Thanks for the clarification. I see that this is a huge undertaking and I think itâs wise to implement this slowly step by step and donât rush things.
One thing I want to ask if âa long timeâ means months or a year? Can we look forward to this feature in 2020 or will it take longer?
Ty!
I really hope so, but I canât really commit to any specific times because of constant changing priorities. Weâll try to include any relevant progress updates in our monthly blog post so you guys can have an idea how itâs going.
Alright, thank you for the info!
Have you guys done any hardcore scientific surveyingâspecifically of pro users about this specific issue? More specifically, have you asked pro usersâwhoâve been pro users for lets say⌠more than 3 monthsâwhether they want:
Iâm asking just because Iâm a internet marketer, and Iâm curious. (Very.)
My theory is, the majority of pro users whoâve been pro users, want wysiwyg. Iâve always wanted to know whether I was right or wrong on this point. Lol, and itâs not even my app!
Why is that my theory? Itâs my theory because I think that the majority of dynalist pro users are ânormal textâ people. People whoâwhen trying to make text boldâlike seeing the text theyâre trying to make bold⌠actually become bold. And donât necessarily like seeing asterisks appear instead, nor understand why those asterisks appear instead of bold textâwhen they do appear.
Note: Like I said, this is what I THINK! I could be wrong. Just curious is all. (Very.)
Note 2: No offense meant by ânormal textâ people to anyone who likes markdown.
Hmm honestly we never did! Iâm convinced a lot of people would appreciate it, and a lot of people can benefit from it. In either case though, having the option to turn on or off wysiwyg is still the best option.
Just a quick update on the matter: I think we will be able to get a demo done by end of april. There might still be things not working but I feel like it should be mostly working by then.
In this case this is technologically an advanced feature but is to users a very elementary feature likely one thatâs a stay/leave decider for a lot of potential users who visit DynaList and quickly move on. Having WYSIWYG will I assume quickly result in more people picking up the tool.
Me too! I canât wait for it. Ever since you announced it, Iâve been all giddy.
I agree. It is a very smart decision of the team to implement WYSIWYG. This is nowadays considered as a standard in web applications.
It will make Dynalist more attractive non-tech people because believe it or not markdown syntax is hurdle for people without much technical expertise and at the moment I have the feeling that Dynalist Users are quite âtekkiâ.
Maybe Dynalist will crack 2k pro users with the new feature.
@Shida @Erica When will this âbig projectâ be released? I am so sick of the jumping of the format.
but during navigation
now if i want prevent the format jumping, I have to toggle the lock and access the last bullet, like below:
If the WYSIWYG cant be done soon, is it possbile to provide a feature that no format jumping in the lock mode? Thank you very much.
I would say WYSIWYG still has some way to go but in the meantime, you could switch your font to Consolas for monospaced editor font.
Still on track for the end of April?
Weâll provide an official update in a few days, but right now it doesnât seem like weâll make it that quickly.
Hi, can you show us a preview of what the new WYSIWYG editor would look like?
Can you add rich content in the notes with the new editor similar to evernote?
I think that is not part of the WYSIWYG. The main thing is to get rid of the markdown syntax and format the text event when you are editing a node.
Howâs this going? Anything you can share yet?
Steve.
Currently still backlogged since weâre focusing on Obsidian, but weâll be taking the learning we get while working on it as a beta software and re-incorporating it back to Dynalist!
Obsidian has a keyboard shortcut for Star/Unstar. Just sayingâŚ
Could you explain a bit more what you mean by ârich content in the notesâ?
You got it 
thanks!
