Hello there! I just thought I'd suggest a few features which might be useful. Sorry if they're in development or already present.

 

1.) An undo button at the top bar to allow for accidental deletions being quickly fixed.

2.) Along with that note, a revision history to accompany.

3.) More options to experiment with (i.e. fonts, alignment of paragraphs, font size, different colors).

4.) Templates for newcomers as to allow for greater ease rather than starting from scratch.

 

Otherwise, great job with the software! It's rather beneficial with my novel outline, academics, and research.

  Hi Quibble,

  You can undo by hitting Ctrl+Z on desktop/ browser and in the mobile apps, you'll see an undo/ redo button in the settings menu, bottom right of your screen.

  We may indeed be looking into revision history soon, along with other collaborative features.

  Thank you for your suggestion!

  ~ Frank

  Hi, a few more suggestions please, if not already suggested elsewhere here:

  1. A "Created X" time along with "Last changed X" at the bottom of the quick menu for all nodes;
  2. Sorting possibility (by time created or last changes, etc.) for selected or all nodes (e.g. for easier control of tasks);
  3. Reminders with desktop pop-ups? and
  4. Possibility to use different fonts for different bullets / boards.

  Thanks so much for the great product!

  #4 would be super useful if some specific bullets/boards can be set to have monospace typography.

  I know there it's a way to turn all your WF into monospace but that looks awful for reading text and for most kind of information. 

  The classic system font is perfect for 90% of the information. And as many users have already said, we value the sleek and minimal WF design as one of its main virtues.

  I personally love the greyscale simple «plain text» approach and disagree with the requests for adding colour, images and different fancy fonts and gimmicks, etc. Keep it simple, keep it strong! ;)

  The only real need for a font change in some nodes (for my team at least) is the case to be able to change for a monospace font in just a few specific bullets. (These specific cases are when writing code snippets, and when writing numbers so to have them all aligned by their decimal, etc).

  In conclusion. I believe you should keep it minimal except when adding a new feature would really be a game-changer, as I find monospace would be.

  Please consider splitting your requests into individual threads. This allows other users to vote in favor and have conversations about how specific things might be implemented.
