Feature wishlist for the Penultimate note application

via cocoabox.com

Penultimate is a really nice emulation of a paper notebook on the iPad. It's a great place to do some thinking, much as if you were sketching on a whiteboard or notepad.

Here's some ideas that would make it even nicer:

  • really embrace the notepad metaphor, and add the ability to graffiti the notebook cover, inside and out 
  • add some more notebook covers/designs
  • two-fingered gestures for page flipping rather than hot spots
  • be able to "flick through" a notepad's contents from the notepad view, to figure out which to pick up 
  • integration with Evernote 
  • add save to the iPad's built-in gallery

Photo your whiteboard or shopping list and have it searchable: JotNot, Evernote and iPhone

Integration spotlight: JotNot for iPhone

evernote-jotnot

JotNot for iPhone is a nifty app that corrects your less-than-perfect photos and sends them into Evernote. Whether you’ve taken a snapshot of a business card at a wacky angle, a photos of a whiteboard under poor lighting conditions, or an off-kilter receipt, JotNot will magically fix contrast and let you correct the angles—turning your snapshot into a straightened, cleaner version of its former self. It’s like turning your iPhone camera into a scanner.

I just tried this, and it actually works, even with my casual handwriting. Color me very impressed indeed.

Evernote and Omnifocus integration wish

I use OmniFocus to manage my lists of projects and next actions for GTD. One of the nicest things about OmniFocus is its integration with Apple Mail. If you use the "OmniFocus: Send to Inbox" service, then your new action in OmniFocus is linked with the mail message's URI. One click and you're back in the original email message, no matter which folder you moved it to.
 
Now, OmniFocus is not really the place to store supporting reference material for projects, so I've been using Evernote for this purpose. What would make the workflow simpler is if Evernote supported opening a note by URI, the same way that Apple Mail does. That way it would be very easy to cross-link supporting material into OmniFocus, and have it accessible with one click.
 
This may seem like an edge use case, but one of the principles of GTD is that you should have your supporting materials easily to hand when you need them.
