Comment on Show HN: Evernote powered website/blogging platform

Comments

I'll definitely give it a shot as I've become a fairly heavy Evernote user and the templates look great. The problem is most of what I post to Evernote is typically in the form of short notes, ideas, lists, bullet points or anything that I've typically "notepaded" in the past. In other words, nothing that would be considered "blog-worthy" out of the box. (edit: maybe Tweet-worthy?) So I would have to flesh out these thoughts into something worth reading on this platform the same way I do now with any notes I compile: in a word processor.

(Note that I have no idea whether my habits fit the typical Evernote use case but I figured I'd throw it out there even if I'm my own cohort.)

I've got the same issue actually - I've been thinking of using Postach.io as a way to collect random musings and photos of text in books I'm reading / pondering.

Evernote is perfect for using as a commonplace book [1] for exactly this purpose. The only drawback is that it's hard to view in a chronological order, which is a key part of the commonplacing idea. Seems like a blog platform on top of it could solve this right away.

Now I just need to get around to reading those books I want to excerpt from...

?? Evernote lets you view by created date or updated date, I use both of those all the time.
