TOPIC: Evernote API integration

Dear Developers,

I recently became a member since I love TR. I am also a big fan of Evernote to keep reference material and collect notes. The image OCR and the many different ways to get information inside into Evernote are fantastic. But Evernote is not a GTD or todo manager. TR is great for that.

Evernote have since recently published API's to access and manage notes inside Evernote. ( www.evernote.com/about/developer/api/ )

What would be great is if:

* Notes tagged with "thoughts" or similar in Evernote could automatically be imported to the "Collect Thoughts" to then be processed.

* Items that are marked as reference Items was exported as notes into Evernote automatically.

This would allow me to quickly and easily use TR for what it does best, eg GTD, and Evernote for what it does best, e.g my external brain for reference material. I already have a scansnap scanner that scans papers directly into Evernote, iPhone app to add notes and photos to Evernote etc.

An integrated TR and Evernote solution would be truly great!

Best Regards,
Michael Dalvald

Being an avid user of both Evernote and TR I support this request. :-)

@davald: there's a way to use Evernote for GTD: darrencrawford.com/2009/07/18/my-simple-gtd-evernote-combo/ - seems alluring but a bit complicated for me. Instead of processing I could end up tagging and untagging items.

@vroobelek: Thanks for the link! And I agree, it seems to be a log of tagging and untagging. I used a similar GTD system in Evernote and it worked fine for a small amount of tasks. But when I got more projects and started delegating and get tasks to follow up on a specific date etc etc Evernote simply just was not enough. :-(

That's why I love TR, the easy ways to manage a whole bunch of things. But Evernote fills up another niche really well and definetely have a place that TR can not replace in my workflow. The same way Evernote could not replace TR.

My "hack" so far have been to setup a mail-account specifically for TR usage, and then use e-mail capabilities in both Evernote and TR to connect them both. But that makes the system depend on internet access. Not always possible on the road. The next level in this hack is that I'm thinking about installing a local smtp server on my laptop and use that as the glue between Evernote and TR. But that is just a hack on a hack and things start to get ugly. :)

Would be so much nicer to have a direct integration.

Reqall and Curio do that now and it's pretty cool.

Priority increased.
