Hi,
I love Inkdrop on desktop very much but the mobile app currently is a bit too cumbersome to use. I know a new mobile app is in the roadmap and big thumbs up for that. Hereās some feedback which I would love to see incorporated in the new version:
automatic dark mode please
more theme support please, not only for syntax
in note list: pull down to search is great but should also focus to search immediately so that I can start searching
in note list: the create new button is in strange position and design, it should be more āiOS-likeā; also, the icon looks off-center
in note list I would expect swipe actions, e.g. swipe note left to pin, swipe note left to duplicate, delete or something else
when I create a new note (e.g. by accident) and go back immediately, this creates and empty note called (Untitled)
creating a new note should focus on note body, so that I can start typing my note immediately
undo, redo, formatting, etc. buttons above the keyboard are great but should be bigger - they are hard to press at current size
in note view, swipe from left = go back is great; swipe from right should open the Information menu, so that I can add tags and perform more actions
in note view, the ā¦ button should be integrated with Information, copy note link is already in both places, itās confusing now
there should be an option to use the iOS autocorrect, ideally easily turned on/off in note view
in left sidebar, it would be great to be able to collapse sections - for example I never use Status and have it collapsed on desktop, but I always see it on mobile
Thanks for reading, I very much look forward to the new mobile app and will be happy to beta test, if youāre looking for testers!
I would love to do that, but it is hard in the current implementation at the moment.
Iām considering to refactor the whole UI set in the future.
in note list: pull down to search is great but should also focus to search immediately so that I can start searching
Currently, you have to pull down the note list to start searching.
I guess not hiding the search bar by default would solve this issue.
in note list: the create new button is in strange position and design, it should be more āiOS-likeā; also, the icon looks off-center
Iād like to avoid adopting the design too much for a specific platform as itās also for Android.
As for the icon, you are right! Iāll fix it.
in note list I would expect swipe actions, e.g. swipe note left to pin, swipe note left to duplicate, delete or something else
Right - itās just not implemented yet because I donāt personally need it.
when I create a new note (e.g. by accident) and go back immediately, this creates and empty note called (Untitled)
This is intended - because the app immediately creates a new note when pushed a button.
creating a new note should focus on note body, so that I can start typing my note immediately
That would depend on your personal preference. I need more input to decide if I should change this behavior.
undo, redo, formatting, etc. buttons above the keyboard are great but should be bigger - they are hard to press at current size
Maybe thatās because my fingers are smaller than yours - let me check other apps to find the optimal size.
in note view, swipe from left = go back is great; swipe from right should open the Information menu, so that I can add tags and perform more actions
Itād be nice but it requires reconstructing the current navigation. Iāll consider it if I found it would significantly improve the workflow. Improving the editor is the primary focus right now.
in note view, the ā¦ button should be integrated with Information, copy note link is already in both places, itās confusing now
I think those action menus like copy note link, pin to top, and duplicate note should be in the āmore menuā.
there should be an option to use the iOS autocorrect, ideally easily turned on/off in note view
Itās expected to be supported in the new native implementation of the editor.
in left sidebar, it would be great to be able to collapse sections - for example I never use Status and have it collapsed on desktop, but I always see it on mobile
for that. Hereās some feedback which I would love to see incorporated in the new version:
