I'd like a combination of Evernote and Workflowy. Workflowy is an editable tree of information, but every branch/leave is only one line of text. Screenshot: http://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Workflowy.png http://stillblondeafteralltheseyears.com/wp-content/uploads/... Every branch of the tree should be a Evernote-style multi line note with text formatting functionality. The tree would be a file system like structure, but the Workflowy UI feels much less clunky than Google Drive/Dropbox or similar services. Workflowy supports marking nodes as completed, so a service like this could even work as task management system.

Agree so much. Beyond the their-server and sync errors, the biggest missing feature of Evernote is task outlines as good as workflowy.

If Workflowy gets a bookmarklet, I'd use it more often. It is no nonsense honest service in its space.

If I can't have embedded pictures it's a non-starter for me. That knocks out everybody, really. Just synced text, even if it happens to be markdown text so it's a bit prettier, is not valuable to me. Evernote's ability to quickly drag in some pictures and throw some text in to explain them is what I want. A real notebook allows me to sketch. A digital notebook must also allow me to incorporate concepts that require pictures because they can't be easily written as text. To improve Evernote, I would like the "notebooks" to actually be tags, so the same document could appear to reside in multiple places. I would like it to have h1,h2,h3 header tags, so I could build documentation that had structure, rather than just manually making some text big and bold to pretend to be a header. I would like a "table" creator or tag, so I could add table data easily. I will never give up my embedded pictures though.
