Add label using subsequent parenthesis of thought name during thought creation
Currently, adding parentheses around the first part of a thought name will cause that part to be skipped for sorting purposes, while subsequent parentheses will be ignored. It is recommended to use subsequent parentheses as symbols for adding thought tags, which better aligns with users' habits of adding labels and facilitates users in quickly adding thoughts and labels from copied and pasted text.

Add note content during thought creation
TheBrain already has the feature of add a label during thought creation. It is hoped that a feature of adding note content during thought creation can be added. It is recommended to use a colon as the delimiter, which not only conforms to users' intuition but also facilitates pasting relevant content from web pages, PDFs or other texts, reducing some text processing work.

report sort event
To have the option to "Sort:Event" in the report view. This would allow to report thoughts with events in chronological order.
Context: I cannot really use the timeline view as the events created go over many hundreds of years.

Make the Pin bar full screen and/or two lines deep
With many people working on large monitors, the Pin bar could be much more powerful. Please consider making it full screen width. Part 2 is to make it two lines deep via pulling down with the cursor. Related forum post

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…

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.

Thought Encryption
It would be helpful to be able to encrypt individual thoughts. This should include the granular choice of encrypting:
- Thought name (I know, that might be weird from a usability perspective)
- Notes
- URL Links
- Attachments
Well, I guess basically everything.

A Linux version of TheBrain for Linux Users
I'm a Linux Fedora Plasma user - a Linux version of TheBrain would be highly useful & more practical to me and potentially several, many others.

Add API endpoint to add images that are use in a note's markdown.
The /attachments/{brainId}/{thoughtId}/file can be used to upload files. But everything uploaded through that endpoint is visible as an attachment.
Looking at a note with an embedded .png, I saw those are stored in a .data subfolder - so we need a new endpoint (or an enhanced version of the one I mentioned) to allow saving files there.3 votes -
Enable a static Outline View (disable animations)
Add an option to simply deactivate the animations and keep the outline view permanently expanded (while allowing for manual expanding/collapsing of branches as desired), instead of automatically collapsing all other thoughts whenever a subthought is made active. Basically, working ALL THE TIME way it works when the root thought is active.
The Mind Map view sort of works like this, except it willy-nilly switches thoughts between right and left to "maintain visual balance", which is also not configurable.
So what I'm looking for is the strict left-to-right orientation of the Outline View (which is great) plus the stability of the…

Statistics Improvements and Options
Allow the option to count tags not just thoughts as links, and even have a feature to trend statistics over time, to see how the brain is evolving.

Transclusion
Further to the forum post here: https://forums.thebrain.com/post/transclusion-of-notes-of-other-thoughts-12485147
I would like to see transclusion of notes added to TheBrain. i.e., the process of referencing one thought "A" from another thought "B" such that the content of "A" appears to be a part of "B".

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)

Connection per API with Citavi (Literature administration).
Citavi is widely used as a reference management tool in academic environments. I would prefer a close interface so that TheBrain can also be used for academic work.

Bigger max range for Timeline
At the moment the biggest unit on the screen when you max zoom out is year. Should be at least century! I understand that most of the people are rarely need more than a year of navigation, but for historical events it would be so nice to have at least an option to have several centuries on screen!

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

Add Timeline feature to Web Brain
I have developed an extensive timeline of events tied to thoughts in my webbrain. I have no way to show external users that timeline on the web version of the brain. It would be nice to add for future releases the ability show the timeline view in the Web brain.

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…20 votes
