Geeknote is a client for evernote for linux enthusiasts, written in python. It is easy to install and use, the default text editing tool nano can be configured to vim, and it supports markdown syntax. The developers originally developed this project for their own personal needs, to help them handle statistics on their server, such as backups, workload statistics, and logs of different processes. Evernote was chosen because it was the most convenient for them to use evernote.
