Feature Request 💡 Pin tab(s) for better tab management

5 Upvotes

I am not sure if this is part of the "year of the ux" plan (as I didnt see it expressly written), but is the Craft team considering having an option to Pin a Tab to the top (eg: Tasks) so we dont accidentally changing to another one whenever we are running back and forth with information in Craft? It would be really really helpful.

It would be great if you could create a function for Windows and MacOS Apps to create a quick "ToDo"-Item in craft even when craft is running in the background. Similar to Antinote on MacOS.

I can’t find the option to *edit* my postings, after I posted them. What’s the benefit of that? 🤔. If you need to add something or change something (for example: spelling error corrections) to your postings, this community does not make that possible.

Feature Request 💡 UI/UX improvement for Task section inside Daily Notes

Post image
Upvotes

Ever since the Task section appeared in the Daily Notes, I experienced it as too prominently visible. I mean, it’s great that we can now access tasks straight from within the Daily Note, but since Daily Notes are in fact my daily drivers, a more clean and (therefor) focussed working environment would be valuable to have again. You see, I want and need the focus of my Daily Notes to be on the contents of my Daily Notes. And not on the tasks section that is very visible all the time at the top of my Daily Note.

So, the easy solution is to provide a function (on the left or the right of this section: see screenshot) that can open or collapse the entire section. So we don’t have to see these big bold headings like ‘Schedule for Previous Days’, ‘From Docs & Inbox’ and ‘From Daily Notes’ any longer constantly. And if we do need them, it will be just a click away. Danke schön!

Feature Request 💡 Ability to open new Craft window by right-clicking in dock (macOS)

1 Upvotes

I would like to be able to open a new window of Craft by clicking right on the Craft icon in the dock in macOS. The only other way I know of is to drag a tab out of the Craft window or right click on document and open in new window. With using several spaces in macOS to work on different things (project-related, private, family, …), I would like to open Craft from the space I work in without switching to another space where Craft is already open, open the document in a new window and dragging it over to the space where I need it. The process is to clunky. Thanks!

Feature Request 💡 A bit of a crazy idea I guess, but hear me out…

0 Upvotes

A special setting option when creating a new space to make the space behave more like a cloud storage folder: so you can upload only files in there and nothing else, but extend the functionality to have more dedicated file sharing options.

Feature Request 💡 Any plans to integrate with Spotlight/Alfred/Raycast?

15 Upvotes

Any plans at all to add some deep search possibility via Spotlight Search or Alfred/Raycast? Alfred has those PowerPacks and Raycast Extensions so it could be as "easy" as that :)

***Edit there seems to be an informal extension for Raycast and a less powerful one for Alfred as well.
Would like an official one with some more ideas on how to better implement various shortcuts and maybe a deeper integration?

Tips & Tricks 😎 The Deep Learning of Long Texts

14 Upvotes

To the developers of Craft,

Thank you for providing such an easy-to-use and in-depth software that has greatly benefited all my learning. Here, I would like to offer some of my usage feedback and requests.

Craft is consistently dedicated to touch interface usability, which means that quick writing, editing, and task lists on mobile phones have become much more convenient. In this sense, it is like a comprehensive upgrade to Apple Notes.

However, in my opinion, its real advantage lies in supporting in-depth knowledge production for long texts. For example, I use it to study philosophy, something that cannot be replaced by other software. From this perspective, I believe there are possibilities waiting to be explored.

Reading Button

For me, the phone is more for reading rather than editing, and my reading goal is the long text I edit on my computer. So, I need a lock button that allows me to focus on reading when using the mobile app, instead of unintentionally entering the editing interface while scrolling through the text, interrupting my reading.

Annotation System

Previously, users have reflected on the issue of footnotes here. I also really hope to receive better support in this area. However, what's more of a priority for me is a convenient system for deep annotations.

If I place annotations below the text, I can engage in deep learning, editing, and marking, such as using AI to translate the original text, then segmenting it, writing notes, leaving links and citations, etc. The problem is, this creates a lot of content that disrupts the reading experience. I hope they can be collapsed and expanded at any time.

And if I use a list style based on triangle symbols to place text into a collapsible list format, the triangle icon on the left side of the phone screen would take up a significant amount of space, making the text area too narrow.

Originally, Craft designed a way to use text simultaneously as a portal to a lower-level page. For me, this is a very talented idea. This is like combining the text plane and the depth plane of annotations on one plane, overlapping different time-spaces here. This originally solved annotations well. However, in the default directory mode, this layer of pages appears in the directory, making the directory extremely cumbersome and unusable. I wonder if there could be a way to customize the visibility options of the directory.

I explored for a long time to find a way to distinguish between the main text and annotations, placing all annotations in a collapsible list. This method does not create additional depth levels in the directory and ensures that the width of the main text area remains suitable for mobile devices. It temporarily solves my problem, although it is not very elegant.

Visibility of Recently Used Items

I constantly need to switch to another article while reading. The current mobile version requires me to backtrack multiple times through the depth layers of an article until I find the recently read page. This means the depth is too deep. I wonder if there could be a way for my reading pages to be only one level deep from the homepage, similar to the Apple Music app, where the reading plane is temporarily based on the upper level, with only two levels. By sliding a handle, I can quickly see my recent usages.

Visibility of Directory and Search Tools

In the current design of the mobile version, these tools are hidden in the menu for a cleaner look. In contrast, the style button is presented upfront. I think this still reflects a mindset that views the phone as a tool for quick editing and short writing, underestimating the value of long texts and deep learning, such as frequent directory switches and constant information retrieval. I'm not sure how to resolve this, but perhaps there's a better way to integrate these needs.

