Good points.
There are several discussions on how to nest Objects and how to apply (a change to) a Relation to the Objects and its children:
- Hierarchy in Sets (Option to have rows in Sets be nested (and foldable) based on page hierarchy)
- Discussion about “Nested Objects” in general (Nesting Objects/Sets inside each other)
- Bulk edit (Bulk Editing of Pages / Documents )
- Multi-select (Add multi-select to sets )
On your point of assessing popularity, as far as I know, priorities are set by:
- The roadmap the team already has defined (reworking Relations, inline Sets, rework tagging system, etc.)
- Survey data and in-depth interviews with users
- The amount of likes a topic has
Note that I’m basing this on my experience and not on any official communication from the Anytype team.
There are plans to activate a voting plugin to make it easier to upvote a topic instead of separate posts underneath a topic as those do not count towards the likes of the topic itself. A lot of work has been done to clean up stale bug reports and feature requests, and to split/merge/refine feature requests where relevant. As there is a lot of other work to be done like squashing a lot of bugs (introduction of the Nightly Testers program), working towards feature parity (introduction of the Release Train), and self-onboarding (to reduce workload of the team needed for the current onboarding proces) to name a few, there is no ETA yet on when the voting plugin will be rolled out.
