In this post I will explain how you can export your notes from Evernote as plain text files in the popular Markdown format. The purpose is of course to make the migration from Evernote to TagSpaces or any other file based note-taking application as painless as possible.

On 22th November we released version 1.9.0. The main improvement is the addition of the 64bit version of TagSpaces for Windows and Mac OS X, based on node-webkit version 0.11.x. Further changes are:

File editor redesign​

One major improvement coming with version 1.8.6 is the redesigning of the file edit functionality. Now you are not forced anymore to confirm every time the saving of a file. And if you have already edited some file, a star will appear behind the file extension, letting you to know this. Since the start is present, editing of title or adding of tags will be impossible until you save your changes.

Version 1.8.5 was released some weeks ago, and now is a high time to present the major new features provided by it.

We just released version 1.8.3 of TagSpaces including the following enhancement:

• New translations added:
  • brazilian-portuguese thanks to thiagomoreira & MichelW
  • portuguese thanks to duarteframos
  • japanese thanks to Solbianca
  • french thanks to Lewis31
  • slovak thanks to Robert Hartl
• Adding the ability to export the folder structure in CSV format to the list perspective
• Adding delete directory functionality, now you are able to delete empty directories in the appication
• Adding rename directory functionality

This week we released version 1.8.1 of TagSpaces, featuring the following improvements and bugfixes:

• We added Chinese as a new language for TagSpaces, here many thanks thanks to AngelinDark. We added also Bulgarian language, which is currently 50% translated.
• Technology Preview of a WebDAV Edition was included in this release, allowing you to host your own TagSpaces on top of a WebDAV server such as ownCloud.
• marked integrated as a new markdown rendering library in the viewerMD, supporting github flavored markdown and tables.
• We enhanced TagSpaces to be able to open files from the command lines, allowing you to associate certain file types to be opened with the application by default
• In the installation packages for OS X, Ubuntu and Android we associate markdown and mhtml files with TagSpaces.
• A download functionality was added, allowing you to save a file locally if you are using the webdav version or just to save a file under another name/location on your device.

Motivation​

Almost since the very first releases of TagSpaces back in the 2013, many users did requested a server based version of TagSpaces. They wanted to use the convenient tagging workflow of TagSpaces on their self hosted ownCloud or in general WebDAV instances. So starting from today this is possible, TagSpaces can now run on servers and once installed you can access your files from anywhere.

Last week we released version 1.8.0 of TagSpaces with two major improvement:

Recently I gave a talk on the quantified self meetup in Munich. In this talk I presented how TagSpaces can be used to manage your health data. Please find here the slides from this talk:

These days there is a real temptation and it’s funny in some strange way to categorize things not only in real life but also in the digital space. To define and categorize music, movies, books, games and another things is catchy. The problem is, that it’s very subjective. For instance, for somebody one book can be "science fiction" but for another "alternate history". It’s based on someone else’s subjectivity.
