This is actually awesome. Two great upgrades!

The '@' links were, for me managing lots of interlinked research, Notion's one main advantage over Evernote. Now Evernote wins everywhere....

Such small features but so useful. You can also use [[ to activate the linking pop up.

Love the way I now can pin notes to my Home page. Also to Notebooks.

I've been using pin to notebooks a lot and its so useful. Great new feature.

While we are talking new features ... I'd love to be able to nest notebooks deeper. My workaround is to use tags in lieu of notebooks since tags can be nested infinitely, but that means I lose out on features like pinning notes to the top.

Yeah, there's been some chat recently about how to improve notebooks, they're kind of in the investigation stage so I've passed on your comment. I would love to see drag and drop reordering of notebooks and stacks.

I am thrilled with all the new features being introduced. Quite a turn-around from the recent past. Kudos to Evernote!

I am surprised that Shortcuts isn't treated better. That it's not on the home page and not yet available as a custom option seems to defy the whole purpose of having Shortcuts. Sure hope it's added. In fact, I hope for not just a Shortcuts button but a widget that shows you your Shortcuts as soon as you open your app. Heck, I even want to be able to pin my top Shortcuts to the top of the Shortcuts list!

Hopefully more customisation for shortcuts is coming soon. I think either next week or the week after another little customisation will make most folk happy.

They should make Widgets an option. Many people miss the old mobile screen that mirrored the Desktop interface. You can access it but have to go to Widgets each time.

I've seen the question asked but not sure if it will arrive. Some more custom options coming quite soon though which should help a little.

Yes. Several people have mentioned it on Twitter.

I really appreciate the new @-link way to link to notes.

When they added the slash-command to create a new linked note, I kept creating new notes instead of linking to existing onces – as ”/ant” (in Swedish, or I guess ”/not(e)” in the English interface) surfaced both the Create new linked note command, as well as Link to note, and required me to use the arrow key or the mouse to choose the right command.

Being able to @-link alleviates that.

I find / commands a little awkward myself, use them a little but not a lot. I've mentioned a couple of times about using the ESC key to cancel any @ or / pop ups so you never no.

@ is very useful.

Pin to Notebook still doesn't work for me.

It really is. Quite possibly the best feature added in the last 10 years :)

Looks like its rolling out. A few folk reporting to have it. I thought it might be a bit quicker than this!

I find it slightly annoying that it is included in the release notes when you first open after an install and then it's not there!

Yeah. I've heard this quite a bit and it was mentioned in a call ages ago. Would be nice if they wrote rolling out <name of feature>.

I shouldn't complain really as it's nice to be getting so many features I've craved for so long coming at such a fast pace.
