“People don’t understand it,” she laughs. As a director of product marketing for Evernote, she often has a difficult time explaining to people on the outside what product marketing is. She relies on them to illustrate even her everyday speech, because to her, communications and visuals are inextricably linked. In this series, we’ll spotlight employees and the clever and creative ways they use the product! Get some inspiration from Evernote insiders. The service is very minimal right now, given it was built over the weekend in between those midnight Nerf Gun wars and all, but the plan is to add more customization options in the future, including the ability to edit the fonts or colors of the text, perhaps, the ability to add photos, and more.Inspired by airy surroundings and collaborative atmosphere, Evernoters happily mix work with life and share their discoveries about using Evernote. (And word has it, the Evernote staff here, too, got pretty excited for this idea as well – they told EverSlide’s founders that they talked about the hack amongst themselves for some fifteen minutes after hearing about the team’s plans.) The team met at the hackathon, and said they got the idea for the project by reading the Evernote forums where employees had posted ideas for hacks.
The hack was created by computer science student Michelle Fernandez and Andrew Leung, who’s currently in between work. The first line of text in your Evernote note becomes the slide’s title, the second line becomes the slide’s content, and to create a second slide, you just insert a horizontal line from Evernote’s editing menu at the top. As you might guess by the name, the service turns your Evernote notes into slideshow presentations. EverSlide is a basic, but potentially very useful, hack built over the weekend at the TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2013 hackathon.
