Thank you. Can you please give me such a url as an example?
Every gmail message has its own url. I think the protocol is domain/user/account number/gmail label/unique identifier. If the message is given a different label, i.e. moved to a different folder in gmail, then the # would change but, #inbox would apply as long as it was in the Inbox. If the message is moved/relabelled the url would still point to the message though because of the unique identifier. Consequently, there’s no incentive to change the url if captured while it’s in the Inbox.
A sample url would be “https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/#inbox/FMfcgxwBVMcnPzLRNsprRfGSjrMtJjNt”

Just a thought…
Could searching for " #inbox " rather than “#inbox” be a solution?

A URL can also end in #inbox, thus I opted for searching for " #inbox" or “^#inbox” where ^ is the start of the string.
Update coming soon.

New feature is out: Quick inspection of elements in a #inbox
There have been quite a few changes – if you wanna try it out join the beta program
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.louiskirsch.quickdynalist
@pottster The #inbox bug is also fixed with the beta version.
My plans on the new quick item list are as follow:
- Swipe item to delete
- Checkmark for checking off things
- Click item to go into a new activity (view) which shows the children of that item and allows to insert items there
- Drag and drop items to change order and drag items into others to make them a child of that item
- Alternative I’ve been thinking about: Have one flat list, but use indentations to display depth
Let me know what you think and give me your ideas 
Also: Implementing this is still a bit cumbersome with the current API. I would like to have these API features:
Fixing this would also be useful

Thanks for taking the time to fix this 
It’s looking good and the #inbox locations is working well in the new beta.
What would it take to use markdown when sharing a link to the app? I’m thinking of Title. As it is, when I share a link now, I still need to open it again on the desktop and re-link it with the title so I know what it is.
I’m not sure what you are referring to Kevin. When I share a link from chrome it correctly includes the title of the link in the markdown. Maybe in your specific case it doesn’t work with other apps? Can you give me more details?
You’re right Louis, my mistake. I’d been sending links from Facebook and Instagram as copy and paste. Duh!
I have fine-tuned the new feature to see the contents of your different #inboxes.
The new version is now released to the play store!
There is now also a feature to open a #inbox in Dynalist. Unfortunately, the Android Dynalist App does not support URL linking yet, and thus it opens in the browser.
Bump this up to fix it: Handle Dynalist link in android app
Also, I want to add the ability to click on an item to add new items as children.
We need this API change: API for inserting items into document should return new item ids
There is also an improved version of the share to Quick Dynalist option (selected text & URLs etc)

Coming along nicely Louis.
The inevitable question. Any plans for an IOS version?

Sorry, I don’t think so. I only use an iPad but don’t really need it on there, so not a good investment of time.

This app has worked wonders for my ability to quickly capture thoughts and ideas as well as storing information from other Android apps. Great work!
One enhancement I’d love to see, but one that I can understand if its not implemented: I used to run MyLifeOrganized (MLO) as a task manager. The quick add widget for MLO on Android defaulted to disappearing after you had entered something and tapped the send button, but you can long tap the send button to keep the widget visible and add another item. Most of the time I only added one thing at a time and this set up made the process really smooth.
Translated to Quick Dynalist the two workflows would be:
- Open Quick Dynalist
- Enter text
- Tap ADD ITEM
- Quick Dynalist adds to Dynalist and then disappears
and
- Open Quick Dynalist
- Enter text
- Long tap ADD ITEM
- Quick Dynalist adds to Dynalist and then clears + focuses the text field
GOTO 2
UI wise MLO handles it like this:

Hi Berdan,
Thanks for your kind words and suggestions. I’m not a big fan of the long tap because that diminishes the use-case of rapid entering of multiple items.
Usually, if I only want to add one item, I tap ‘Add item’ and then outside of the dialog which makes it close. This is also quite rapid.
Nevertheless, multiple people have voiced their need for a fast add & close option now. I guess we can have the best from both worlds with two buttons. I’ll make sure to add one in the next release.

I love this! My one rec is to add a widget that would allow you to type directly on the home screen and have it be added right to the inbox
Thanks! Input fields are not permitted in widgets on Android. I’m also not sure how this would be faster compared to the dialog. Can you describe more precisely what you think is missing?
Hi, the dialog is fast. I was just hoping (but it sounds like a pipe dream) that i could just see a blank box on the home screen and start writing directly from there. I think it would help with brainstorming and such. Oh well, one can always dream…
You would still have to touch the blank box to get the keyboard up. But instead you can touch the quick dynalist icon and you can immediately start typing. I don’t see a difference.
Better still, tap the Quick Dynalist icon and tap the mic icon. Google’s voice typing is SO good now.
