  • The Evernote slide continues

    Evernote just announced a price increase. A rare thing to see. Back in November of last year I wrote about Simplenote having a "moment" due to the exodus from Evernote that was seemingly happening. I’d be willing to bet that is about to accelerate. Back then, I wrote: Anecdotal evidence suggests that the people that…

  • Evernote’s days are numbered

    Remember a few months ago when I wrote, several times, that many Evernote loyalists were leaving it behind for something else? I believe we’re about to see a watershed moment for Evernote. Back then I wrote that Simplenote should have an import tool and they’d be able to clean up. So far we haven’t seen…

  • Kerri Krueger says farewell to Evernote

    Kerri Krueger on her blog: What was once fast and simple suddenly…wasn’t. Evernote’s beautifully slim and functional former self disappeared into a bloated garbage fire that rendered it all but unusable. Yesterday I switched from Evernote to Simplenote for the same reasons as Kerri. See also: Evernote vs. Notes, Chambers, Pogue.

  • Pogue leaves Evernote

    David Pogue on his Tumblog: But here’s the thing: Over time, Evernote has grown bulky, complex, and buggy. He also shares how he moved to Apple Notes using an AppleScript. See: here, and here.

  • Bradley Chambers leaves Evernote

    Bradley Chambers: As of 10/18/15, I’ve completely left Evernote. What started out as a simple “delete notes that are not longer needed” project, ended with me completely exporting everything out. Evernote hasn’t added a feature in a long time that I cared about. Keep in mind that Bradley literally wrote the book on Evernote. Evernote…

  • Evernote or Notes?

    Brett Kelly ponders the switch from Evernote to Notes and the differences between the two services. While listing the main differences he remarks: Evernote works on platforms beside OS X; if you’re all hot to trot with Notes.app and you have a Windows computer at work, Notes becomes a whole lot less usable. This isn’t…

  • Evernote vs Notebooks

    Luca G, from the Netherlands, on Medium: I’ve compared the two and came to the conclusion that Evernote is the best option for me. I always carry my phone around, and it’s always charged. I’m much the same. I’ve defaulted to Evernote for almost everything. I say almost because I find that having a notebook…

  • Changes to Evernote, spurred by a blog post

    Jason Kincaid wrote, on his personal blog, Evernote, the bug-ridden elephant. The post met with some very encouraging responses… Two days ago I published Evernote, the bug-ridden elephant, recounting the ongoing issues I’ve had with the service (and, more recently, serious incidents of data loss). The response has been staggering: over a hundred comments on my post, hundreds…

  • Obsidian didn’t stick, for me

    Back in May I came across Obsidian, a knowledge base app that stores your information in Markdown files. I used it a bit here and there until, in July, I stumbled onto Ton Zijlstra’s post about Obsidian which motivated me to try it in earnest. I was excited to have a note taking app that…

  • Martin McCallion on Text Editors

    Martin McCallion: If you work with plain text, as I prefer to, then you probably try out different text editors from time to time (or, you know, constantly). For a long time I used plain text files via nvAlt (as McCallion does). I miss plain text files. Then I moved to Simplenote. Then for a…

  • Simplenote’s moment

    The running theme the last few weeks is how many people, including myself, are leaving Evernote behind for either Apple’s Notes or Simplenote. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the people that are leaving Evernote are those who first started using it when it was still simple and mostly text-based. So while there are likely thousands and thousands…

  • Alternote

    I use Evernote on my desktop, tablet, and phone. I don’t particularly care for their applications* but the service and structure works well enough that I’ve been productive using them. Jeremy Brown, a local designer and developer and frequent Coalworker, recently wrote about Alternote: It’s clean, and it’s generally nice to use. What’s good is…

  • Jeremy Keith wrote 100 words for 100 days

    What an amazing feat by Jeremy Keith: I missed the daily deadline once. I could make the excuse that it was a really late night of carousing, but I knew in advance that I was going to be out so I could’ve written my 100 words ahead of time—I didn’t. I didn’t go twelve days…

  • Wednesday Scrapple 3

    The last two scrapples were on Tuesday; you can find them here and here. I’m finally getting the hang of Evernote. The key, for me at least, is managing multiple notebooks. It’d be nice if I could password protect a notebook. A way to have a notebook be a bit extra secure. Holding the original…

  • Tuesday Scrapple 2

    See Scrapple 1. I’m begrudgingly using Evernote. It is working. But I wish the sync capabilities were equal to Simplenote’s. Tip: Close your inbox. Only open it when you’re reading and/or writing email. Do not leave it open in between. I would like to have a Russian dash cam installed in my car. My drive…

  • Skitch for iOS

    Wow, I never saw this coming. Skitch, an application I’ve written about many times, is now available on iOS. /via CNet.
