Hi, my name is Salto, I am a designer of Habra and all TM projects. Usually they call me the minister of large melons (Deniskin, for example, the president). We also have a cabinet.
Today I will say a few words about how I use Evernote in my work, or, as I call it, “the elephant”. If someone calls this post an advertisement, I don’t mind :) All the same, all this was written under the real impression of a good service and convenient program.
Usually ideas come to mind spontaneously, they form instantly and there are often a lot of them. There is no need to keep ideas in your head, they need to be expressed, written down, sketched and arranged a new way. At first, ideas are discussed with a couple of people, and then, if they are worthwhile, then they reach everyone in the company. Then it gets into the todo list, in the lists of project managers. Actually, we, with the interface designer, Max Rossomakhin, think about scenarios, interaction, and come up with an interface. Then I draw everything. Then we test. Then comes the update. So Evernote plays one of the main roles in this whole process!
I make the first rough draft of the idea and put it in the Evernote notebook, which everyone in the company has access to. In this notebook, guys can discuss the idea at any time and write down their thoughts (by the way, co-editing works in premium accounts and this is a significant advantage justifying paying a fairly inexpensive annual subscription). By a certain time, I look at the list of features and we determine the priority: which ones need to be done in the near future, and which ones can be postponed until a late date. Thus, this notebook becomes a list by which you can monitor the performance of work (GTD).

After Gleb (our web-technologist) imprints the layout, I look at the result and if something is wrong or some element needs to be redone, I make a screenshot (by the way, I am glad that there is no need to save anything to disk, go to Any ipikcher, upload, send a link - why, if in Evernote all this is done in just one click), I mark problem areas with words, if necessary - I draw and fill in a special notebook. The formatter sees what needs to be corrected, corrects and marks the task as done. Cool. I do not need to be distracted from work, walk from room to room. Everyone is happy, like elephants :)
The only thing that upsets us a little is the impossibility of connecting someone’s shared notebook to a desktop client. Those. now you have to go into the web application (it must be said that it is inferior in its qualities to the desktop client), choose a notebook and edit it - let me remind you, all this is available only through the site. I hope in future versions synchronization of connected notebooks will be available, at least for premium accounts.
Thanks to the authors of Evernote for a great tool.
