Yeah, that’s our fear as well. We’re afraid to start doing anything before having a plan on how to do it without sacrificing the simplicity.

Goodmorning Erica,

Most Important it must be Simple, how i like @piotr extension it makes it more customize but also more less simple … Hope to see new features become an part with an single click or shortcut to activate…

So i can Dynalist as my Main System i have dropped my Things3 by CulturedCode and using Dynalist for everything… maybe it can also replace my DayOne for Journaling …

Looking forward to the Next Steps and to iOS11 … for my iPad Pro will that be an Productivity Boost with Dynalist, that said it would be helpful to have Slide Over feature so i can drag my stuff into Dynalist …

Tables can be created in markdown already - it’s vanilla HTML… unless we’re trying to create more advanced tables, I don’t see how it would slow anything down.

I love Dynalist and use it daily. Here are a few things that would make it even better for me:

  • Flat List Search Results. This would allow me to search for, say, tasks due today, and see them all as a single list instead of a hierarchy. (I perceive this as a view of the found nodes – I’m not proposing that they would actually be moved around in the hierarchy.) It would be nice to be able to edit the text and complete the tasks too.
  • Sortable search results. In addition to the above I’d love to be able to sort the results. For project management, this would allow me to, for example, search for tasks due in the next week, ordered by due date. For story planning, this would allow me to, for example, find all the events in each character’s history and view them as a single unified timeline. This feature would be super userful for me.
  • Alphabetical sorting of tags. I like the current sorting by frequency, it’s very useful. Sometimes I’m looking for a specific tag, and it’s hard to find the one I want when sorted by frequency.
  • Hierarchy or grouping of tags. It would be handy to be able to view my tags by group or hierarchy. For example, seeing all context tags together, or character tags together, or all storyline tags together.
  • Export formatted code and links. Currently if I export or copy-and-paste a formatted outline, some elements are not rendered as HTML. Bold and Italic render to HTML fine, but code blocks and links remain formatted as Markdown. This is frustrating when I am, for example, exporting meeting notes to an email for coworkers.

@JP1, thanks for bringing up this topic.

Dev team, Dynalist is a fantastic app and I love that you listen to your users!

Thanks much,

Craig

That’s the only one I don’t understand…

#17

My guess is to have menus fully appear in place of the tooltip when the cursor is hovered over them.

#18

Excatly ! :slight_smile:
That the menus (Top and on the right) are barely visible and if You hover on them it’s fully visible.

About that -> Center doc alignment is to center :smiley: and w/o this option is too much on the right side. I would like to have something between those two option. Please don’t take me wrong I’m not complaining :grin: If this will not change I’m still ok :slight_smile:

No worries, there’s no misunderstanding! Thank you very much for the suggestions and for the clarification :slight_smile:

To be honest, by far the most important thing to me is the API. I would very much like it if dynalist existing as a foundational tool with a great API, and then future UI features were done by other parties/packages.

1. Dual/Multi-pane Support This would boost my productivity exponentially since I spend a lot of time moving items to different sections of my documents. Obviously then I’m assuming multi-pane support would provide the ability to drag an item/tree from one pane to another. Much faster and more precise than the ‘move to…’ function.

It’s nice to see that this is still the #2 most vote-getting feature request but not so nice to see that it’s been sitting on the roadmap for like 3 years now. Anybody that agrees with me, feel free to toss extra votes at it here: https://trello.com/c/N2ilb1oo/135-split-screen

2. Uncollapse items when new items are dragged onto it So, if I’ve got a collapsed tree with a ton of stuff under it and I want to drag a new item into that tree, I shouldn’t have to uncollapse it explicitly first - I should just be able to drag my item over the bullet and hover for a second and the list should auto-uncollapse. TBD if it would auto-close once done or just stay open.

3. Better tools for visualizing levels of the hierarchy Something I actually really like when forced to use Word’s outline mode - just give me some buttons at the top that let me show only (for example) 2 levels deep within the current document, etc.

4. Make item 1 better :slight_smile:

5. Spend more time on item 3 :slight_smile:

Wow, you didn’t even have 5 requests! Very focused! :clap:

#26
  1. Have the lists scroll up or down when dragging an item to the top or bottom border of the screen. Currently manually reordering items in not very short lists is barely possible and the only deal breaker for me.
#27

Alarms/Notifications based on time and place:

Notifications and alarms for due dates and times is the one key missing feature. But the one feature that would set you apart from the rest is to be able to be notified based om time AND/OR place.
At store? Remember all items in shoppinglist. In meeting at clients office? Remember these items.

Structure in tags:

I want to see all people or companies I have to follow up with without manually clicking on each and every one of the people tags or company tags. Or just see all office tags when I’m at the office.

@Contacts
— @PersonA
— @PersonB
— @PersonC

@Companies
— @CompanyA
— @CompanyB
— @CompanyC

#Officetasks
— #PC
— #Printer
— #Rendering

  1. Mobile multi-select
  2. Lossless sync between devices working concurrently. JP1’s 1. would fit.
  3. Basic tables
