I'm wondering who needed this new GUI, and are there any benefits to these changes? Are there no other priorities that need to be addressed?

I’m glad to hear that, but it would be great if there were more options for font size and themes beyond just light and dark... Actually, the current V10 dark theme could be one of these...

Thanks for bringing back the old dark theme: it is so much easier on the eyes...

yeah, I loved the 'old' V10 dark theme : it had the proper font size, proper note background color, resizable column sizes for the note list I hope that different themes will be available with configurable fontsizes, otherwise please bring back the old GUI

yes, a variable title width in the note list is absolutely essential! The font size of the note list which was perfect before, has been reduced. Please make it configurable. Zooming should go in much smaller steps, I can't use it to solve the fixed font size problem.

The app should distinguish between note changes made by the user and those made by the system, which are invisible and irrelevant to the user. As others said, the problem occurs not only after converting from the old to the new RTE format, but also with minor internal (format) changes afterwards.

I still have a question about legacy API behaviour: How were note conflicts prevented when the API changed a note at the same time as other client editors? Wasn't there also a problem?

hmm, this is not what I experience... When I open the same note on my PC and my phone, both can change the note concurrently...

I've also seen this in recent months with notes that had already been converted to the new format

I see no reason to "restructure" the database, but apart from that, enex should be extended with these two tags just to make the export complete and consistent. Enex is an export format, not only intended for evernote import but especially for archival / backup of your data. As I already mentioned, my own enex to html implementation generates proper html, showing even more info than V10 desktop does (location, map).

Two tags should be added to the ENEX, which would make the export complete and consistent: <noteId> to restore forward and backward links <notebook> to export all notes intoa single enex Existing importers are not aware and not affected by these extensions, but of course they may use it in future releases. My own enex to html implementation can use it for link and notebook restoration. Below the two lines to be added to the note description in the enex, not exactly a major rewrite... <note> <noteId> 12345 </noteId> <notebook>name0</notebook> <title>test0</title> <created>20231229T154151Z</created> <updated>20231229T154307Z</updated> <tag>abcd</tag> <note-attributes> <author>John Doe</author> </note-attributes> <content> ... </content> </note>

No, this wouldn’t break the importer at all. Legacy already exported all notebooks in a single enex. Unfortunately, the notebook id wasn’t specified in the enex. But that is very simple to add without breaking the existing XML (tools). As a matter of fact, just for testing, I added the notebook name to an existing enex and it was still readable by several importers. This is no surprise because XML has been designed to be eXtendable (Open Closed principle)

You know you can export an entire notebook at once, right?

As far as I understand their vague explanation, notion does

what exactly do you mean by AI scraping, where is it mentioned in that article? You probably mean Notion AI scraping?

Your "intermediate plan", which was formerly known as the Plus plan, existed for years with the hope that all users would contribute a little bit. Unfortunately, not enough users subscribed to the plan, which caused a dead price spiral that was now paid by a minority of subscribers to cover the costs for all free users. EN is currently facing a dilemma. If they provide a reduced price plan, there is a possibility that current subscribers will downgrade to the cheaper plan and not enough free users will subscribe...

Yes, I did that search too, but that says nothing about what and how much data is sent to the AI server. Evernote's AI-search only sends a very small set of the most relevant notes to the server, just the notes on that topic and nothing more. That compromise makes it safer but at the same time less efficient, depending on your queries...

EN AI search is a sensitive balance between efficiency and privacy (security) ... what measures does notion take to protect your privacy when using AI search?

The millions of free users who declined to subscribe to the very reasonable Plus plan are the real reason why subscribers need to pay such high prices now. 😞

I have implemented it for personal use so far. I made a first quick and dirty prototype in Python, and now I'm implementing it in a real programming language to make it more readable, performant and secure. If more people are interested, I might consider publishing it, but not until it's completely finished.

Yep. By the way, I would never decrypt my notes on the EN server because this defeats the whole point of encryption. Instead I would write an ENEX to 'decrypted' ENEX tool, in case I would migrate to another note taking tool. Starting from my ENEX to HTML code, it's not that dificult... edit: or perhaps encrypt it in a different format, known by the target app or something?

And did they state explicitly in that email that it was a lifetime license for all future versions?

...except for my own Enex to Html implementation: if a password provided, my tool decrypts all encrypted content in the notes. Decryption and reconstruction of note links provides a consistent, self-contained HTML archive without losing any note content. This is my safety net in case everything else goes wrong...

Yes, just adding the GUID to ENEX would help a lot... but in the meantime, my own Enex to HTML implementation reconstructs the for and backlinks from the note title. This works perfectly as long as the title has not changed since the link was created. My tool warns when a note title no longer matches so you can manually correct it in EN.

Does the PDF include the attachments or is it just the note text?
