Great list!
Chart layout, map layout, two way relation, formulas, change property type… ![]()
Please consider also (from request, bugs, user case,…) :
Architecture
- Inline and full version of Collection must have the same functionnality (it’s not the case actually and it’s a pain)
Properties
-
URL
– Displayed as a button when the width of the columns is reduced.
Yes, in general, do we want to read the link or access it? Especially since many links are unreadable and long, the column will rarely be wide enough. Wouldn’t it be better to just display a button/icon that launches the link? I think so. -
Number
– Decorator pleeeease! I hardly ever use numbers, because I don’t want to display 1000, 17, 12.3n but $1000, 17°, 12.3cm, 60min. -
Rich text
Plese consider also a rich text property -
Image
– Bigger display of images
When you have images in a property, you usually want to see them.
Currently, the table view displays them very small with their names. It would be useful to be able to enable/disable the display of the name and size.
Yes, the lines would be taller, but this would also meet requests to be able to use properties (text instead of “rich text”) on multiple lines or to allow line breaks on properties that are too long.
Features
Conditionnal Format, it include the conditionnal color of lines based on property value?
- CSV Import
Yes, please allow larger imports (number of rows and columns) and manage column typing during import!
Quality of Life
-
UX - Drag&Drop
– Drag&Drop files from web into collection
– Drag&Drop files from object into collections
– Drag&Drop files into inline collections (same as for full collection)
– Drag&Drop object from a widget into a collection -
Navigation
Navigation should be made easier: icons and keyboard shortcuts should allow users to display the next/previous item in a collection (Navigate between objects of a set). -
Edit
Make adding a relationship faster
Enable quick editing of values in a table view, as in a spreadsheet
Quickly add a file to its property via drag and drop -
Records & History
All changes must be reversible via undo; this is important for trust! If we are afraid to make changes because we cannot go back… well, we do less!
- Views & Display
-
Allow a minimal display, with only the display of objects and not all the overhead of editing the collection or view
User case example : dashboard
With a “last item” with a feature that displays the name and date of the last item added without overloading it with editing elements or the “add” button
Or with a photo gallery
etc -
Hide the name option. Not “Non-name relation as primary field”, sometimes we do not wish to display a primary filed.
Example : On a recipe or wine bottle, I add tasting notes with a general opinion and rating. There is no title, but Anytype adds one!
If necessary for editing, it should be possible to reduce it to a small, discreet edit button. -
Cover with image from content
-
Content as a displayable element
