Evernote for Developers

I've been using Evernote for a while now. I found myself using it a lot while I was travelling by train, as I'd sync between home, work and my laptop over my "3g" (actual 3g service may drop down to GPRS speeds without warning, thanks Vodafone NZ!), but I was never quite happy with the client software.

The mac client looks nice (which reminds me I need to write about my mac), the Windows client is adequate (much improved recently, but still not amazing), and the Windows Mobile client is pretty mediocre. It's still a great service, but as a developer I'm allowed to be picky right?

Anyway I was glad to read today about the release of the Evernote API. With Mac and Windows scripting options for simple command line applications as well as a full API, it should spawn a few yet unthought of uses for Evernote and maybe a few interesting options for alternative clients.

I was glad to read about the Evernote API also. To be honest i prefer the mac client over the windows, and the iphone client is just ok.

Still its a good note taking tool. always useful.

It really comes into it's own when you have a lot of computers and store gtd/todo type info in text files, like I do :)

It's interesting that the iPhone client isn't too slick - you'd think that'd be a great platform for apps like this.. maybe it'll be the first platform to benefit from the API.

...and how is the mac? I hope you haven't completely ignored/replaced OSX with windows on it.

No, I haven't! I've meant to write my "I'm a windows guy and I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a mac" post for a little while now, so I'll post that soon. But although I have a Bootcamp partition with Vista, and a Fusion install with Windows 2k3 server, I'm very much using and liking OSX.
