Hi everyone, as part of being new to the team, I’ve gone through all the feature requests from here (thanks @JamesT for the initiative!) and then collated all the links, as well as those still in development.
I back @freisatz : I’ll see also fixing bugs is prio 1, because for me code quality goes before quantity or featureitis (means as many features as possible).
PDF support (similar to zettelzen, including things like searchability)
Web clipper
Basically I’m sorta locked into Evernote currently because they have absolutely top-tier support for searching text content of images, and for anything stored in a PDF as well. This includes images stored in a PDF, which even Apple Notes seems to struggle with, considering I was able to find a scanned document in Evernote via a specific search but not in Apple Notes. Similarly their web clipper works really well in general, as well as search of other attachments such as Word documents.
Also as a couple random things to maybe throw on the pile of feature requests: Email to create a new note, and tables that support images in the cells. I keep a pretty large table where I put an image on one side and a link in the other with ideas for gifts for my wife, and I rarely see something that can handle that. (I also color code rows for priority or if I’ve already bought something, but that’s not strictly necessary because I could do strikethrough on something, or some other trick, to accomplish a similar effect)
The only thing that feels “missing” to me is a small but important thing: I wish backlinks on a parent card were visible when that card is being viewed. Backlinks are only visible on child cards below the parent card, or in preview mode. When the card is “opened” there no indication that links to it even exist. Conversely, child cards are not visible in preview mode. Feels like a mistake/oversight, and hampers the way I would like to use Supernotes: I want to be able to link to ”topic” cards and be confident that if I view the topic card I’ll know about all backlinks and child cards right away.
Even better would be if those backlinks could be transcluded by default, though I could see that being a bit more challenging design-wise then simply adding the “quote and number” backlinks button.
Beyond that, it would be awesome to be able to use a Tabletop / Whiteboard View, particularly with a Nested whiteboard aspect like Muse has or with ways of viewing hierarchy spatially, kind of like combining graph, tabletop, and mindmap views which I know have been discussed on this forum before.
