BibleReader to Evernote backup
My life lately has been notes backup and Evernote. Its been fun, and I wanted to give those who are missing out on my fun a little teaser of some of the progress I am making on the notes backup. To see a sample of a note that currently exists in both the iPhone app and the Evernote servers click the image to the left.
Notice that the note contains greek, because Evernote supports unicode we believe we should have no problem preserving greek and hebrew in your notes.
So far I can push actual notes from the iPhone to the Evernote servers. I have most of the backup framework laid out and now I am just plugging in the pieces. The hardest part is going to be in keeping the two in sync, and gracefully dealing with outages either with the the Evernote service or network.
I can say that so far I am very impressed with the Evernote service both in its network communication’s responsiveness and in the elegance of the service as a whole. If you have not checked out Evernote yet, I would say go check it out. (No Evernote did not pay me to say that)
Stay tuned for more as I work through the implementation of this…

Hi David – This looks sooooo cool! I’m a WinMo user and am hoping & drooling that this comes to WinMo Bible Reader!
Is what we are seeing BibleReader notes synched in with Evernote? I.E, using the notes within BibleReader and not Evernote itself? I know that Evernote for WinMo doesn’t offer text formatting that the Web version does but will presuming it synchs notes from withing BibleReader that won’t be a problem? Will text format in notes still be the same as now – OTML/HTML?
By the way, really enjoying your Blog!!

Phil,
Thanks for the feedback. The notes you see here were imported directly from our iPhone BibleReader. Even the Evernote app on the iPhone will not let you edit notes that have any formatting markup. We hope that we will be able to allow this and have a few ideas as to how. The format of the notes will be some form of our OTML on our side and on the Evernote side will be the Evernote supported xhtml subset. We will handle translating between the two very similar markups.
Thanks for stopping in.
Stay tuned for more.
