EverPress plugin impressions
I finally got the EverPress plugin working. I’m not sure what the original problem was, but it wouldn’t sync with my notebooks as intended. I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled it a couple times and things started working. Thanks to Martin Hawksey for quick and helpful support of EverPress.
Unfortunately now that I can sync notes, I see a couple of limitations. The first and most important one is that it only seems to include one chart image when it builds a post. It also truncates the post after some unconfigurable amount of text. These both may really be issues with EverNote’s API and the way RSS works, but they force you to divert to the EverNote site to get the full view of the post. When you get there, you still may not be able to see a full chart because the note viewer page has a big header full of not much, and it takes up a lot of screen real estate. Again, not a problem with the EverPress plugin really, but it does damage the reader’s experience.
The other problem I ran into was relatively minor for me, but might be more important for others. There appears to be a timezone sync issue. I have my blog set for US/Pacific. EverNote also uses US/Pacific when I create posts (not sure what it does when I’m traveling). However, when a post get’s created from a note, it has a timestamp in the future. I didn’t count, but it’s probably GMT without a timezone spec. This causes the post to be put in a holding tank to be published several hours in the future. I’ve got a question in to Martin about this, and maybe it’s just a simple config error somewhere.
Another thing is that you can’t specify a sync time that is smaller than once per day, so if you are trying to post relatively real-time things, this probably isn’t the solution for you.
All that said, EverNote is a great tool, and EverPress is also a great plugin, just not applicable to my situation I guess. Too bad.
