My junk drawer file for my Summon Webscryer columns at Knights of the Dinner Table is the mother of all long-form notes, sometimes containing dozens of entries. Long-form notes: Some of the quick-hit notes evolve into something more: first drafts of articles for Nuketown, collections of links for work, etc. Quick-hit notes: Articles, posts, and websites I want to investigate further. I also have smaller shopping lists for family gifts, my RPG campaigns, and my own geeky pursuits. Shopping lists: I maintain a “Never-ending List of Groceries”, which I refer to whenever my wife asks me what I want from the grocery store for the week. To do lists: Day-specific or ongoing, for work, home, and hobbies campaign. So what am I syncing? There are four kinds of things: No, what I needed was a service that let me sync small-ish text files between different computers and mobile devices … and I wasn’t going to pay Evernote for that privilege. I didn’t make use of its myriad bells and whistles, like multimedia syncing and web clipping, because I have other ways of solving those problems. My use of Evernote was pretty basic - most of what I did was sync text notes between my various devices. I don’t begrudge Evernote their decision I was the sort of user who was costing them money without providing anything but another collection of notes to sync. This severely hampered my Home Mac/Work Mac/iPad/iPhone workflow, and led me to try some other services: Google Keep and SimpleNote. Earlier in the summer Evernote limited their free service to only allow syncing between two devices.