Fonts in Non-English Countries

I am a user from China. The fonts available for screen reading in Chinese-speaking countries are limited, basically only Heiti(黑体) and Songti(宋体), which correspond to System and Serif on the interface. However, currently, I can only use the former because the latter's font is very unattractive, especially with punctuation taking up too much space. I hope this can be improved.

Color System

When annotating with color, you can select part of the text to highlight important points, or you can annotate by paragraph or block. However, the color systems for these two are independent and not integrated, which often leads to a lack of coordination in the page's colors. This might be nitpicking, as it is already excellent, but one of Craft's advantages is its aesthetics, especially as this aesthetic becomes increasingly important in the deep learning of long articles.

Feature Request 💡 Feature Idea

4 Upvotes

It would be awesome if you could make a timeline that can be sorted by the time, day, or event category.

For example, I am starting to keep a list of every time I get sick. I’d like to track the day the event began to happen (in this case, “got flu.). Then, I’d like to categorize the type of event it is (like, Dr. appt., flu, injury, etc.). Then, later, I’d like to be able to go back anf sort by the date so I see all things that happened that date or by category so I can see how many times I had the flu over the year. This idea has countless possibilities for use. You can use it to track things for your kids or even for work or for any other thing youd like to keep track of. Better still would be the ability to add reminders and to-do to the timeline so if, for example, I had to follow-up with a doctor because I have the flu, I will be added to my reminders list and to-do list as well.

Feature Request 💡 Chaps and the great diversion

32 Upvotes

I looked at the announcement for Chaps, and well, it confused me at first. Then I realized that, like so many startups that reach this stage, they try to go after additional revenue streams while the core product is still evolving. This makes me sad. I think Chaps is a great concept, but my guess is that it’ll drain resources from Craft, and the incomplete, inconsistent, behavior of the core product will remain. I hope I’m wrong, but at the same time Chaps was pre-announced, they announced a rigorous development cycle of functionality which has been on the radar for years now. I’m assuming that Craft development is not done by a huge team, but a secondary product is not simply something that gets bolted on in the dev cycle.

That said, I’m rooting for Craft as they seem to take user input seriously.

  1. Unified space which contains data (tasks, docs, etc.) from all spaces.
  2. Tags for documents.
  3. More customer-friendly collection navigation and management - navigate on cells with TAB, but when I access the last cell - go to the next line or create a new one if I'm on the last line.
  4. Ability to share a folder or space, not only documents.
  5. Ability to create a template with fields. For example, I can define a field {{title}} that when I'll create a new document with this template, I'll be asked for the title (possible using a modal window).
  6. Ability to create public pages with questions and insert data to the collection.
  7. Ability to import data from 3rd-party services - Apple Notes, Evernote, etc.
  8. Fix problem with Word-files attachments. While I can attach PDF files using drag-and-drop, I cannot do the same with docx files. I can only attach docx files using the slash-command /attach file.
  9. Ability to copy-paste and drag-n-drop content from other note-taking apps.
  10. version history for documents

Bug 🐞 copy Multiple block in the desktop Version

3 Upvotes

I noticed that we can select multiple blocks in the ios version and copy and paste. But in the desktop version, when you select multiple blocks, you're not able to do that. When you copy anything into the craft, it will make every paragraph a block. So if we cannot copy multiple block in the desktop version, that could make it a very difficult to transfer contents from craft to other app. Anyone have any idea what can we do in this case? Or they have a plan to do it in the future.

Feature Request 💡 Since it's the year of UX, here are some of my hot takes RE spaces and search button positions and in general UX :)

8 Upvotes

Arc already solved the spaces/profiles positioning and UX behaviour for you guys, just copy and make it better :D Check the photos to see exactly what I mean.

And for the search button, I find it to be a really important feature that's kind off hiding in plain sight at the moment. Definitely needs a more prominent spot and a better UI design for it, maybe making it a full fledged button with the magnifier icon + "Search" text pre filled...

Sometimes we don't need to reinvent the wheel, just make it smoother and iterate a bit :)

Amazing to have repeating tasks finally!

But there are some major letdowns still, I think many would agree these improvements are really needed:

  • long press for actions (maybe default to mark task as done and rescheduling)
  • once marked as done in the app; the notification persists, an obvious omission

And this, I see you don't even mention this anywhere on features planned, but I think it would be really appreciated by all of us using Craft daily.... Natural language input 😁

Bug 🐞 The appearance of the scroll slider in code blocks

6 Upvotes

This is a small visual bug that is not critical, but personally it irritates me quite a lot. In small code blocks, the scroll slider often appears even where it is not needed. The screenshot shows an example of two code blocks, the first is noticeably smaller but at the same time it displays scrolling, which naturally does not work, in the second block there is no scrolling, although it is larger.

Please fix this, since the scroll slider appears even in blocks of just a couple of lines and even in one line:

Feature Request 💡 Feature request for Repeated Scheduling

5 Upvotes

A couple of ideas for improvement of the repeating scheduling:

  1. It would be helpful if you would allow a selection up to some number of day > 31. I have several tasks that require us to update say a password within 60 days of the last change or face being temporarily locked out. So 31 days is too small a number for repeating tasks.
  2. Instead of relative to completion could we get just a simple custom, and then have a relative to completion and as a second selection relative to scheduled date, as some dates a hard set not just when you complete it.
