Raw Thoughts from 2/23/21 posted to slack
#rawthoughts from tonight - POSTED ON http://productfeedback.jacobcole.net/ – Feel free to comment there?
- #tweak typing speed even slow on brand new macbook (possibly a #bigdeal?)
- can’t see date on filtered view – obscured by jump to. probably also should have date dividers on filtered view if they’re on
- caps sensitivity on tags is still throwing me off (any objections to just moving fast and breaking things and making an executive decision on a fix here, like “capitalize the same tag closest to bottom of thoughtstream”?)
- selecting halfway into a note to end of note shouldn’t automatically merge me with the next note (#tweak the following action should leave one extra linebreak, I think: https://share.getcloudapp.com/RBu4YR9K ))
- Date dividers got automatically turned off with the update. I think this might confuse a few of the people I on boarded FYI. It would be great if we can persist this in the future (does anyone object to having them be on by default?)
- Also this may have already been reported but it doesn’t seem that the auto sync via checkpointing (without refresh) works fully on mobile. When I edit some thing on desktop and have mobile open it doesn’t show up
- Command shift down arrow select all notes which is a bit scary (as does cmd shift up)
- Dictation mysteriously not working sometimes on mobile web
- Back button works to go back from search results but forward button doesn’t work to go forward. Also, If you go two tags deep, and then hit the back button twice, it doesn’t take you home – you have to hit it an extra time to get back home #bug. Also, what would it take to maintain scroll position? easy? hard?
More #polish I hope #quick
- change the title to “Ideaflow” from “IdeaFlow”
- maybe make the loading page allow user to start typing in the search bar and also have a blank editor that allows user to capture new thoughts, without having to wait? (Maybe the blank editor should have placeholder text saying “Quick capture thoughts – notes are loading”?
- #shortcut to: clear search? Also another move to bottom / top of current cell (opt-down?)
- #nitpick create new note shortcut (for now cmd+shift+k) should work even from Settings page. Can’t break that muscle memory /anywhere/! Also, can we have a link to “pop out” the shortcuts cheat sheet somehow? Maybe into a new window? (edited)

Tags:, tweak
When you click on an <> relation it should flash the matched item and scroll it Roughly the top of the page, instead of leaving it in the middle. Actually, on my fairly large 4K monitor the same seems to be not working so well on any "jump to" operation. Also need to have a multi step back button behavior after such jump operations
Question -- If the app goes off-line does it warn me it’s not going to save my stuff somehow?
cmd+up arrow (maybe twice? Maybe first jumps you to top of note?) should jump you to the top even if you have really large note database. So should create new note shortcut. The only way for me to do so right now is to click All Notes
If you create a new blank page it should probably show something in the search bar and make it clear how you can go back? Maybe pages should be called sections. Or meetings / conversations?
Where would we slide in a "hide completed todos" checkbox on Todos page?
Sort <> relations by most recent and exact string match or i can’t find them (or maybe make 2 sections of results, exact followed by inexact?)
Experiment with trailing line breaks on notes instead of just divider? More like text file ``

on mobile web, we have duplicate hashtags (even with the same case)
we should normalize for case insensitive hashtags
Type a note with a hashtag filter on, sometimes the new note does not appear at the top (tough to replicate)
“When ‘eidetic memory deactivated’ error comes up say: ‘Don’t worry it’s already been reported.”
#tweak cmd click on tags to open link (or hover over and click "open link" like current urls) . I think just clicking is fine. https://workflowy.com and https://bear.app/ do that. (Maybe we could even make urls directly clickable? Not necessarily sure…)

if you close @ you can't double click on text autocomplete https://share.getcloudapp.com/geuop26R
Tags:, small?, UX, Polish, On, mobile, Web:
-Tapping in the margins doesn’t move cursor, like a text file does
-Seemingly impossible to tap the cursor so it begins at start of doc
-Select all selects everything whereas most of the time I wanted to just select a note. Moreover I can’t deselect
-share / download button needs to allow me to share, or at least copy vs giving me a text file. [a]

P1.5 - on mobile web, need the hashtag, mention, etc. bar at the bottom on top of the keyboard

#Bug
[ ] After pasting a link or multiline text, this happens, and then cmd+i breaks
https://share.getcloudapp.com/NQuKRkgD
[ ] #crash https://share.getcloudapp.com/YEuQGgjL After doing a filter, hitting command enter, adding a note, going back to main
[ ] https://share.getcloudapp.com/rRu0qPJq Bug on paste from web, text doesn't appear. cmd shift v works
#Tweak
Should be able to start search query instantly (even before page loads?)
Feature Funnel 1
Legend: add #small#medium or #big if it’s a quickfix or not. “small?” means “I hypothesize this might be small. Please feel free to change.” Question mark after a feature request means “I’m not sure I even want this feature how it’s articulated, but need to think about it/welcome input”. Urgency top to bottom.

