  1. I believe the point is that they have thought, considered, discussed, weighed up the benefits, figured out the costs and decided that they aren't going to.
  2. It doesn't really matter.....they've said they aren't building a Linux client.
  3. Your mum can use the web client - this is the solution for Linux users (Or Wine or Nixnote etc). Nobody have a divine right to use Evernote, if you choose to use a platform for which they don't provide a native client well that's kinda your fault, not theirs. Linux users aren't being stigmatised, this isn't some personal war that Libin and Co are waging against you - it's a business decision that they have made and have shown no inclination to change.
  4. Have you tried creating a Stack? Check out the knowledge base for more info depending on which client you are using - http://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/23530443
  5. Thank you for your opinion (except microsoft, "the vast majority of (littlesmall) software companies do ) I've no idea about MS, I haven't used a Windows machine for years. But back in the land of reality - the vast majority of software companies don't build software for Linux. A small number do and there is an enthusiastic user community but from a revenue point of view it is also a very small (less than 2% of the desktop market) and pretty cheap (students, nerds) community and so for commercial organisations who don't make money from enterprise support (like Red Hat for example) then it is not a particularly attractive market.
  6. It is very very rare for Evernote to talk about future plans. They have very explicitly said that there are no plans to build a Linux client. Evernote can happily continue to ignore Linux, the vast majority of software companies do.
  7. It's private Meg, although the CEO has talked about an IPO in the next few years (soon).
  8. Erm, Evernote is a privately funded company. I don't think they've ever accepted or been offered a single tax dollar. They've been 100% clear that they have no plans to release a Linux client - not sure there is much point in continuing to complain about it.
  9. Sounds like you have a notebook to share which you can do.
  10. This is a user forum - if you want to get an official response then open a support ticket. Jack's a decent bloke so he comes on here and he posts sometimes, he reads a lot but there is no expectation that he will respond to any particular thread. I'm guessing that as there have been major releases on a number of platforms recently that haven't included this functionality that it isn't high on the list. Edit: And there he goes.....
  11. In the end it comes down to priorities. This is really important to you, it couldn't matter any less to me. So in our sample size of 2 we have a 50/50 split. That's why it's tough being a software company. Evernote's approach to this so far has been to develop their software in a way that would be most useful to themselves and this up to now has not included this feature. Given that there have recently been major revisions to the major clients and it's not included it would be difficult to see the feature appearing in the near future. This leaves you with a choice, if you need to be able to re-order your text right now then Evernote is not the app for you. If you can live with workarounds until Evernote decide to implement it (and they may never do so), then that is fine. This isn't a design flaw or some horrendously serious omission that the numptees in California have made, it's a choice and as fortunate free adults we all have the opportunity to vote with our feet and find an alternative solution if we are not happy with a product.
  12. The last couple of minutes of this interview indicate that new "sexy" encryption options will be available "soon" (by the end of the year apparently) http://techcrunch.co...ar-old-startup/
  13. Evernote don't discuss their roadmap, because Jack noted it also doesn't mean it's ever going to happen.
  14. It's not a mind map, but you might like this - http://discussion.evernote.com/topic/37800-mohiomap-public-beta-launched/
  15. This really has been discussed an awful lot on here, if you search you will find a number of threads. The basic facts appear to be that Evernote do not currently wish to offer any further depth in hierarchy for notes, notebooks and stacks. Given that there have recently been major releases across a number of platforms it doesn't appear that this is going to change. So without meaning to sound harsh, if you want to use Evernote then you have to learn to deal with this paradigm, otherwise there may be a better app out there for you.
  16. No real value in bumping one of your own threads (and it's not great forum etiquette).
  17. I feel old now, looked back and I was on the beta program - got my account on March 16 2008, guess that explains why I am on shard 1. Really I should get some sort of gift for having been a user for 5 years, something small like a Porsche. Where is that gbarry fella?
  18. The forum is 3rd party software, 'rented' by Evernote and not written by them. It's also pretty dreadful in my opinion.
  19. Most importantly, there has been absolutely no indication that Evernote's position on this has changed and so the conversation is kind of a waste of time.
  20. If you are a Premium user then you can use Note History to recover your note. You could also try contacting support. Or you could just be done.
  21. Sharing Stacks I would imagine to be on the way at some point - there's no doubting the usefulness and it doesn't break from their selected model. As to whether the current model is a limitation or not is just a matter of opinion, what is for sure is that it is the way that Evernote is currently architected and there has never been any indication that it is likely to change.
  22. This has been discussed at great length on here, it seems very unlikely that Evernote will develop a deeper folder structure paradigm. Evernote have decided that their product will utilise tags for organisation. If this model doesn't work for you, well then the product is probably not the right product for you.
  23. The problem with that, Metrodon, is that it is only your opinion. I'd suggest that there are actually quite lot of people who would find intra-note sorting VERY useful, including all those GTD types (which I'm not), and all those who use EN to store various lists (which I do) from shopping lists to lists of owned DVDs etc. Heck, Evernote is a free-form database, so a list is just one type of note content. And sorting those lists would be a fairly basic need, I'd think. But, that is only my opinion, just as yours is only yours. I have to agree though that it IS odd that we can sort notes and notebooks, but not intranotes, particularly lists. Could be lists of anything from shopping to learning lists. The advantage of doing ALL of that in Evernote, of course, is that the data is synced across platforms. I can pull up EN on my iPhone while in the supermarket and grab the shopping list. I can search the list of DVDs if I see one that I'm not sure if we have it or not. Insurance lists of house contents. Lists of camera lenses, jewellery, books, etc etc. LOTS of instances where being able to sort those lists would be very handy. Sorting has been around since the beginning of computing. I remember programming bubble sorts way back in the assembly-language days of 8-bit Z80 programming. I'm sure there are so many sort routines available now, virtually off the shelf, that incorporating one into a note that is plain text and separated by new lines (i.e lists) should be a piece of cake. But I'm not holding my breath - Evernote still haven't got the ability to do reverse sort order for notes yet, on either the title or the date created or date modified. Wonder just WHY they have so much of a problem with sorts? Evernote's direction is really very clear. They are attempting to create a very general tool based around a cross platform syncing service. The apps that Evernote create themselves rarely meet a use case such as the one asked for in this thread. This isn't some disrespectful of its users nasty master plan, it's just the reality of building a solution that 45m+ people use in a myriad of different ways. Building complex functionality that will only be used by a small subset of users (and that then must be maintained) just doesn't make technical or business sense.
  24. It's not really worth an argument - I'm just telling you what they have very explicitly said. Remember though, Blackberry still has a reasonable footprint in the enterprise (where MS rules on the desktop), so I'm guessing your bet is miles out.
