Not sure why you would buy evernote when you can get OneNote plus the rest of office 365 for about the same price.

The OneNote web clipper is a disgrace compared to Evernote's. How do you get around this problem?
Evernote's Skitch was absolutely fantastic and I still haven't found a better replacement
Nice little program, but Evernote's main contribution was buying it and killing the iOS/Android/Windows versions. I liked it better as an independent app that cost a couple bucks instead of a freebie that died for not fitting the "core Evernote experience."

Really? I wonder how it will compete with Redbox? We rarely watch movies (we don't even have a Netflix subscription), but when we do it is a spur of the moment thing so we just run around the corner to redbox and grab something. Waiting for a movie in the mail? That's so 2010 ;-)
Netflix still has almost 3 million DVD subscribers. ( https://www.statista.com/statistics/250940/quarterly-number-... ) They compete by having a larger library. But before you get too smug, the idea of going to Redbox to get a physical disc is not exactly cutting edge compared to just clicking on a button and renting a movie on demand from your cable provider/Apple/Amazon/Google/Vudu.
Sorry if I came off as smug. Wasn't my intent. We typically spend about $1-2 a month on Redbox. Any streaming movie rental would be at least four times that amount.

OneNote is a direct competitor and honestly a better one

I don't use a web clipper, I use copy/paste. It pastes the content and a little footnote about the source with URL at the bottom.

Well, that's one of the reasons I just settled on vimwiki despite having used OneNote since it was an internal build when I worked at Microsoft. I'm tired of chasing it around. Included with Office. Not included with your version. Runs on Mac, but only online and no local storage. Doesn't have that important feature the Windows version does. Had shared notebooks for ten years, permissions system still sucks goat ball…
Would you then bring some light on how the such thing happens actually. That was really breakthrough product - the ultimate one, combined with Microsoft technologies like Tablet PC, and handwriting recognition - and now, after the 15 years since Microsoft invented all that, they are chasing after Apple with their iPad Pro? edit - after twenty years ! > In 1999, original equipment manufacturers released the first tabl…

I worked at the same company, didn't work on OneNote. Doesn't matter, I'm a tech guy and these decisions have nothing to do with the technology.

JIRA also fits the bill.
"enterprisey" is a word I've heard used to describe jira a few times. Its meant as an insult.
Enterprise software:
- Slow GUI
- Horrible Java thing
- Complicated
- Weird patching process
- Doesn't integrate with what you want (or does but costs more)
- Bought and mandated by somebody that doesn't need to use it

Usually $3.99-$5.99.
I’m lazier than I am cheap.
But honestly, most of my movies fall off the back of a truck onto my Plex server.
And I was just giving you hard time about being smug.....

#188Also long gone from the company: the Skitch founders. They "sold" their company to Evernote for stock in 2011-12. Let's just say that didn't work out so well for them. Not that it's clear they'd have been much better off had they stayed independent. They had millions of users but no revenue. Startup life can be brutal. https://www.smartcompany.com.au/startupsmart/advice/skitch-c...
That was a nice read.

#189I've been an Evernote user for a long time, but it's been ages since I've felt that they're actually user-focused by way of improving holes like poor functional parity across their apps(1). As a outsider, a huge amount of energy felt squandered on a shotgun-strategy of special-purpose apps while a stream of core app rebuilds launched, none of which significantly moved the functional needle. I've been exploring altern…
I would be happy if Evernote was "done". I pay for a subscription, I am not interested in paying for new features, I would simply be happy if it went into eternal feature freeze and only did security and compatibility updates. Of course this kind of thing won't happen but maybe it says something about the optimization pitfalls of our economy.
I really like it but the lack of a native Linux client is what stopped me using it.

#190As someone who dropped Evernote several years ago in favor of OneNote, did they ever improve the merging behavior? I gave up on Evernote due to daily merge conflicts that I got tired of manually resolving.
Not really. I've heard they're getting ready to release some updates soon that will address it in part, but who knows.
