I dream of a future where there is a standard rest interface for cloud file storage, that somebody will put an API in front of any non-compliant services, and that applications can talk to any datastore with minimal hacking. This has been done before with, eg ODBC.

* RemoteStorage.js[1] (they plan on adding support for Dropbox, Drive, etc.)
* CloudRail[2] (nonfree source)
* CloudDock[3] (proxy service)
* byoFS.js[4] (encrypted cloud storage, I maintain this)

There's also Simplenote. I can recommend it. It's pretty cool, it's just plaintext, and it just works. I migrated to it after I got sick of the formatting in Evernote getting screwed up and sync issues causing data loss.
Interesting, I am curious if this can be used by psychiatrist / psychologist who need to take patient notes. Notes need to shared between psychiatrist / psychologist / social worker. Typically a patient needs all three. Also the notes would need to be secure (hipaa) compliant. I wonder how much work would be needed to build a MVP using paperwork as a start.
If you want to chat more email me at brian at iCouch.me. I'd be glad to share some knowledge about the space if you want.
I ditched evernote after I lost my data twice. Sadly I have yet to find a solution which I feel would be an adequate replacement. Even Paperwork is far from it. Either the proposed alternative is even buggier than evernote, or it doesn't implement the full featureset I need. I kind of feel that for me the pinnacle of Evernote was version 3. The lure of being able to dump any information into it and sort it later was…
How did you lose your data twice?
Support told me to save my note before moving to another device ... I guess I was the first user to forget that. They never apologized for their bug and I was a paid user back then.

And another proprietary service ("make it an offline Chrome app"). It's the web, why would I want to be locked to a single vendor?
It is the path of least resistance to get to a 'Desktop' experience. And please, what are the alternatives? Firefox ? I'm sorry, but Firefox lost relevance a couple of years ago now. Firefox is ethically the best , but it sucks in implementation. Firefox is now the broccoli of the web, stale broccoli at that.

I agree with everyone that the UX needs some clean-up (default notebook created automatically, large Add Note button, etc.), however, there is one functionality that Evernote removed a long time ago, and I'm still searching for an alternative, and this new app also doesn't support it.
The feature to create unlimited child notes. It used to be that you could have a tree structure with a parent note, then a few child notes, then a child of those child notes, etc., but last I checked, there's only one layer of depth. Only one child note can be created for each notebook and you can't set that child to be the parent of another note. I love all the other features, such as tagging, clipping, etc., but this was a killer feature that I haven't found anywhere else.
Do any of you know an alternative app that has this feature in a note-taking application?
