I haven’t posted any ideas recently but here’s some ideas I still want to be implemented down the road when I get around to it
Most issues Ihave right now with dynalist is not navigating to the doc I want fast enough from whatever I’m doing at that moment. That, and navigating through dynalist panes in chrome is challenging as well
For instance, I might be on one document, working on some coursenotes or something along those lines, realize I need to cross reference another document (or several), but have to use piotr’s omnipanel to open that doc in a new tab. I wish cross-doc navigation in dynalist was better overall
API-based solutions (that aren’t too difficult and I’ll probably work on these later)
- Automatically put a document in a folder based on its name prefix (I make one doc almost every week, it gets kind of tedious moving files around).
- Press a hotkey, open up dynalist in new tab, dynalist asks which file I want to open (as opposed to dynalist opening the last tab)
- A better overall version of CTRL+O for navigating files ( I’d like more keyboard navigation around documents, having so many documents now, keyboard nav is faster)
- A control panel for navigating docs (I would really like a method of “tagging” documents themselves with metadata -> Very similar to how wordpress handles blogposts with categories and tags))
- With CTRL+O, Press CTRL+Click to open that item in a new tab (as opposed to in same tab) → I’m going to implement this first, once I finish this other course about modifying the DOM so I can understand it in more detail. - Based on document prefix name, use a different style favicon
Less high priority API based solutions
- Right side panel style navigation similar to app.classeur.io
- Javascript based spreadsheets
- Ability to hide node’s notes on an individual basis
- Airtable-like / database features (highlight over a specific tag to “expand out” text, useful for contact info. E.G. type in @client-name and hover over to see information about them)- Basically a search parameter based on typing within that node
- Anki-like integrations → Not 100% sure how this is integrated, but I dumped many ideas here. As of right now I use dynalist to breakdown and understand information, some other ways to consolidate knowledge, and anki to retain it. Wish there was a streamlined method of keeping track of what things I put in anki from dynalist.
Non API specific things:
- Force dynalist in chromium to open links in chrome (Not entirely sure how this is done) yet still
- Write a python script with some regex to rebuild all my imagelink names if I need it later on (e.g.
amazonS3.com/imageName
instead ofimgur.com/imageName
)
Generalized features I would like
- ++highlighter formatting++ (piotrs powerpack highlighter gets wonky sometimes, and I really just want a 3rd method of formatting text) → I’ll implement this later too
- Stickytabs (at bottom of screen) / splittabs built in dynalist, so I could view multiple docs all on one page natively
General issues I have right now
-
Opening a file in a new tab in dynalist doesn’t always go to the homepage of the file
-
Global Search is rather tediously and slow when typing things out, I really wish I could type something out first, then hit search (not an API-specific thing) as opposed to dynalist running a search on each letter I put in. Its becoming troublesome when my docs get larger and longer
I haven’t done any of the API related things I want too try out and am just waiting and am waiting for API doc + learning some related courses that I need to know before attempting it.
