Same thing here. I love the interface of the new iPhone 3.0 Evernote, but cannot view notes, which renders it completely useless untill this issue is fixed.

Improve note editor usability

I relly love Evernote, but the tedious editor sometimes gets to me.

I'd love to see some improvements so the editor wouldn't feel so awkward to use. Preferably, a total usability rewamp, but to get started, here are some concrete suggestions:

Improved button bar






Improved font menu



Further thoughts on this for those especially interested:

1. Fix the formatting errors and changing lineshift problems caused by pasting content or using the web clipper (i.e. formatting changes not being saved, lineshifts coming and going etc.) Ideas might include:
   
   
   
   • A "remove formatting" button (I can't get CTRL + SPACE to work in all cases)
   
   
   • Automatic cleanup of pasted content when it's pasted
   
   
   • Fix save/display code, so that changes are actually saved the way they look when you edit notes
   
   
   
   
    
   



2. Increase the efficiency of use of the editor:
   
   
   
   • Add keyboard shortcuts that work on european laptop keyboards (CTRL + ] or CTRL + SHIFT + > doesn't)
   
   
   • Add "predefined style" shortcuts: Heading 1, Heading 2 and Normal, and add keyboard shortcuts for these (F1, F2, F3)
   
   
   • Mimick MS Word shortcuts to change between the above: CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW LEFT = Increase heading level, CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW RIGHT = decrease heading level
   
   
   • Allow users to define the H1, H2 and Normal styles (font and font size)
   
   
   
   
    
   



3. Allow for richer editing of the notes in the "tape" view.

Delete-button on the "standalone" note window

I'd like a "delete note" button on the toolbar of the expanded note window (not in the tape).

I use Evernote as an inbox and a GTD tool, and often delete notes. It's a pain having to search for a note in the tape to delete it when it's actually already open in the window I'm looking at.

Same goes for being able to edit tags. Stick a tag icon in which opens the tag dialog box.

Bjørn Wang replied on February 11, 2009 21:49 to the idea "Internote Linking" in Evernote:

This is an essential feature.

Evernote needs two things:
1) Ability to link between notes
2) Ability to refer to notes by URL. This way I can refer to notes from MindMeister for example, and all my other great Web 2.0 tools.
