Actionable Grid View (as alternative Plex view)
As an alternate to the Plex (I don't see using both at same time) have a filterable list (think simple spreadsheet or grid) where you can filter and sort columns. Columns would be adjustable but at minimum Thought Name, Type, Tags, Create Date, Update Date, Attachment Exists. You would select on the grid and the note would be visible. The idea is you could mass update Tags and Types, or you could rapidly move through a list of notes.

add print functionality to the mindmap view
The 'workaround' of taking a screenshot and printing it is NOT suitable. I want to be able to natively print the mind map, several levels deep, on to A3 so it can be added to hardcopy report packs. To get all levels in a screen shot means zooming out, and then taking the screenshot, pasting it into something else and then scale it up to A3. This results in a really poor quality output.

Have thoughts with Type show up higher in search results
I have typed thoughts that are Categories or Focus areas that I search for often and would like thoughts with Types set to get stronger weighting in the search algorithm.

Brain Box extension - have two right click options
I am not comfortable with the work flow of BrainBox. I suggest having two right click options (or left click options), one for Add to Brainbox and one for Select Parent thought. This allows the user to chose AT THE TIME OF ACTION, rather than having had to remember to set the setting on the last usage. I do not want Vulcan to open if possible, I would just want a search box, but understand if that can't happen. When using the Extension, I don't want to "be in The Brain", I want to be moving on to the next…

Have Custom Instructions for the AI prompt
Custom Instructions are like standing instructions to the AI tool that apply to every prompt. OpenAI calls them Custom Instructions, you might use a different name like default or something. For me I would dictate a style of response and the use of bullets.

UI101: Closing Pop-up Windows
It would be helpful to add the usual "X" button for "Close Window" to the pop-up windows of the commands "Add Attachment/Add from Brainbox..." and "Add Attachmen/Add File from Template...". I know, one can use ESC, but having a "X" button for closing a window is an almost universal standard that everybody knows.

Allow the manual customization of Notes HTML, so I can use Tabulator to create custom tables
I would like to be able to manually edit the html of notes from inside thebrain (and have it rendered in notes), to include styling and external scripts like Tabulator, which is a javascript library that is used to create dynamic interactive tables. I think adding a raw code html feature to notes would be awesome and allow us to customize our notes further!

Backlink support in Android and iOS apps
Need support for viewing and adding backlinks within the Android app. Such a feature is important within The Brain, so lack of Android support is puzzling.
3 votesThis will be included in the upcoming mobile app refresh

Enable opening thought links on iOS via other apps
Please enable opening thought links in TheBrain app on iOS (and Android).
I use e.g. OmniFocus and DevonThink next to TheBrain. On MacOS I can post links to relevant thoughts into those tools and easily access the thoughts as needed.
However, instead of opening in TheBrain, on iOS these links do nothing. This limits cross-app workflows significantly on mobile

Display current page # of attached PDF displayed and page count. Perhaps in the vertical slider or next to printer icon.
Adding footnotes to exported reports/pdf. I understand that MATH functions of laytext work in the notes editor. Could latex functions like \footnote[N]{foot note text} and or \textit{italic text goes here} be added to the report export function. Love the note editor however it does not quite yet replace a word processor. Work around is to write in editors then cut and paste to laytxt.

Make it possible to deselect Notes content under Create Document.
For purposes of feeding content to an AI, I'd like to be able to Create a Document that only includes the Thought Title and Label Content. Right now there is now way to exclude the full Notes content.

create orphan thought from brainbox
I'd like to be able to create a new orphan thought from an entry in brain box rather than adding it as a child to something else and then having to unlink it.

Display backlinks and mentions in Web Client
I have used The Brain for years, but like many people I can't install programs on my work computer and must rely on the Web Client that syncs with the local installation on my personal computer. Backlinks and mentions are critical features for me, but they are not displayed on the Web Client. I would expect there are many in my situation who really want these features on the Web Client as well. Thanks for considering this.

Better Redo Function in the AI of the Notes Editor
When using the Redo function in the AI assitant of the notes editor it would be helpful to have access to the last prompt entered. Often a Redo implies a change or refinement of the last prompt. Currently one has to reenter the complete previous prompt (and to remember the exact previous wording).

Clone (Mirror) attachments within a Brain
I only see this in Workflowy and for me and many of my colleagues it works extremely well. I do hope my "burning the midnight oil" doesn't make this idea seem totally silly. Oh boy!

Make it possible to insert an image as a thought icon, from a heic file
I see .jpg and .png and .gif formats are supported (User Guide TheBrain 14 p115) Since the heic format seems to be standard in the Apple system, it would be useful to be able to copy them to icons.

be able to link to any thought within a brain just as if it's a url.
We need to be able to link to a thought from programs outside. I want to associate brain map thoughts within an ARCGIS storyboard.