Funnel 2 (Important-Nonimportant / Big-Small)
#Feature
Multiple documents / subdomains. Maybe even .ideaflow TLD in future?
So we could create a
User Interviews
Jacob Cole:
Oh btw any more reflections from yesterday about why you seem to like the iOS app vs the web app?
I know you mentioned these, but I’m not sure these are the biggest things:
danish likes:
date stamp on iOS
tear away
dashed line
no unnecessary colors
likes "go back" instead of overlay
Wishlist: “Collapse” note option for long text
Some other things I found, and let me know if these are relevant to you
On mobile Web:
-Tapping in the margins doesn’t move cursor, like a text file does
-Seemingly impossible to tap the cursor so it begins at start of doc
-Select all selects everything whereas most of the time I wanted to just select a note
What else?
Danish Shabbir:
File Transfer: IMG_4579.png
This red bar is very nice
The teal plus button is unpleasant
File Transfer: IMG_4580.png
File Transfer: IMG_4581.png
Search and Add at bottom right are Great
The back button to see tags is better than sidebar folding in on my notes
Its just a nice motion
Going elsewhere
A level up in abstraction
Whereas a sidebar coming to conceal my notes :((
The experience and button placement on web vs mobile doesnt have to be identical
Jacob Cole:
Operating on desktop, are you finding the thing usable? Or not so much?
Danish Shabbir:
On my desktop I don’t feel much desire to use it.
Idk why- I will try to consciously do it for a week
Jacob Cole:
Wow amazing
And please make it your medium to get creative with
Would you like tips on how to use it the way I use it?
Danish Shabbir:
I already had a nice moment
I used. <> to find other things to be creative about
And I remembered my interest in learning about tea supply chain
Yes please tips
Why don’t you write up a page of tricks and tips?
Jacob Cole:
Yeah, I need to write an on boarding guide this week
Including tips and tricks
Danish Shabbir:
And just send me the tips
now 😛
And paste them into your on boarding doc
Jacob Cole:
Well, you put down a word crepitus
Maybe add #Word
I am imagine this may be obvious and you just didn’t do it
Instead of saying <> book
#book
Danish Shabbir:
<> is for connecting notes yes?
Jacob Cole:
Ya
Danish Shabbir:
# and for tagging
Jacob Cole:
Ya
Danish Shabbir:
And @ for creating entities
And ~ for attributing to entities?
Jacob Cole:
I am weird but I instead use @ to share things with people
Like next time I talk to my mom why are all the things I am going to say to her?
*what
And then I can quickly zoom in to the context with @
I don’t think it’s necessary to obsessively tag people. Just write their names
Danish Shabbir:
why should I use tags?
to make lists of things
Things I’d remember tagged under their class
Want to remember
Jacob Cole:
#book #quote #restaurant
Danish Shabbir:
Jacob Cole:
In terms of just writing my own reflections, I’m really looking forward to a future “untagged”
Feature
And/or a “ blank hashtag” which means: thing is salient, but I don’t know what category it should go in right now. What I typically do for that is #Thoughtstream Or #Reflection right now
Danish Shabbir:
Cool !
Jacob Cole:
Have you started any lists, like a list of quotes or ideas?
Do you have any such lists externally? For instance A different application? We can paste them in
Danish Shabbir:
When I switch to idea flow desktop
And add a new note
I’d like a fog over everything except the new note
It breaks the flow to look at the previous thoughtstreeam
Part of the pleasure of the phone app is the red thing brings attention to the place where note is being added
And the options you have for adding that note
It is more ligned with the flow
My answer is 300% zoom
This is my whole screen
Ideaflow Bug Tracker
[a]Ben: "So what's the desired behavior here? The user should not be given a file when they click the share button? We want to change the functionality to have all notes shown in the current view copied to the clipboard instead?"
Jacob: For me that's a fine call for now I think. It will make it usable on mobile, I believe. Maybe stick this under a feature flag for further consideration if it's at all an issue
