I have spent the better part of three days looking at EverNote style apps. I keep finding reasons why they are not going to work for me. EverNote seems to come the closest.
It is the webclip aspect that I am hung up on. It seems a lot of work to select a portion of a page, and click on a bookmarklet, to have a web form pop up, where I do my entry. Is there a local app based version of this? I want a keyboard based quick entry window.
I am near certain, this means that to use the web clip feature, I am going to need network access, which is a logical assumption, since I am on the web. However, what if I am on a intranet, and want to clip things, and do not have outside access?
I am looking to stop using bookmarks, and just use EverNote. Most of the other EverNote style apps allow the easy, keyboard based, grabbing of a url, or page, and can even download the entire page as an offline doc, for reading later. I need not grab the mouse, select anything, I can just take the page with me. I certainly do not need to login to an account.
Can you tell me a little about how the data is stored? One issue I am running into is database based storage, such as sqlite, where the database grows, making TimeMachine rapidly run out of space. I am hoping EverNote uses files, and just copies my files to some central location that is managed, a lot like iTunes, or iPhoto.
The closest I am getting to what I want is Yojimbo, but there is the database issue with that app, and also only syncing through Mobile Me. Plus, Yojmbo is made by BareBones, and I do not get along with them.
