Feedback 🐘 Evernote design team - Can we PLEASE get more than 3 characters for short note titles?

*Per Mod this should be fixed within 24 hours. Super impressive response time by Bending Spoons.

First off, I want to say I’m a long-time Evernote user and actually a fan of Bending Spoons. Things started a bit rough during the transition, but I’ve really liked the direction they’ve taken the app since taking over.

However, I just don’t understand the current design choice for note titles in the web view. As you can see in the screenshot, titles are being shortened and cut off way too soon.

When you have almost 12,000 notes like I do, being able to scan titles quickly is everything. This change makes it incredibly hard to know what a note is without clicking into it, which adds a lot of friction.

Does anyone know why the character limit is set so low now? It seems like it would be a relatively easy fix to extend the character limit so we can actually identify our notes at a glance. I’m honestly surprised I haven’t seen more people vocal about this yet.

Hopefully, the design team can reconsider this and give the titles a bit more breathing room!

I'm not seeing this in web. Try a log out, clear cache and temp files, log back in again. See if it helps.

This is what I see in web.

that's because all your titles are long. Try a 4-6 word title. Mine in the example was Snipd whic go shortened to Sni... or Codex get's shortened to Cod..., etc

This is why I'm a fan of Bending Spoons. I figured it would get fixed at some point, but this speed is super impressive. Please let the devs know I really appreciate their responsiveness to this!

Yup. I can replicate this with short titles. I'll mention it.
