1. Filter a view that would show only pending to do items.

   Filter a view to show all pending (or checked) to-do items. Currently, the right-panel tells me how many pending to dos there are, but then shows all items, pending and checked. I'd like to see only pending. Or, I'd like to see only checked.

3. Let the note editor seamlessly work with selection of thoughts, editing continuous content

   Currently, the note editor is restricted to the 'active' thought. However, I would like to edit thought notes in an integrated continuous way (like the scrivenings mode in Scrivener). This would allow me to work on content more easily that is distributed across notes (such as scenes of a novel.

   The notes could be separated with a dotted line for example, and when moving in the note editor to other notes, the relevant thought in the plex is navigated to automatically. This would be amazing, as you would always have your relevant brain-part available to you as you focus on your content.

   In essence, this would enable TheBrain to be used in a more content-focused mode, rather than primarily only a thought navigation mode that also happens to supports notes.

4. The brain as a reading tool - able to directly support note-taking process.

   --> (1) First of all - visualisation of e-books.

   Currently, only PDF files are being visualised in the notes section. All other files are represented by a file name and an icon. In order to become a research and reading platform, more file types must be visualized.

   And this is not difficult, as the visualisation code is available in open-source communities for free.

   The following document types should be readable within Thebrain application:

   type status Importance
   PDF is visible, High supports reading
   EPUB To add High supports reading

   🛠 How Hard Would It Be for TheBrain to Add Support? (Chatgpt-answer)

   • EPUB – Moderate Effort

     Use epub.js (JavaScript library) to render inside TheBrain’s web-like view.

     Would likely require embedding a web component and adding some formatting controls.

     Reasonably doable, especially on desktop (Electron-based frontend).

   With these two types, 99% of documents will be visualised and immediately readable in Thebrain.

   --> (2) As a reader and researcher, I miss a very important functionality in Thebrain. We miss the combination of an open document (.PDF or .EPUB) and an open notes canvas beside each other. This would allow a real note-taking process within Thebrain. Currently, when reading e-books, we need to have to use external readers and note-taking apps and import the results into Thebrain. But Thebrain could offer the situation as presented in Figure 2. It would be easy to copy specific sentences out of the book into a note. (Figure 1)

   --> (3) Adding some extra functionality like:
   - returning to the position in the 'book and notes combination' in order to re-instate the last working context and be able to work further where we left off.
   - possibility to annotate within the e-books. Also, the possibility to visualise all annotations in a list and, by selection, go to their position in the document.

   One thought further is that it would be great to have defined layouts in the brain:
   Example:

   • Default mode:
     Where you have the plex and notes canvas, allowing the basic behaviour using Thebrain. (Figure 1)
     This mode already exists.

   • Reading mode:
     where you have both the document you want to read and a notes canvas together. When saving, both the context where you left is saved, and the note is saved as a child thought under the thought of the e-book. (Figure 2)

   • Presentation mode:
     where you can present a stream of thoughts with their corresponding notes combined with plex-views that has been created ahead.

   This include the definition of a presentation stream:
   Define stream: <Stream-name>
   1. Thought 1 - visualise plex and note
   2. Thought 2 - visualise plex and note
   3. Plex-view - view plex content only
   4. View figure - view a specific figure within a note - (graphics)

   To start: goto presentation mode and start the stream <stream-name>, this stream could be played automatically or manually.

   --> (1) First of all - visualisation of e-books.

   Currently, only PDF files are being visualised in the notes section. All other files are represented by a file name and an icon. In order to become a research and reading platform, more file types must be visualized.

   And this is not difficult, as the visualisation code is available in open-source communities for free.

   The following document types should be readable within Thebrain application:

   type status Importance
   PDF is visible, High supports reading
   EPUB To add High supports reading

6. There’s a good Markdown App Taio only works on Apple, you guys should acquire and integrate the two as stand alone apps or sync and heavily

   Taio is pretty much one of the few apps you can copy from AI like Perplexity and Copilot, if pastes as a markdown with * all over, by changing the view type it’s clean and can be copied into word etc.. love their box for code, clean and neat, lots of different types of code to choose from

9. Some Tips for the BrainBox

   I usually use the BB to keep ideas, comments, URLs, images, and so on, from LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Captures made by my phone - always in the phone. Now I have a BB full of material, and I hate to go there, and begin to understand what did I kept that or for what.
   I suggest:
   Rename the link (it does not work properly in my Android-Motorola Edge 40 Pro), and make it work, perhaps beginning with a key such as two or three characters...
   then sort the info in the BB, and all those could be massive taken to a THOUGHT or place to sort lately.
   Create rules to sort and move to a specific THOUGHT, exactly as they exist in the mailboxes.
   For me the BB today is nice but unusefulness for this reason.
   You may say it works perfectly in the Desktop, but not in my Motorola, for sure!!
   It should work in a cellphone perfectly, not only in iPhones.

