why is evernote diverging so far from their core product?
there are other flash card apps that already do this way better and i dont see evernote catching up anytime soon
the peek thing looks cool but it's not a useful gimmick because
1. you want the ability to use longer questions as well as images and video in your flashcards
2. you want to be able to move on to the next question quickly without the carpel-tunnel implications of physically unfolding this cover
3. proper flashcard learning requires more complex interaction than this. Each time a card is finished one needs to indicate how well they learned the card (among other things) In order to do this people would have to use 2 hands here.
The evernote marketing team is at the top of their game, as are the UI designers. But this is just brand cannibalization -- leveraging the evernote brand to get sales in an unrelated market with an inferior product based on a gimmick.
I use evernote all day every day, and I use mostly homemade flash cards. Evernote doesn't owe you anything if you're a free user, and if you're premium, then you obviously dig it enough to pay for it, so what's the problem?
