I still don’t understand what all the fuss is about on Evernote (not to mention their aversion to Linux). However, some kind of note taking utility and having all the related data in the cloud still relives me from the nuisance of syncing files across different computers.
You never know what people will do with those data, but who gives a fuck unless you have a terror plot or something…
Dale L. suggested NeverNote, a Linux client for Evernote, and this looks promising. I haven’t used the application thoroughly yet, but this certainly is a much improvement over the web client.
Here’s what I did to install it (version 0.94) on my Debian notebook.
Download nevernote-0.94_amd64.deb from the Sourceforge repository, and then
$ sudo dpkg -i nevernote-0.94_amd64.deb
For me, this is all I needed to do.
All the files, including the startup script, are installed under /usr/share/nevernote. I can launch the client by explicitly running the script:
$ /usr/share/nevernote/nevernote.sh
Perhaps it makes more sense to have a symlink to this script:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/nevernote/nevernote.sh /usr/local/bin/nevernote
If I put such a symlink, the file /usr/share/nevernote/nevernote.sh needs to be modified so that the variable NEVERNOTE within the startup script points explicitly to /usr/share/nevernote:
NEVERNOTE=/usr/share/nevernote
Otherwise the application cannot properly link to libraries.