   Thank you...

10. For the Desktop app, include Tag and Type for the thought in the Notes

    I have several thoughts with several tags and the desktop plex becomes crowded. I would like the option to display the tags and type of a though in the notes and not show on the plex below the thought. I know this works in the web and app version, but I would like it in the desktop version also.

12. Generative AI Integration for the whole Brain and its Language

    To elevate TheBrain's capabilities in its next version, we propose an advanced integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) that deeply understands and utilizes the application's unique structures—Plex and Notes. This integration aims to transform TheBrain into a more intuitive and powerful tool for knowledge management and creative workflows.

    ---

    1. Context-Aware AI Agents

    a. Deep Integration with Plex and Notes

    • Global Contextual Understanding: Enable AI to access and interpret the entire brain's structure, allowing for more coherent and contextually relevant content generation.
    • Semantic Awareness: Allow AI to recognize and utilize the relationships between thoughts, enhancing the relevance of generated content.

    b. Modular AI Agents with "@" Mentions

    • Specialized Agents: Introduce agents like @plex, @note, and @summarize to handle specific tasks. For example:
      • @plex: Generates or restructures thought hierarchies.
      • @note: Creates or edits note content.
      • @summarize: Provides summaries of selected thoughts or notes.

    ---

    2. Interactive and Clickable Prompts

    • Dynamic Prompting: Implement prompts that can be clicked to trigger specific AI actions, such as expanding a thought or generating related content.
    • Contextual Suggestions: Offer AI-generated prompt suggestions based on the current thought or note context.

    ---

    3. Configurable LLM Integration

    • Custom Model Selection: Allow users to integrate their own API keys and choose preferred LLMs (e.g., OpenAI's GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude).
    • Parameter Adjustments: Provide settings to adjust AI behavior, such as creativity levels, response length, and tone.

    ---

    4. Enhanced Prompt Engineering Interface

    • Prompt Templates: Offer reusable templates for common tasks, streamlining the content generation process.
    • Prompt History and Management: Maintain a history of prompts and their outputs, allowing users to revisit and refine previous interactions.

    ---

    5. Advanced Content Generation Features

    • Chain-of-Thought Reasoning: Implement AI capabilities that simulate step-by-step reasoning, enhancing the depth of generated content.
    • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Combine LLMs with retrieval systems to generate content grounded in existing brain data.

    ---

    6. User Experience Enhancements

    • Visual Indicators: Clearly label AI-generated content within the Plex and Notes to distinguish it from user-created content.
    • Feedback Mechanisms: Allow users to provide feedback on AI outputs, facilitating continuous improvement of AI performance.

    ---

    By implementing these features, TheBrain can offer a more intelligent, responsive, and user-centric experience, further solidifying its position as a leading tool for knowledge management and creative exploration.

13. Advanced search - find thoughts that mention a specific phrase in note

    I want to find thoughts that mention a specific word or phrase.

    All search tools use a special operator for this: quotation marks, but not TheBrain Desktop and Vulcan. Actually, put quotation marks around any word or phrase, such as ["advanced search"], will show all throught that contain any words in phrase.

    Putting a search query in quote finds exact matches of the phrase and shows them first. Additional matches that contain all the words in the phrase are also shown. Given that, is the goal of request to eliminate these "extra" results?

14. Creation and editing of graphical notes, such as handwritten text or sketches using a stylus

    Please enhance the notes editor to allow the creation and editing of graphical notes, such as handwritten text or sketches using a stylus.

    It would be fantastic to implement functionality similar to tools like Nebo or OneNote, which enable seamless integration of handwritten notes and drawings. This would significantly enhance the usability and versatility of TheBrain, especially for users who prefer working visually or using a pen (e.g., Wacom Pencil) on tablets.

    Thank you for considering this suggestion!

16. Have a Markdown Template to Format Notes and Avoid Typing the Same Phrases

    Have, in the note content editing area, a tool that allows us to use Markdown structure templates. Today, we can do this by tinkering a bit and using third-party files or external tools. For example, I use the third-party tool Lepton.

    Ideally, this function should be integrated into TheBrain tool to save time and increase efficiency.

    For example, I would like to quickly call up the following note structures:
    - Footer note template (link to similar topics, update date, and copyright)
    - Meeting note template (date, location, subject, participants, summary, and actions...)
    - Contact note template
    - Book note template
    - Product note template
    - Project note template

    (like this original thread : https://forums.thebrain.com/post/is-it-possible-to-set-up-a-kind-of-default-template-for-a-note-5649-12769956?pid=1336257008)

19. A Better way to Segment Brains

    By allowing Cutting and Pasting and maintaining links to other brains, which otherwise would require a huge manual effort and the risk of potentially loose data or at least have a lot of duplication.

    Alternatively a way to sync sections between brains could be an option.
