Hi,
I’m currently testing Inkdrop App over Boostnote that I’ve been using for some time as my primary markdown note-taking app. I like your tool but I have several ideas/feature requests. Can you please comment on these points?
Some of them may be a plugin ideas, some can be native features.
Important
These would be really need as other note-taking tools like Evernote/Boostnote etc. also have it:
compressed view of notes list - one line with title only – or is it possible to change in custom theme? – native feature?
One line:
Default Inkdrop view:
2. extract default note title from the first matter - h1 tag - if there is no other title – plugin idea?
3. count the number of notes in notebook – native feature?
4. editor Rulers - 80,120 chars like this - it’s useful when I want to write developer notes… – plugin idea?
4. ability to set snippet default language like this – plugin idea?
5. strikeout done checkboxes in default preview theme like this – native UI feature?
6. automatic web-page title detection when pasting URL on editor together with this – plugin idea?
Nice to have
These would be nice to have and competitive advantage for
Hi Takuya,
I’m trying the I have several more ideas
Ability to mark notes as favorite (like stars in Evernote)
Ability to attach other file types (eg. PDFs) like this - this is must have functionality
Ability to give a name to the revision.
Ability to reorder notebooks manually
Regarding no. 1 “compressed view of notes list” - maybe there could be setting for number of lines - sometimes 2 would be also great and it would be easy.
I found out, that the number of CPU wake events is quite huge - this is important when running on laptop battery. The amount is higher than Chrome with 30 tabs opened.
I think, that Inkdrop may be #1 for dev note taking apps, if you can figure these features.
Yeah, it would be nice to have.
As it is based on personal preferences, I guess it would be nice to be a plugin.
Honestly, the current view is my personal preference.
I could add more view modes and options but I won’t use them, and that would make the app unstable.
So, to keep the app stable, I would like them to be plugins.
2. Extract default note title from the first matter
Yep, it would be a plugin.
Basically, features that depend on personal preference would be plugins.
Keeping the app simple and clean is crucial for the app.
3. Count the number of notes in notebook
That would be necessary as a native feature. I’ll plan it to support.
4. Editor rulers
Plugin idea.
5. Ability to set snippet default language
I’m afraid to say no.
Because Inkdrop is a note-taking app but not a snippet management tool.
6. Automatic web-page title detection when pasting URL on editor together
It can be solved with other tools.
I’m using a Chrome extension to copy web page link in Markdown:
7. Webclip chrome extension
There is a plugin for webclipping but unfortunately the author doesn’t maintain it anymore:
I found out, that the number of CPU wake events is quite huge - this is important when running on laptop battery. The amount is higher than Chrome with 30 tabs opened.
That’s weird. Basically the app doesn’t do anything except for syncing and indexing when you edit. I’ll fix it if I could reproduce.
