  1. many thanks for the software, evernote! i rarely had problems with it and it helped me organise all my stuff. i first started using evernote in 2019 when i bought an old blackberry mobile phone to try it out. it came with an evernote app that hadn't been updated since 2015 and still worked perfectly for my use cases. now i'm moving to joplin because: * i want to support an open-source project (joplin offers a hosted solution for a fee) * i want an android app i can install on all my android devices (not just on those with google play store) * i want a native linux app i've found that joplin is missing ocr, which i very much liked with evernote. to solve this i've installed paperless-ngx on my server online. from the above you can probably tell that i'm not the average evernote customer. it's been fun and i hope evernote continues to flourish! maybe i'll be back one day
  2. The web client works on all operating systems that are supported by a modern browser. The desktop app doesn't 😕
  3. This is quite a long thread and I may have overlooked something. Just wanted to add that SMS is not secure. It does not support end-to-end encryption but generally uses whatever the network provider thought was a good idea back in 1998. RCS is a lot better here, but apple refuses to support it. So basically we're stuck at this stage with #SOME_ADDITIONAL_APP. I personally use 1password because it seems not to have had a security beach (yeah, I know. This rock protects you from bear attacks). I can certainly see a strong case for moving to managing your own passwords and codes (for the tech savvy).
  4. The reviews on the play store are pretty suspect, if you ask me. The last time I checked they were overwhelmingly of similar length: something I would not expect if they had been written by humans.
  5. Evernote offers an API so that theoretically someone could roll their own kanban board and store the data on the evernote servers. Practically speaking there aren't that many such things available because programming stuff like that is not so easy 😕 btw, have a look here: https://www.kanbanote.com/
  6. off-topic am i the only one who finds it sad that blackberry no longer makes phones? i loved having a physical keyboard on my phone i could type reasonably quickly without looking at the keyboard. nowadays there are of course so many phone keyboards with the ability to swipe over the letters for example, but physical keyboards were even better. maybe not totally off-topic. blackberry is the reason i got into evernote. in 2019 i got an old blackberry os 10 device on ebay and one of the few apps on it that still worked well was the native evernote client. after that i got a blackberry key 2 which i used for about 2 years, but because its bootloader never got hacked i couldn't update the os to a more recent version of android (talking to all the CEOs of phone companies which are reading this post: please give me a way to unlock the bootloader! if your phone is any good, the community will port the latest AOSP to it and you won't have to do anything! There are android phones from 2010 which still get the latest version of AOSP ...).
  7. you can access your evernote data programmatically. have a look here: https://dev.evernote.com/doc/
  8. I don't see the problem here. if the apps all implement the same api then end-2-end encryption would run on the payload.
  9. mm, exporting tags would probably be useless unless you know how to import them into the other software 😕 unfortunately there is no standardised format for note-metadata, as far as I know. The world seems to have coalesced around some-dialect-of-markdown for notes, however. it would be nice if evernote would offer a way to sort-of, half-export a note in markdown as well as it can. This is just one more example of why open standards are a good idea. However, open standards tend to evolve slower than the applications that use them, so lots of incompatible extensions to the standard tend to be created 😕 Take for example chat apps. in the old days there was an open standard called XMPP (or Jabber). Google used this for its first chat app, found that the standard didn't cover all the functionality google wanted to offer, so they added an open extension to it. Nobody implemented the open extension apart from Google. The immediate result was that every other messaging service offered ways to import your contacts from google while making it impossible to export contacts from their own service. The end result is that there are now hundreds of different messaging services which are either a/ trying to get others to implement their open-source protocol (google) or b/ trying their best to remain as incompatible as possible with other messaging services (facebook, apple, microsoft ...). Sorry, that last paragraph was rather off-topic. the state of messaging services is something that really annoys me ...
  10. On my device the android app opens links in chrome. There doesn't appear to be an in-app browser used.
  11. Just to try to make something clear here, because i misread PinkElephant's comment the first time i read it. Data stored on Evernote's servers is to the best of my knowledge stored in a way so that the large Evernote server applications can read it. This is necessary to allow indexing and OCR to run (this is still done on the servers isn't it? Not locally on the clients)
  12. I still have the sharing problem every now and then. Do you get this too, @agsteele ? if not, maybe i can delete the cache and reinstall (I'm on a pixel 6 btw) I've never tried to sort a notebook, but i only have a couple of thousand notes, so it will probably be a lot quicker for me anyway.
  13. i just want to say that it's really rare for a software to be "done". quite apart from bugs or performance improvements (and it's fairly likely that every non-trivial app can be updated for one of these reasons), there is often new functionality to add and software Evernote interacts with could change something about their interfaces. For this non-trivial programs will either change with time or they will become superseded by other apps. The question is, what different strategies are there for a software team to update the program they work on? Classically there are two popular models. These are called "waterfall" and "agile development". To simplify greatly, waterfall involves larger changes happening rarely while agile development consists of many small changes. For SAAS (software as a service--for example, a web site or a piece of software on a device with package management), agile development is generally regarded as a superior method. For large stand-alone software products which are evaluated over months by corporations before being deployed (like microsoft office), the waterfall model has advantages. Evernote stands somewhere between the two. The web interface can update itself everytime you refresh the page, the android/iOS (and i hope Linux) versions get updated automatically by the package manager built in to the operating system. Do Windows or OSX have package managers nowadays? I really don't know, but they didn't the last time i used them. Personally i prefer the incremental update approach, but i can imagine IT departments being annoyed by it.
  14. yep, it's only as device-independent as the framework. Had Evernote decided to rewrite in Flutter or with Jetpack Compose we wouldn't have these problems and the UI would be much faster on all clients. If there's one language I really dislike it's JavaScript ... That being said, i've never had performance problems on Evernote v10 on Android and unless the framework they are using is doing things it shouldn't (somehow calling native code) Android devices are enormously similar for programming purposes (more similar than two different generations of iPhone).
  15. I'm not so sure. I've never had performance problems with the v.10 app on Android 😕 however i agree with you about the bugs. there are still a couple of them involving sharing of data to evernote on android which i run into every now and then. i wonder how many of them come from the framework evernote is using and how many can be fixed by evernote?
