Postach.io blogging service wins Evernote Devcup Developer Championship

We are pleased to announce the winners of the Evernote Devcup 2013 Developer Championship, whose participants were supposed to present the best applications and services based on the Evernote platform.

Every year, we offer developers to extend the capabilities of their applications with Evernote. This year almost 200 products took part in the championship. We awarded the top twelve products in each thematic category, then narrowed the list to six finalists and, finally, now the three best Devcup apps were identified by a vote of Evernote Conference visitors.

Gold: Postach.io

The Canadian team of Sean Adrian and Gavin Vickery worked on the documentation for the previously created product Quote Robot , and, according to Adrian, the existing tools for publishing on the Internet were disappointing. So they decided to write their own service.

Since they worked on the documentation in Evernote, like many others, they decided that the ideal solution would be a tool that took the written and quickly published materials without any intermediate steps between Evernote and the Web.

As a result, Postach.io appeared. The project, which won first place in Evernote Devcup 2013, and its creators received a prize of $ 20,000. This award was awarded to Postach.io, both as a result of a careful selection of a jury consisting of representatives from Evernote, and following the results of user voting after the product presentation team at Evernote Conference .

If you are writing to an internet audience and are using Evernote, you should try this service. It works very simply. You create an entry in Evernote. Then you assign the posts the label “published”, after which it appears in your blog. By making changes to the Evernote note, you immediately change the blog post attached to it.

Of course, the service offers much more opportunities for blogs than just text export. Postach.io supports several topics, discussion system and integration with a number of other services, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Other integrations are planned in the future.

This is not the first experience of integrating blog services with Evernote, but Postach.io is a product of a different class. It’s better to see once ... This is a great integration with Evernote, created by a team of people who love their work and our service. Congratulations to the Postach.io team!

Silver: Context Booster

Context Booster processes the contents of Evernote notes with a “contextboost” tag and then searches the web for related information. For example, if you mentioned in a note of famous people, Context Booster will create notes about these persons in your account and link them with the original existing note.

The application also works with images. For example, if you mark a photo of a building, the Context Booster will determine this building. Stumbled upon an interesting tweet? Just add it to your favorites, and Context Booster will save this tweet as an Evernote note, and then find the information associated with it on the Internet.

This is a very good application, and Sebastian Quepers, a representative of the developer, spoke at our conference very well. You can register at Contextbooster.com .

Bronze: Biscuit

Biscuit is an iPhone application that helps you replenish foreign words. If the application is running, each time you copy a word in a foreign language to the clipboard, Biscuit will show you the definition of the word in your native language, and also save it to the list for study in the Biscuit application.

The application itself works well with word lists, offering convenient tools for learning and testing new knowledge. If you wish, you can receive pop-up reminders to repeat the accumulated material throughout the day. As a nice bonus, the app is also integrated with Evernote Peek for iPad.

Biscuit is already available in the App Store and very quickly gained an impressive user base. The application is free and can help you learn a foreign language more productively. You can download it here .



Congratulations again to all winners of Evernote Devcup!
