![]() I would happily and very generously contribute to a kickstarter that offers a good open source ENEX/ENML editor integrated into one of the other environments, so I do not lose my formatted notes. At this point I am at the edge: if somebody would write a good ENML/ENEX editor for one of the other alternatives so my exported notes would not suffer, Evernote would be dead for me. I would like to comment that features like web clipping and tagging, as well as more than a decade of using Evernote, basically before Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, and some Evernote alternatives became available. ![]() ![]() Some people may now comment "but why do you not use MS Word or Google Docs, or Dropbox Paper" documents within Evernote, as a simple workaround. Evernote should also offer some benefits to "power users", not only to bring Evernote to small mobile screens. I guess you could convert them into something visually smaller that pops up for mobile, but when I work on a computer, I have at least a 4K screen that I subdivide into narrow columns, so the windows are manageable. I don't like the "bubble comments" I prefer the simpler "margin note" or "side note"įor my own comments I also do not need the whole "who and when" information, but for collaborative comments it is excellent. I would like to have an extremely effortless and visually pleasing way of adding my comments, thoughts and highlights (well, I can do highlights, now even in assorted colors), while keeping the original text largely intact. Side notes are commonly associated with Edward G Tufte, the one from the books on Visual Display of Quantitative Information, Beautiful Evidence, and Visual Explanations, all "must reads" if you work anywhere near science and visualization he has used margin notes extensively and to great benefit.Ī bit like the bubble comments in MS Word or Google Docs. Footnotes have the disadvantage that they separate the annotation far from the relevant place. I believe they are an alternative to "footnotes" native to markdown. There are some markdown extensions, mainly associated with R (the statistics programming language). Yes, some may overflow, and there are ways to address that. Like in books (scribbled by readers, but sometimes used as part of the book design as an alternative to footnotes if it is important to keep comments close to the text. I'd love to see them supported as "side notes" or "margin notes", The clipping capability is one particular area where Evernote shines. I use it more for clipping and annotating web content for further use. Especially since Evernote is not only a "note taking app".
