Hi reader!
Just a little talk about the state of the tool, and what's next.
Current state
Right now I have shipped some small changes to the app. Here is a list of them
- Now new lines are correctly interpreted and there is no need to write "<br>" to create a new line. Summary, for the user writing the body of the notes is more natural!
- I have implemented a system to clean up the data object. So now, whenever you update the content of the notebook, it checks for notes that are not being used or empty notes, and deletes them. We do not want to keep all that files using space.
- I have made small visual improvements, in the general display and in the input section.
- There is a walk-in tutorial for newcomers. It needs polishing but I hope that it helps undertand better the tool.
What's next
Well, right now the tool cover the main necessity it was created for. However, I have a small list of things that I would like to implement at some point.
- Dark mode: A dark mode for vampire users.
- Action menu: I think that the buttons for the download/upload/reset of the notebook should be somewhere else. Maybe a toggle menu or something like that. I keep thinking about it.
- URLs: Add urls to the note, so you have clickable elements. It might be cool I think.
- Searchbar: Add a search bar so you can look for pages based on title/content. You could easily travel between unconnected parts of the notebook this way.
- Data tree: A tree representation of the data, showing which pages are conected to which. Also a navigation tool.
- Modify the text live, not in a different box: This is the gem of the crown. Live modification of the page. This would be cool, but bug prone.
I think this is all that I have right now. I am always open to comments and collaborations, so if you are interested, reach out!
