Great… with room for improvement

I’ve been an Evernote user for a long time. A lot of my life is stored in there. Love the sorting and searching. Lots of taxonimy here with notes, notebooks and tags, along with sorting options.

There is a lot outside of the individual notes, but within them, there’s room for improvement – especially for power users. Some other note taking apps have Quick Styles (titles, headings, body, lists). These affect everything from the text size to formatting (bold, italics, underlines, highlights), to color, fonts, space after elements. This brings uniformity of language across all your notes. You can visually scan all elements to quickly get at just the information you’re looking for. Maybe quotes are always indented, 15pt, italisized. You could have a Quick Style for that. I’d love if I could quickly format notes so they don’t look like a wall of text, and without having to “design” individual elements myself.

Evernote is still my note taking app of choice. Love the Scannable integration and the iOS clients. Love having access on the web and being able to password protect my notes. The service is very reliable. If anything, I want more Evernote. With a few formatting additions, I’d love to use this for all my document writing (and replace Google Docs).
