Supernotes 2 is almost here! We have scheduled the upgrade to be on the 18th February between 1am - 2am GMT. There may be some downtime while the upgrade takes place and we apologize for any inconvenience in advance. Supernotes 2 is a BIG upgrade, and almost every part of the platform has been improved in some way. We’ve put together some preliminary release notes of the major things that have changed, so you can get a good idea of what is coming in the new version. We can’t wait to share all of this with you!
Card Editing
- New Super Editor
- Feature parity with current editor – automatic lists, markdown hotkeys, etc. should all behave as previously (or made better).
- Enriched Markdown – Markdown syntax is now greyed out and elements are presented as they would be in display view. i.e. bold is bold, code is syntax-highlighted and monospaced etc.
- Multi-cursor support – highlight some text and then press CMD / CTRL + D to quickly select all instances of that phrase and modify it in one fell swoop
- Improved Universal Coupler (“Add Element…” menu)
- Templates - save the content of your card as a template for future use
- Hotkey now works in both the card name and body
- Card List Items now include parent information for more context - community.supernotes.app, community.supernotes.app
