I would find it super cool if we had a “paper cut” list – a list of things that are (assumed) easy to implement, and would give a considerable improvement of the product.

If that list would then be _transparently_ tackled by Any, that would be even better.

Some “bigger” features or comments, speaking for myself:

- [My API use cases](https://community.anytype.io/t/anytype-api-research-share-your-use-cases-with-our-devs/22949/45), as shared in the appropriate [thread](https://community.anytype.io/t/anytype-api-research-share-your-use-cases-with-our-devs/22949)

Papercuts of mine (continuously updated):

- editor issues
  - ~~[sorting in tag dropdown selection broken](https://community.anytype.io/t/sorting-in-tag-dropdown-selection-broken/29033) (Oct 13th, 2025)~~ my misunderstanding
  - sorting in tag dropdown selection broken [here](https://community.anytype.io/t/trouble-reordering-multi-select-property/28927) and [here](https://community.anytype.io/t/sort-order-of-multi-select-options-corrupt/28951) (reported: Oct 2nd, 2025; me: Nov 1st)
  - [markdown compatibility “word end”](https://community.anytype.io/t/markdown-compatibility-with-concrete-example/27924) (May 23rd 2025)
  - [formatting changes on link paste](https://community.anytype.io/t/editor-formatting-removed-on-link-paste/27891) (May 20th 2025)
  - [Whitespace behavior with Markdown replacements](https://community.anytype.io/t/markdown-replacement-whitespace-behavior/27193) (Mar 12th 2025)
  - [BUG] [Text gets deleted constantly when I'm typing](https://community.anytype.io/t/text-gets-deleted-constantly-when-im-typing/25520) (jan 4th 2025)
  - [Clicking into empty space creates newlines (two column layout)](https://community.anytype.io/t/clicking-into-empty-space-creates-empty-newlines/26321) (jan 14th 2025)

- Usability / UX
  - ~~[Arrow keys don’t move between choice options as expected](https://community.anytype.io/t/arrow-keys-dont-move-between-choice-options-as-expected/26636) (feb 6th)~~ (fixed with 0.45.3)
  - [Remember scrolling position](https://community.anytype.io/t/remember-scrolling-position-when-going-back/25551) (nov 29th 2024)
  - [centering gallery view images](https://community.anytype.io/t/gallery-view-center-cover-image-or-manually-set-focal-point/24538), see “[Gallery view customization](https://community.anytype.io/t/gallery-view-customization/7970/1)” (oct 14th 2024)
  - [Several keyboard behavior, shortcut, macOS specific improvements](https://community.anytype.io/t/better-keyboard-handling-more-standard-or-expected-behavior/24513) (oct 13th 2024)

- Other
  - API apparently nowhere to be seen … ?
  - [Allow limiting the scope of relations](https://community.anytype.io/t/ability-to-limit-the-scope-of-a-relation/1553); small _visible_ change and maybe not trivial to implement, yet the OP is absolutely correct (Jan 16th 2025)

- fixed
  - ~~[BUG] [Date entry not working](https://community.anytype.io/t/date-entry-not-working/26112) (dec 30th 2024)~~ ~~([fixed with 0.45.3](https://community.anytype.io/t/date-entry-broken-pt-ii-fixed-with-0-46-8/27976))~~ (fixed with 0.46.8)

Great idea but you should have created an Any talk post and list every single feature like this in it.

EDIT: My bad, I mistaken the category

great idea “but” 😆 . love it. if i would have known that this is the right thing to do i’d have done it.

so, is this _not_ an anytalk post? or what are you refering to? and feel free to add yours …

No idea if these are actually “easy”, but here’s mine:

- More aspect ratios for Gallery View covers
- Wrapping contents in Sets/Collections instead of cutting them visually
- Displaying all relations wherever they are (currently there’s a limit, so you can’t view everything at a glance)
- More headers
- Allow us to select lighter colors for texts and darker ones for backgrounds

These are not dealbreakers, but I’d love to see it fixed or implemented in Anytype one day.
