Notational velocity android app update#

My personal notes usage pattern was pretty much the same since 2012, I update relevant entries once There still is an option to export notes using their API, but with the trajectory Evernote took I’m sure it will be deprecated/hindered somehow pretty soon, just to keep the users locked in.Īnyway, I exported all my notes and started to look for the replacement.īut before I share my findings, I need to explain how I use note-taking apps. Unfortunately over the years Evernote slowly turned into utter garbage,Īnd with latest obnoxious ‘redesign’ I was finally done with it.Īnd of course first thing I discovered is that they seem to have killed ’export’ in any shape or form!Īt least it’s not present in the mobile app or website. When I was done playing with VPS in 2015, I migrated back to Evernote, and used it till 2021. I exported all notes from Evernote to Tomboy without any issues, and kept using this setup for over 1.5 years. With personal VPS I switched to Tomboy and Tomdroid with Owncloud sync, which worked ok-ish. I used Evernote from 2012 to ~2014 when I started playing with personal VPS and the idea of fully self-hosted environment. It was actually pretty good back then, and one of the first things I tested was export functionality, which worked very well.

I always used my phone (Android back then, iPhone now) to take those notes, and when I started doing it the only good software available was Evernote. Since 2012 I have notes with mini-reviews and ratings of:Īnd of course I kept notes with random thoughts, ideas and stuff. I kinda solved this for my needs few years ago by writing an simple app that allows me to quickly collect each day stats and activities in under 1 minute,īut that’s not the topic of this post, I’ll write about it someday later.Īnyway, instead of keeping a diary I started to write notes about stuff I’m interested in. Which rules out writing diary in an old-fashioned way.Īnd all diary-like mobile apps seem to add too much friction. My handwriting is absolutely terrible, to the point that I can’t decipher my own notes, I myself was always a fan of this idea, but could never actually get started with it. Subsequent runs happen faster as it stores/mirrors changes in a local database.In the days of yore it was common for people to keep a diary. On first run (and assuming you entered your credentials correctly) sync may be slow. You can now launch the application from the Unity Dash (or equivalent app menu). sn_username = SimplenoteUsername sn_password = SimplenotePassword Paste/type the following text in full, replacing ‘SimplenoteUsername’ and ‘SimplenotePassword’ with your account credentials. Name this - and notice the period preceding it - “.nvpy.cfg”. Having installed the application, the first step is to open your home folder in a file manager and press Ctrl+H to reveal ‘hidden’ files. Right-click in a blank part of the file manager to create a ‘new blank document’.
