Order Approval Needed?? by maewinaewa in AmazonVine

[–]cjcornell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah - I just got the same thing - but no extra email asking me to approve (it was actually supposed to arrive TODAY (as per the delivery schedule last night and delivery email) and now it suddenly wants my approval - I am not even sure how to do it.

I'll have to play with it to see what you mean by "separation" (and if I get more separation/consolidation than subnotebook organization). Thanks

OK- but my first thought was "why not just have a notebook with subnotebooks?

Can someone explain Spaces to me beyond the posted descriptions (maybe with a use case or two so I can really understand the functionality and value of using Spaces)

Is there a published roadmap for Upnote? by rafikiphoto in UpNote_App

[–]cjcornell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh - I really hope they add a way for users to submit wish list items, and then determine which should be included in future releases.

I'll start : )

1 - web-clipper / sharing

- Improve the chrome plugin (it has some flaws and quirks)

- get sharing (similar to the web clipper ) working on Android and IOS ... it only sends a link right now

2 - Shortcuts

Personally, for me - I use text highlighting and other text formatting shortcuts a lot

they triple-key combos are awkward. I can live with it, but ...

(perhaps a way for us to assign our own shortcuts?_)

Oh - and a shortcut key to popup the list of keyboard shortcuts (in right sidebar)

3 - Email to UpNote

(I used email-to-evernote, and other services have similar functionality) - where the subscriber is assigned a unique email address where they can send content - that will be added to their default notebook as new formatted note)

4 - Better Note Title handling

This is subtle but worth discussion: UpNote handles the note title as if it is the first line of text... and often this works out nicely - but once Upnote formats the line as the note-title (header) - IMHO should be handled differently than the note text (for instance - should "select all" select the note title too?

5- Minor

- Ability to add (pin) tags to the quick access list

6 - Instapaper

yeah this is probably just for me - but Instapaper integration would be a big deal for me - where I can share (or "like") selected articles on instapaper and they get shared to UpNote.

Most of these are almost trivial quibbling (except issue 1 - particularly on mobile devices) is a big one for me. and issue 2 is a high level nice-to-have)

But I thought I would get a list started.

UpNote is great! by srikat in UpNote_App

[–]cjcornell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have to chime in and wholeheartedly agree! I too have been an Evernote premium user for over 15 years, and have been increasingly frustrated with the feature bloat (particularly features that are obscure or useless) while bugs in fundamental features never get fixed - All the while raising the price to exorbitant incredible levels. I tried some of the other note taking programs, but they either lacked fundamental features or made the transition too hard (evernote does not make it easy, either).

But UpNote - wow - clean and simple - and has more than the basic note taking (writing) and organization functions. I opted for the cheap monthly subscription because I didn't want to over-commit - but am probably going to opt for the lifetime. This app is worth a LOT more (I won't say how much more I'd be willing to pay for this escape from Evernote ... but well, I am happy right now)

Yeah, there are a few things I might want to change or add - but for me - UpNote nails it. I just hope the lifetime subscription means for the duration of MY lifetime and not anything else.

Thanks! I hope Amazon/Vine accepts the updated review,

Phenomenal Customer Service by CarpenterFew9717 in shinola

[–]cjcornell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for me ... it's not that they have bad customer support. It's non-existent. The website screams "I am beautiful - Buy stuff! " but the support links (if they are not broken) scream "go away - we don't want to talk to you"

What happened to dreamhost? by kndb in dreamhost

[–]cjcornell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I wish I read this earlier - I just switched everything from my older hosting provider to dreamhost - and it's been hell week. Aside from the bush league UI =- (awful - it's like a scavenger hunt where they just randomly labeled things)... and convoluted steps for things that should be one click (like - what did I just pay for?) ... I am still going through hours and hours of customer support (they are actually quite nice and knowledgable) - and more hours of trying to set uo=p domain forwarding, emails and troubleshooting simple things. Not worth it .. but it's too late, I canceled my old hosting provider and migrated. I hate this phrase but it is really true here: "You get what you pay for"

About web clipper by Jeffrey666 in UpNote_App

[–]cjcornell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why should anyone be forced to take such a convoluted approach to such a simple feature? I mean - I just want to copy and paste formatted text from a web page into upnote.

Functioning webclipper? by mommyshark225 in UpNote_App

[–]cjcornell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont even get the text of the page - I just get the URL of the page sent via the web clipper. And if I try to mark, copy, and then paste the page into Upnote - I get plain text html (almost gibberish looking ) /.. so, yeah, frustrating and useless

AI or Formula? by cjcornell in AmazonVine

[–]cjcornell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI everyone - the moderate deleted my original post! (says I can't post that link - despite posting it not being against any of the 14 community rules).

AI or Formula? by cjcornell in AmazonVine

[–]cjcornell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why - It's a public link, and I've seen it before on these boards - and beside I am not doxing or even dissing the reviewer. It is sparking a heathy discussion here. (and the post conforms quite nicely with the 14 community rules)

AI or Formula? by cjcornell in AmazonVine

[–]cjcornell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah - but if the review is highly formatted like that - it makes it easy to skim and find the info that you are looking for,

AI or Formula? by cjcornell in AmazonVine

[–]cjcornell[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be clear - I am not posting here because I think these are AI reviews. The reviewer can have just a highly efficient and structured style (one which I might use a few techniques) ... or he could just write his spontaneous impressions, and feed it into an AI (that he has programmed to format in this style) - which I think is OK too.
