Evernote
 

So - can any of you lucky N900 owners shed some light on Evernote? How well does it integrate? Screenshots would be appreciated.

Re: Evernote
 

Evernote comes in only two flavors: there is an Evernote sharing service and the Evernote Web page.

The sharing service is good for uploading photos. Xournal also uploads PDFs it generates from the note-taking interface through this service.

The Evernote mobile Web page works fine.

There is no native Evernote client for any version of Maemo. There is a rumored third party Evernote backend for Conboy in early development.

Re: Evernote
 

What a shame, I was hoping to be able to edit notes without going to the main webpage.

Re: Evernote
 

Then this must be a mistake or a fake:

http://maemo.nokia.com/maemo-select/...ions/evernote/

Re: Evernote
 

I believe that's just their mobile webpage when using it on the n900..

Re: Evernote
 

Yeah...I jumped at that too. (I'm a big Evernote user.) But the screenshots are just of the sharing service and the mobile Web page. Kinda cheap...

I asked tech support about a Linux client for Evernote a few months ago. The reply I got said they are not doing a Linux client but were hoping someone would come up with one.

Re: Evernote
 

It appears this is an actual app that can be downloaded for the N900 Maemo 5. I don't know what all features it allows access to, but it's not just viewing Evernote.com/mobile in the browser. If nothing else it appears to offer better formatting, so why can't we get this app for OS2008? I became addicted to Evernote over a year ago, and would love to see this on my 810 instead of just accessing in the browser.

Re: Evernote
 

It sucks that Maemo's own Notes app doesn't have a "share" option like the image viewer. We really need Conboy with support for "share profiles"...

Re: Evernote
 

I'm lost at this. Do you see some way to access Evernote thru Conboy???

Re: Evernote
 

I have installed this app on my N900 but can't see any sign of it - or how I can use it. Has anyone else worked it out?

Re: Evernote
 

The Evernote 'app' as such simply adds a new entry in the Sharing Accounts applet of the Settings panel so that you can configure the phone with your Evernote website account credentials (just like configuring your Flickr account).

Then, when you take a photo, you can share it to Evernote.

That's it. Kinda nice and simple. I haven't found any other apps that support sharing-to-Evernote this way, but I haven't looked to hard. . .

Re: Evernote
 

Hi,....I'm suffering from same problem....installed the app but no idea how to use it...
on the website i enter my details and it proceeds and then there's only a blank screeen....

anyone know what is supposed to be happening....

Re: Evernote
 

1. Install the Evernote App
2. Go to the Settings Applet for your N900 (like Control Panel for Windoze PC's)
3. Access Sharing Accounts in the 'Connectivity' section
4. Click the 'New' button, select 'Evernote' as the Sharing Account type, then enter your Evernote site credentials
5. Take a photo with the N900.
6. When the sharing icon appears on-screen (three circles connected in an open triangle), press it and select Evernote as the Sharing Account by which you wish to share the photo
7. Enter tags, title, description, etc as you wish
8. Click 'Done'

Your photo will appear in your Evernote account online momentarily.

Should you continue to 'suffer', take two aspirin and get offline for a while...;-)

Re: Evernote
 

Don't like the fact that you have to post info online. Would be nice if it allowed for storing internally on the n900 only.

Re: Evernote
 

You need to go to Evernote.com and check out the applications purpose, functions and capabilities. The basic idea is to have any and (nearly) all kinds of your data, available and searchable from any PC. Laptop, Netbook, Smart Phone, etc., located anywhere that has Internet access. Once you get used to using it, you become addicted. It is a great tool that can be customized for any work, school, or personal use.
Ah, but alas, there is no app for OS2008... so we can only view, search, and delete entries using the mobile web access.
We can email data and photos directly into Evernote from our NITs though, and that works well.

Re: Evernote
 

Currently there is no way to access Evernote through Conboy. However there might be in the future. There are two things currently under consideration:

Support for the sharing plugins
We could convert the Conboy notes to something which the Evernote webservice understands and send them through the Evernote sharing plugin. This way we could push Conboy notes to Evernote, but not more.
qwerty12 did a quick test and it looks like the Evernote service does not accept HTML but only PDF. HTML would be easy to create, PDF not that easy.

Evernote plugin for Conboy
There is someone interested in writing a plugin for Conboy which directly supports Evernote. This would be two ways (sending and receiving). There is even some code already, but still many technical problems to solve. I won't say more here - I leave it to this person to unveil the concrete plans. But don't expect anything too soon.

If there are more Conboy specific questions, please feel free to post them here where most of the discussion takes place.

