Allow item text size to be based proportionally on the number of children and/or jumps and/or parents. This might be handy in any view,
This would convey the importance or influence of an item. Optionally this could be done based on the number of clicks an item has. I think the basic concept has been termed "tag cloud" or "word cloud".

Outlining (In Notes) - Move children when parent moved
Currently the only outlining features available in notes are
1. Create structured or unstructured notes
2. You can move a line up & down using keyboard shortcutsAssume My outline looks like
This is Root
-------Parent A
------------Child A1
------------Child A2
------------Child A3
-------Parent B
1. If I were to move Parent B up , the expected B should be

-------------Child A3
But the behaviour in notes inThis is Root

Revisit supporting Google calendar sync
While it's not clear why TheBrain developers dislike supporting Google calendar sync, deprecating the feature is not good. Many of the notes I create in TheBrain are related to events, and so the abrupt cutting off of support without and explanation puts all those notes at risk. Not a good call.

Implement Hashtags for searching and potentially interoperable with TB Tags
1) As a user, I would like to search on hashtags that exist in included markdown documents or that I might add to Brain notes. Currently special characters like # are stripped out of search
2) As a user, I would like hashtags to work interoperable with Tags. Any found hashtags would show up in the Tags menu. This would greatly increase interoperability with other markdown tools

eml (Email) file support
Treat eml files like PDFs. Just show the to, subject, sent date, and body fields as if it were a PDF like document. I know that there have been a number of discussions on this subject, and the hangup seems to come down to issues with an email client. The common denominator is the eml file format. Allow us to attach it to a thought and view it's contents without launching an external app. Let us worry about how we get the eml file in the first place.

THEBRAIN AS A CLONED PERSONAL DIGITAL BRAIN, A TWIN BRAIN MANAGED WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
analysis of all the documents and notes contained in a brain (a bit like in Google notebooklm) to be able to analyze them with artificial intelligence.
In practice, thebrain could become a digital twin of one's mind or personality (soul?) that can be interrogated to understand the characteristics of the things that interest us or if we insert a personal diary the characteristics of our personality or identity to be investigated and discussed with artificial intelligence?1 vote -
Integrate with Readwise
Virtually all of the major notetaking apps, and also a number of apps in beta allow information to seamlessly pass between Readwise and the notetaking app itself. It's an automatic transition. It would be incredible if could use this into the brain.

Friendlier match indications when searching notes & PDFs
After searching a note or PDF and matching some items, when clicking the next or previous match arrows, display the current match number next to the total matches count so that you can see where you are in the list of matches.
Display the matching item positions in the file as highlight lines on the scroll bar (and ideally allow clicking on a highlight line in the scrollbar to go to that match)

Add multi-monitor support in the following manor...
I would love to see the following implimentation for the theBrain, for us multi-monitor folks;
The ability to navigate the Plex on one monitor(ie, left portrait monitor), while working on the subsequent notes for thoughts on a second monitor.
This method has proven very effective with implementations such as CAD or technical drawing software, by setting-up a menu on the left side of a multi-monitor grouping(commonly in portrait mode), while performing work in the central or right side monitor(typically in landscape mode).
That said, I think this could prove to be a very helpful feature with theBrain, in-that the plex…

API Keys
As a new user and owner of webs developed using TheBrain, I like the idea of having access via an API interface. While I don't necessarily have the skill to program in the API, just like I don't necessarily have the electrical qualifications to work on my house, I would like to hire one, the only problem here is if I give my Electrician the key to the house, he/she has the key to all my houses. This is not good. Is it possible to have an API key made that only allows you to work on one "house" and…

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.
This is discussed here

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.
