That's super unfortunate, but makes sense. I've tried making android apps before and it is weirdly over-complicated.

Another question: I like to keep my projects very clean, is there any reason under elements that we can't delete default objects or elements? (E.G: I really dislike seeing "character (dnd), spell, etc" in my biology project's dropdown, and worse: I can't make a custom species object because that name's taken by a default object.)

I'm also not sure how nebulous works exactly, but I find myself wanting to delete the category element as well. The object type is a category to me (if I make an object called species, the category is in my mind is species), it seems redundant in my projects and I'd also like to remove it but nebulous won't let me.

Hey again!

It is actually due to a historical reason actually! I used to take the Category as the TreeViewItem title automatically in the older versions. You are right, it should no longer be mandatory... However, I also use it in places like Nebulograph to differentiate between objects with the same name, so I feel it is better to keep it.

You can create your own Element templates in Options btw. Select Default for example and Click the +, and there you may create your own Character template (although it's gotta be a different name, yeah).

I was able to figure that much out thanks! My main issue is just deeply wanting to delete all the default templates in the options setting. It's slightly irritating to have 7 templates in my drop down list that I'll never use before I get to my first custom one that I want when I could've been allowed to remove them.

Also, tangential question: Have you ever considered adding annotated map viewing to Nebulous? Like the type where you can navigate an imported image and place pins linking to other objects. I'm thinking of the ones found in competing worldbuilding programs like LegendKeeper, chronographer, world anvil, and world maker.

I specifically love the unique way nebulous visually organizes information and automatically links content, and I feel like having a similar behavior to spatially organize articles would be really strong here.

Yup, maps was in my plans (I even have a semi working proof of principle demo) but I got into building my own uni nowadays. If I get another spur of inspiration, we should see the map tool :)

That's exciting to hear! I'm definitely following the development of this one since you're the only local non-saas software on the internet right now that covers this niche.