Re: Evernote
 

API documentation says it has limited support for XHTML:

Before submitting HTML content over the EDAM API the client application is expected to follow the following steps:

1.Convert the document into valid XML
2.Discard all tags that are not accepted by the ENML DTD
3.Convert tags to the proper ENML equivalent (e.g. BODY becomes EN-NOTE)
4.Validate against the ENML DTD
5.Validate href and src values to be valid URLs and protocols

ENML permits the use of the following standard XHTML elements:

A, ABBR, ACRONYM, ADDRESS, AREA, B, BDO, BIG, BLOCKQUOTE, BR, CAPTION, CENTER, CITE, CODE, COL, COLGROUP, DD, DEL, DFN, DIV, DL, DT, EM, FONT, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, HR, I, IMG, INS, KBD, LI, MAP, OL, P PRE, Q, S, SAMP, SMALL, SPAN, STRIKE, STRONG, SUB, SUP, TABLE, TBODY, TD, TFOOT, TH, THEAD, TITLE, TR, TT, U, UL, VAR, XMP

The following XHTML elements are not included in ENML:

APPLET, BASE, BASEFONT, BGSOUND, BLINK, BODY, BUTTON, DIR, EMBED, FIELDSET, FORM, FRAME, FRAMESET, HEAD, HTML, IFRAME, ILAYER, INPUT, ISINDEX, LABEL, LAYER, LEGEND, LINK, MARQUEE, MENU, META, NOFRAMES, NOSCRIPT, OBJECT, OPTGROUP, OPTION, PARAM, PLAINTEXT, SCRIPT, SELECT, STYLE, TEXTAREA, XML

A number of attributes are also disallowed from the supported XHTML elements:

id, class, style, onclick, ondblclick, on* …, accesskey, data, dynsrc, tabindex

URLs within ENML must use one of the following protocols: http, https, file

Other potentially dangerous protocols (e.g. javascript, vbscript, etc.) are disallowed, and documents using these protocols will be rejected by the service.

CSS must be stripped from note contents. This includes removing all <style> elements, attributes, etc. The ENML DTD prohibits all CSS-related elements.

Re: Evernote
 

Conboy as an Evernote "client" would realy, really cool !
The built-in "Notes" app doesn't even have a "share" option...

Re: Evernote
 

I have never understood the purpose of evernote until one of you above explained it here, even though I have it on my PC. When someone showed the list of n900 apps avaible from ovi store i saw the evernote icon.

Re: Evernote
 

This is very good information. Thanks a lot naabi. Basically this means we need to write a Tomboy-XML to ENML converter*. I'm planning to add support for converters to Conboy at some point, then hopefully we can integrate that nicely. It will take some time, though...

* or Tomboy-XML -> XHTML -> ENML

Re: Evernote
 

This solution could be feasable for supporting other sharing services also.

Re: Evernote
 

Yes, XHTML is probably useful for other things as well. E.g., sending a note to a non-maemo smart phone via bluetooth.

Now we only need someone who writes the converter (in C please) ;)

Re: Evernote
 

Evernote has just announced an app for Android http://blog.evernote.com/2009/12/16/...roid-its-here/
Maybe someone with the required talent will now be able to port this over for OS2008. I suppose we could always load Android on to our N8xx, but I'n not quite ready for that yet.

Re: Evernote
 

There seems to be one not implemented feature in Evernote pluign, what I miss. It doesn't move geotags to notes it make. Evernote supports "geotaggin" of notes, so that would be nice feature to have.

Re: Evernote
 

just asked on evernote page for a maemo5 evernote client.
maybe all users should do that, who wish it.

they have android support, can't be to hard for them to make a build for other linux based mobile OS.

Re: Evernote
 

Don't count on it. Maemo and Android are two completely different beasts. There is no easy porting between those two. Unfortunately.

Re: Evernote
 

Does anyone know if anyone is having a go at writing an Evernote app for Maemo 5?

I've had a play with Conboy and I'm really not too keen on it. Putting in note via the Evernote webpage is a bit of a pain and it would be great to have an offline store of these on the phone for when the internet is unavailable and when I'm roaming.

Re: Evernote
 

this is one of the key reasons I am using the latest Fennec browser!
there is a plugin (Shareaholic) that allows full "clip to evernote" functionality to easily save browser clippings to my evernote account.
I then use the mobile version of evernote to read the clipping later from the same device (n810)...

Re: Evernote
 

I'm more looking for the functionality of the desktop app.

Basically, I love the idea of my notes being on the cloud but I'd like to be able to edit and use them via an app (as the website's a little clunky). I would also like to be able to have a local database stored that gets synchronised when I'm not roaming.

Re: Evernote
 

Is Xournal the only note app that can "share" to Evernote?

Re: Evernote
 

Has anyone been able to access the website in non-mobile mode? Firefox will but the native browser on my N900 won't.

Re: Evernote
 

Yes, just point it at www.evernote.com -works for me in the native browser.

Things like Sorting don't work though.

Re: Evernote
 

I'm a bit disappointed!!

Naively, I assumed that the Evernote plugin that's highlighted here http://maemo.nokia.com/maemo-select/...ions/evernote/
would have the same functionality as what I was used to on the iphone.

Damn, I liked Evernote. I'll send them a mail and ask them to make a proper Maemo version. We should all contact them!

Re: Evernote
 

Good luck with the Evernote people when you mention Linux....But have you tried the mobile web version? It's not full funtion, but definitely usable. With the ability to forward email to your Evernote account, and the ''Quick Note'' function in the we app, you can still get a lot of functionality out of Everote.
