@fortelabs Intrigued that you are now using Obsidian (a lot?). Have you stopped using Evernote? I’d love to see a thread or YT video explaining how/why you’ve pivoted to Obsidian, or if using both in parallel, how you use each. You’ve always been a great evangelist for Evernote.

@fortelabs Have you tried the Transcribe feature in Evernote? It’s excellent on handwriting, though I’ve not tried it on long docs.

@u2songs Glad to see an update on the second book. However, I’d be sceptical as to whether it will be delivered by the time my subscription is due for renewal on March 1. As the second book is effectively the 2024 gift I wonder will there be a subsequent 2025 gift?

@RTEkildareNORTH @FergalBowers @JohnKennyMedia Great service all over the weekend! Thanks for the hard work guys

[David White @dtwhite]

@RTEkildareNORTH Your updates have been very helpful over the weekend, keeping us in touch with proceedings at the count. Thank you!

[David White @dtwhite]

@evernote Excellent. Very useful change. In fact, one of the most welcome changes in the mobile app in ages. Thank you!!

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Nice! One thing to note - there’s a longstanding related bug where 24 megapixel images will not generate thumbnails in EN. Seems to need to be 12mp or less, otherwise thumbnail will just be a grey box

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Has this feature been rolled back? I was fleetingly able to create G-Cal events from EN on iOS, but it was buggy, then the ability disappeared. I’ve never been able to do it on Mac or Win.

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Looking forward to this. The new audio to text feature is excellent. Although I won’t need it that often, I converted an old radio clip of a family member and the output was perfect. Punctuations , capitalisations of local proper nouns etc flawless.

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio This sounds great. Looking forward to see what it enables in the future. Is going back to native mobile & desktop EN apps feasible?

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Can Boolean operators be added on mobile for search? Various saved searches on desktop don’t work on iOS 😲

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Excellent!

@markgurman @gruber @tim_cook I wouldn’t have thought Tim Cook was in the Logan Roy mold 😂

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Also, perhaps this row should not be fixed, but scroll up & down with the notes list as it’s taking up a lot of screen real estate?

[David White @dtwhite]

@fedesimio Overall great improvement! One bit of feedback: when i click into a note or shortcut, the new bottom menu disappears & there is just grey space. Bug?

@conor_pope Both Lidl & Aldi’s weetabix. I’d love to know if Weetabix actually make the same product for Lidl & Aldi and it’s just rebranded.

@fedesimio @ChipWhitehouse There's a weird bug that this would give an opportunity to fix - 24 MP images will not display in the thumbnail, and given the iPhone main cam captures in 24 MP these days, would be good to use as thumbnails.

[David White @dtwhite]

@evernote Like it so far! Would be great to add filters by file type (PDF, DOC, XLS etc) and notebook/tag, possibly implemented like the filter buttons on the main EN search:
