NixNote History

This project began several years ago as a side project written in Java. The initial goal was not to provide a full client, but to allow me to learn more about Evernote and to attempt to fulfill a few personal needs. Eventually it grew into a full client and was released under the name “NeverNote” in the hopes that others found it useful.

NeverNote was eventually renamed to “NixNote” at Evernote's request because they felt the name was too similar to Evernote and didn't want to confuse their users.

NixNote went through several releases until it reached 1.4. At that time, I decided to begin a rewrite to bypass some of the issues I had encountered with the Java and my . The overall goal of the new NixNote 2 was to provide a better user experience while still providing as many of the same features as NixNote 1.x. There will most likely not be any new releases of the Java based NixNote 1.x beyond version 1.6.
