CardDesk Is Dangerous

I just tried CardDesk which I had signed up for earlier today.

The sign-in screen puts my email address for user name, which it is not.

Naturally, I couldn’t log in until I put my user name in the user name space.

I set up a desk space, and dragged about seven Evernote docs over to it. About the time I did that I got a repetitive error message and CardDesk would not find any more items in Evernote, which met my search word, and provided the source list from which I had dragged the aforementioned items to the desk space to become cards.

After repeated tried, CardDesk helpfully suggested I log out and log back in.

I did that. And learned that my work, and the desk space itself, had not been saved.

To make it especially helpful, I could not find a help or contact link for CardDesk.

Perhaps we now know why it is still in beta.

Too bad, it is a smart looking program, and it adds a useful way of working with material in Evernote.

At least I could get CardDesk to work - for at least a little while, which is more than I’ve been able to do with TuskTools. Bad enough that we have to use work-around software because Evernote misses all but the most basic of tools. But it’s worse when the work-around software.
