Hi @neyes thanks for sharing your experience. I’m linking some topics here to make sure you see what feature you’d like to see are already covered in existing feature requests. For the other ones it would be great if you could submit your own feature requests!
I hope I get your remark right! There are many people asking for some way or form to structure their content in Anytype. Setting up an hierarchy for your Objects is one of the suggestions made by several alpha users.
I will use as an example History notes, but this would apply to any content type that requires (or could benefit from) nesting. Note this would require some sort of tree structure (where parents-children relations are explicit), which I don’t think we have.
Say I have a page for “Conflict A”, and four pages linked to it for specific events within that conflict (for example, “Battle 1”, “Battle 2” and “Battle 3”).
I’d like to be able to have a Set view in which the hierarchy between these entri…
I must say, since I started using Anytype, the biggest frustration and surprise to me was the lack of a sidebar and traditional “tree” navigation. There seems to be the concept of page parentage, i.e. sub-pages, so the structure is there. But it is handled much more like mobile home screen nav, which is extremely limited as number of pages grow, and makes it needlessly difficult to navigate, create and maintain good hierarchies, etc. This kind of navigation paradigm was really created for mobile…
As referenced in Layout as a Type with templates I would like a Tree-object.
Although the graph is amazing, a hierarchy or tree might come in handy as well. An object could be linked to or used in multiple tree-objects. You would also have to state which object is the parent (the tree or some other object within the tree).
You could use a tree-object as a table of contents on a page. This could be created automatically based upon the headings. You could use a tree-object in navigation. I don’t…
howdy all!
Truly, LOVING anytype. This is really something else!
I’m not sure where the best place for this is, but I’m hoping to encourage some discussion around the use cases/data model design skeletons
These references/ prototypes… in my mind… would help demonstrate the ‘this is how we think laying out your pages/sets/objects/references is going to be best as of today…’ for different archtetypical use-cases.
The power I see in anytype is the INCREDIBLE flexibility.
I suspect that’s also…
Maybe you can elaborate on how you prefer to organize your Objects?
neyes:
Notifications are simply necessary for tasks in Mobile Platforms (and maybe in PC/Mac)
I agree and we are not alone:
Anytype is in an interesting early phase where, unlike most productivity apps I use, it actually has little or no need for a “notifications” system. But if I understand future plans right, then it will definitely need such a system eventually. So I’d like to open up some discussion on UI/UX and features we’d like to see in such a system and see if we can help shape its direction as it is being planned and initially developed.
I don’t think there is a feature request specifically for view SVG icons, but there is this FR to allow SVG’s to be used for page icons, which would in the end result in the same thing: SVG’s being supported to be previewed within an Object (either as icon or as image block/inline image):
I noticed that when uploading an SVG image to Anytype’s editor, it will only add a link to it instead of an image.
[asd]
Would love to see SVG preview in editor as I always use SVG for flowcharts and UI prototypes. Vector images are awesome!
I was so sure there is a feature request to allow the TOC to be displayed in the sidebar, but… I cannot find it right now, so it might only exist in my head. There are some larger discussions about what should(n’t) be displayed in the sidebar and multitasking in general (multiple panes, multiple windows, etc.), but I’d like to invite you to submit your own feature request for this one.
I think this is a bug and should be resolved already:
Describe the bug
The close button of the app only hides the foreground process while the background process are still running including the tray icon. Opening the app from the tray displays the following error. Killing the background process displays the same error at times

Clicking the close button should close the app and kill all the background process gracefully

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to have my note-taking tool ready at all times. Need to write something down? I want to do it as quickly and easily as possible. Need to look something up? Same thing.
But it’s not something I want to keep in the foreground, not something that should clutter my application bar.
It should just be there on standby.
Describe the solution you’d like
When pressing close (x), instead of actually quitting, make anytype minimize …
