Web Client Beta Release Notes 4/1/2015

[nanphan 138]

Hello everyone, 

 

We had some minor bug fixes in Wednesday night's release so no major features to call out this week. One bug fix we'd like to mention: 

• Reminder sort order is now fixed and is no longer reversed.

Hi!

 

I am beginning to wonder.

What future the Beta?  

 

To be honest: I hope it has no future! 

 

The old interface was very usefull. A real workplace! But it looks a bit ugly and old fashion!

 

The new interface is very nice looking and modern. But it's not very usefull!

 

I hope, they rethink it now for something nice, modern, and very usefull!

 

Bye

Apologies for the delay in updates folks. We are still here and are continuing to release every week.  However, we've mostly had silent updates as we work on improving the bigger features.  I've posted our latest this week. For those that haven't had a chance to hear about the changes to our Premium offerings, you can learn more about it on our blog: https://blog.evernote.com/blog/2015/04/29/introducing-evernote-plus-and-the-new-evernote-premium/.

While we're waiting, I'd like to report an issue with encrypted text.

 

When I decrypt the text to view it, the note is marked as updated, even though I did not change anything (and it's not even possible to change anything in encrypted text). This behavior is confusing, especially for someone that sorts notes by "Date Updated" (me, for example).

 

Hi malockin, 

 

Thanks for reporting this.  As you know we've never supported encryption on the web client, but you are correct that the note shouldn't be updated just because you're decrypting.

Is anyone there at Evernote?  Are you all OK?

 

Nancy has responded to a few posts in this forum yesterday, so we might expect an update soon.

 

And welcome back @nanphan :-)

I should make it clear that I am a great fan of the new Web Beta.

As a teacher, I am finding it perfect for use in class.

 

However, I can see how Powerusers would find it very frustrating.

As I have said elsewhere, I think the most sensible solution here is to maintain the old and the new and so keep everyone happy (well, more or less happy  )

A few days ago gave the Web Beta yet another try. This time using IE on Win7. While editing an existing note, I found so many screen artifacts/glitches, loss of focus, and changes not saved problems, I had to revert back to the standard Web interface immediately! Don't have the exact IE version, but it was reasonably up-to-date, I'd done a full Windows Update less than 2 months ago.

[Glennie 112]

Yes.

My impression is that they staked everything on the appeal of the workchat idea and have discovered that it has simply not taken off. Why did they think it would?

Maybe they thought the Poweruser market had reached a peak and was not likely to lead to more new users making Premium payments.

But the only thing they have achieved is the loss of an unknown number of Powerusers, a loss which will not have been compensated for by the very very few enthusiasts of workchat. (Has anyone seen a post praising it?)

[malockin 14]

My guess would be that they've heard the uproar about the new version, have stopped development on this version/interface, regrouped, and trying to come up with a new approach.

[Glennie 112]

Ideally, they would maintain the old and the new.

They both lend themselves to very different things.

 

In any case,....all is silence in Castle Evernote.

Hi!

 

50 days without news? Is there still development on the new web UI?

[Glennie 112]

I was wondering the same thing.  

[malockin 14]

so... did anything interesting happen in the past 4 weeks?

[nanphan 138]

Hi Nancy,

 

Not sure if the Reminders List jumping when an item is dragged and dropped got looked into. Just to report that this still persists. The Reminders list still jumps to the end every time. I've checked in Chrome and Safari. Exactly the same behavior.

 

Thanks!

 

Thank you, we are aware of the issue, and will try to address it in a future release. I'll be sure to update you when this happens.
