## Intro [(00:00:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=0s) - The video will cover updates from [[Evernote]], specifically a video from Evode summarizing the releases from July [(00:00:05)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=5s). - The updates will be discussed in a reaction video format, with the host sharing their thoughts and opinions [(00:00:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=0s). - The host hasn't caught up with Evernote recently, making this a good opportunity to review the updates together [(00:00:10)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=10s). - The video's content is centered around the idea of a "paperless movement" and "productivity your way" [(00:00:21)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=21s). - The host plans to share their thoughts and opinions throughout the video, referred to as their "five cents" [(00:00:17)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=17s). ## Collaboration [(00:00:25)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=25s) - [[Evernote]] is focusing on two main tracks for the next few months: [[Collaboration | collaboration]] and quality of life [(00:00:26)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=26s). - Collaboration involves working on features such as note sharing, real-time collaboration, and improving the overall experience of using Evernote with others [(00:00:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=33s). - The collaboration features seem to be moving in the opposite direction of killing the team feature, instead opening up more possibilities for teams [(00:00:58)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=58s). - The team feature is expected to be enhanced with the addition of other features like calendar and task management, making Evernote an all-in-one solution [(00:01:09)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=69s). - Quality of life refers to improving the individual user experience of Evernote, making it fast, reliable, and overall good [(00:01:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=79s). - This includes improving accessibility on different devices, reliability, and performance, which had dropped significantly in recent years due to updates and the new platform [(00:01:42)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=102s). - The goal is to build new things and improve what is currently possible on [[Evernote]], from both the standpoint of building new features and improving existing ones [(00:02:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=123s). ## Sharing [(00:02:04)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=124s) - Evernote has simplified the sharing process by unifying the web and app links into a single link, making it more intuitive and easier to understand [(00:02:29)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=149s). - This change brings many improvements to the sharing experience, allowing users to leverage internal links to specific items inside the tool, which is something advocated by the Paperless Movement and the IO Methodology [(00:02:44)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=164s). - The unified link enables users to use multiple tools for specific use cases and have one centralized tool as their single source of truth, where they can link out to related content [(00:03:03)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=183s). - For example, users can link out to related files on [[Google Drive]] or emails, and have a link to specific items in tools like [[ClickUp]], Notion, or Heab Base [(00:03:14)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=194s). - The sharing flow has also been optimized, making it faster and more user-friendly, with a simpler model popup window and a more approachable UX [(00:04:19)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=259s). - The sharing link section and public link section have been simplified, allowing users to publish their notes to everyone or share them with a few selected individuals [(00:04:31)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=271s). - However, it is still not possible to share individual items within a note, unlike in tools like ClickUp or Heab Base, where users can right-click and copy a link [(00:04:46)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=286s). - The public link has been rebuilt from scratch and now contains only one link, avoiding confusion, and the note opens by default on the web browser, but users can opt to open it on the desktop app if preferred [(00:05:15)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=315s). ## Quality of Life [(00:05:54)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=354s) - [[Evernote]] has made improvements in the quality of life for its users, including a new mobile user interface and [[Collaboration | collaboration]] features that allow multiple people to work together inside a note document in real-time [(00:05:56)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=356s). - Initially, some features like collaboration and settings were not well-organized, but Evernote has since simplified the navigation by creating a menu accessible by tapping on the profile picture, which includes widgets, trash, settings, help and learning, and account information [(00:06:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=401s). - The settings page has been reorganized to make it clearer and more user-friendly, separating secondary sections from the main settings [(00:06:39)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=399s). - Evernote has also improved the user experience by introducing a filter by reminders feature, which allows users to view notes with reminders in the note list, making it easier to manage tasks and follow-ups [(00:07:00)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=420s). - This feature was previously available but was not well-implemented, and users had to use a tab approach to view notes with reminders, which was slow and clunky [(00:07:13)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=433s). - The filter by reminders feature is now available behind the filters, allowing users to easily view notes with reminders, similar to filtering notes by tags, notebooks, or PDFs [(00:07:30)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=450s). - [[Evernote]] has also improved the calendar section, allowing users to view their week or month on mobile and create events on mobile, with a future update to include 2-way sync for [[Google Drive | Google]] and [[Microsoft Outlook | Outlook]] calendar accounts [(00:08:41)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=521s). - Additionally, Evernote has introduced a public bug fix tracker, which allows users to see if a bug has been fixed, addressing a long-standing request from users who wanted more transparency on bug fixes [(00:09:02)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=542s). ## Outro [(00:09:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=564s) - The video concludes with an apology for only posting about huge improvements or changes, emphasizing that it's about subtleties and slow progress [(00:09:24)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=564s). - The preference is for slower, well-thought-out progress over big jumps that may lead to mistakes, especially considering the workflows of many people [(00:09:33)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=573s). - Viewers are encouraged to subscribe to the channel to stay up to date and to give the video a thumbs up and share it with friends if they like the updates [(00:09:51)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=591s). - The video ends with a farewell, inviting viewers to catch up next time [(00:09:59)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc&t=599s). ## Sources - [website](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJz19UUuXmc)
