In fact original EverNote implementation (EverNote 2.0) used physical notebook metaphor. Notes appeared as an "endless tape": https://www.phonearena.com/news/Two-thirds-of-app-users-in-U.S.-have-paid-for-at-least-one_id30191#media-59667 https://www.phonearena.com/news/Two-thirds-of-app-users-in-U... I think we (initial EverNote dev team [1]) were first who came up with reasonable virtual list implementation for notes. The metaphor of notes tape (a.k.a. "writing notes down") was quite natural for most of people, that's why EverNote got so many users initially. The key point was to add powerful search tools (including OCR and image recognition) and categorization (tags) on top of that tape. Just in case: Sciter's SDK contains sample implementation[2] of such virtual tape: https://quark.sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/vtape.png https://quark.sciter.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/vtape.pn...
