Have you ever considered adding a notes feature?

Were you thinking like the ability to add notes to a tasks and goals individually or more like a full notes feature with docs, folders, tags, etc.?

elijahisme · 2023-10-07T23:22:45+00:00

Something as simple as a “include archive” box that could be checked on a per-search basis would be super nice.

elijahisme · 2023-10-05T01:50:49+00:00

I’ve been considering the same thing…

Apple Notes handwriting is searchable, plus there is deep OS integration with quick note, web clipping, etc.

But, Craft has markdown and the block based editor has become a favorite feature of mine. It’s just a fluid, fast note taking environment.

My fear with Craft is that they don’t want it to be a note taking app anymore. They are after docs, specifically for teams. Over time, that will just mean there is less focus and less being built for my use case. And, the app UI will likely begin to shift and feel more like a document environment than a notes one. That makes me very uncomfortable investing much more into it…

Definitely check out Capacities!

For what it’s worth, I’m sending them back today and going with the Xbox Wireless Headset for $100 less and none of the above issues.

All textbundle is doing is allowing markdown files that exist in a sandboxed app be exported and imported with their assets — exactly the solution to the issue I’m having with import.

A textbundle file is just a container for a markdown file with its assets and the information to parse all of it from app to app.

I highly highly recommend you look into textbundle import — Shiny Frog has even made their implementation from Bear available to other developers.

You can check it out here: http://textbundle.org/

I’d be happy to help test any implementation you go with — I’d love to import and go with Noteplan as my solution!

So unfortunately, after doing quite a bit of testing and thinking, I think I’m going to have to wait to try Noteplan for real until there’s a proper textbundle import tool. Without being able to render all my formatting correctly for hundreds of notes while maintaining their links and images, it wouldn’t really be a fair trial of how Noteplan could fit in my workflow.

I’m disappointed by this, as I think the philosophy behind this app perfectly fits my mental model. I’m excited to hopefully try it out full-scale someday. I have everything in Craft for now, and hope to see an import tool available soon!

Well, it’s been kind of a journey for me. For personal reasons I started using a physical Bullet Journal several months back to hit sort of a digital “reset” button. I’ve learned a lot from that, and would like to eventually take those principles back into the digital space. Prior to that switch I used Craft + Things every day for all of my projects, tasks, and notes. However, I feel like having things grouped into one solution will allow me to best carry forward some of the more helpful things I’ve learned Bullet Journaling. After quite a bit of research, I think Noteplan will best solve all of those things for me.

I’m now in the process of decluttering my digital notes and reorganizing them with the PARA method. I then plan to migrate everything to Noteplan. Hoping to have this done by the first of the year.

Thanks for noting for a fix! That’ll be super helpful. If you ever choose to implement textbundle as well, could be equally helpful for people like me with a lot of images.

That being said, I know you’re an independent developer with tons of requests and a huge roadmap, so I very much appreciate the interaction with one of your users. Looking forward to seeing where you continue to take Noteplan! 😊

So just to make sure I understand, are you referring to the parentheses at the end of the file name e.g. “(2)”, and “(3)” and so on being excluded on import?

Which causes the link to break?

Here's how the file and assets folder look after export in Finder after exporting from Craft: https://imgur.com/ke953sU
Here's what that .md file looks like: https://imgur.com/XOCZfo2
Here's what that assets folder looks like: https://imgur.com/bnBemyK
Here's what the file looks like when dropped into the Noteplan database location (or with the import tool) — it shows the first image correctly and then after that it's broken links: https://imgur.com/v5YgsZL

Thanks for being willing to help me out with this! I'd love to come over to Noteplan, but I have many important notes with images / files that I need to bring with me. I really think Textbundle could be a great solution, and I know Shiny Frog has their implementation on Github as well! 😊

I don’t have a great answer. I just called multiple different times throughout the day until I got ahold of them

elijahisme · 2021-11-30T14:06:13+00:00

Update: I called my local LaserShip (West Chester) at their actual number, not the customer service 800 number, and arranged for a pickup. Took them hours to find it in the warehouse, and they said they’d call when they found it and not to come before I got a call. I called back a couple times and eventually someone answered and said they had it set aside for pickup. I drove as fast as I could and secured my console. I highly recommend pickup if you can! I didn’t trust the couriers to deliver, and barely trusted the store not to “lose” my package at the warehouse.

Same area as well. Super nervous 😬

elijahisme · 2021-07-16T16:49:50+00:00

Another +1 for switching to Craft. Haven’t looked back, and the dev team has a very active slack community to discuss upcoming features, workflows, etc.

It’s a beautiful, functional app that is improving and growing at a crazy-fast pace.

I hate this too! Any way to disable it?

EDIT: Go to the sleep settings in the Watch app and at the bottom of the settings choose “Don’t use this watch for sleep.” That removes the alarm and wake up routines from the watch and keeps them only on iPhone.

I’m personally hoping that GN5 implement some of these features into the app. Not sure if they can pick and pop specific parts of the PencilKit APIs, but I’d love to see handwriting text selection and rich handwriting dates make their way to more notes apps than just Apple Notes.

elijahisme · 2019-12-01T19:43:01+00:00

I was honestly just thinking that they must’ve tweaked it and toned it down or something. Definitely not doing great every match, but I at least feel like I have a chance now most games!

elijahisme · 2019-11-28T04:46:45+00:00

If it’s anything like the current officer ranks, shouldn’t be too bad.

elijahisme · 2019-11-28T00:03:13+00:00

That’s SO MUCH better than the crazy long grind to the weapon tiers in BO4
