

So what you probably should do is to add a feature request in the appropriate forum (probably Windows Desktop Product Feedback) so that other users can upvote it, comment, whatever (of course checking first to see whether someone else has already added the same request, in which case you can add your vote and comments to that topic).

Helps to specify the platform that you're referring to. The em-dash thingy doesn't appear to occur on the Windows client. Otherwise, I agree that this sort of behavior should be off in a code block. Upvoted.

Are there any other view types?

In a number of Evernote scenarios, adding a reminder to a note will "pin" it to the top of its note list (including when you are viewing it in notebooks). I use reminders for this purpose.

This also works in the Windows client.

You should post a feature request for what you want in the Product Feedback appropriate to your chosen mobile device.

You didn't mention which Evernote client you are referring to (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, web), but in the Windows client, you get an "Are you sure?" prompt when you try to delete either a notebook or a tag (the latter is distinct from removing a tag from a particular note). Notes from a deleted notebook are moved to the Trash, where it's pretty easy to identify them.

My standard take on this is to look at my coffee bill (~$10/week) and my Evernote bill (~$1.35/week). Pretty easy choice for me, given that I use Evernote every day at work, and nearly as much at home...

This is specifically not true. You may install Evernote on as many devices as you please. There is a limitation of Basic accounts in that you can have two devices active (that is syncing to that account) at one time; if you want to use a third device, you'll need to deactivate one of your two active devices. Please see: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/218558068-Devices-FAQ Again, the statement "you can only have one desktop installation with the free version" is not true. Also, Evernote isn't breaking the web version to drive more people to the paid versions, though I'll grant you that they don't seem to putting a lot of effort into updating it to be more competitive with the desktop applications; I think that that is unfortunate. I don't use it all that often, but I do occasionally, and I've never encountered any "white screen of death" (accessing both a free account and a paid account, though I also use Chrome, not Firefox); it's hard to tell what's going wrong in your case. But many paid users also use the web application; there's just no reason for them to break it. Regardless, what gazumped said is absolutely true: the desktop applications are much more fully featured than the web client (and the mobile apps, too, for that matter).

Cute, but that's a "no" on both counts. They stopped making wallets and backpacks quite a while ago, which you'd know if you visited the Evernote market. #snarkfail

Well, this post exists in an Evernote for Android subforum. If you wish to request it for some other OS, then you should make a feature request in the Product Feedback forum appropriate to your desired device (but do please try a forum search first, in case it's already been requested).

Sure about that? Did you read this post and the one that follows in the previously linked topic?

Don't expect time-frame estimates from the Evernote folks; they rarely give them out.. As @csihilling says, they've taken a step forward in the Windows client with on-demand syncing. You can learn more about what that entails in this topic (in particular look for kvitekp's comments):

Moving to Android feature request subforum

Good to hear it. I like pinned reminders (at least in the Windows client) because the reminders list can be closed, and it can be sorted independently of the note list it appears over, including arbitrary user-chosen ordering.
