  1. It's common to mistakenly write text realizing it's all the wrong case.

    Let's have the ability to format text to either, ALL CAPS, Sentence caps or other formats, such as is common within Word, Libre Office and other notes editors. Even Mindjet (the dying product) has had this ability for many years.

  2. I would love to use the reminder feature more - but I tend to use iOS (mobile) for this kind of thing and desktop brain reminders don't work unless I am at the computer on thebrain.....

    Until now, google cal integration and reminders have been different - so something were I can get my brain notifications on iOS. In app push server support, maybe?

    Also option for daily reminder email with todays/upcomming reminders would be good.

    It would help my ASD/ADHD brain a load!

  3. It is not consistent at all. I cannot type into child thoughts, sometimes when I launch the app the brain does not show up, it’s just a white screen. Why is that? TheBrain basically does not work on IOS. Brains are viewable on IOS but it’s very difficult to “work” on IOS. Would love for you to get back to me with these issues.

  4. Note editor should be improved. I’m using Logseq as an outliner instead of the Brain because in TB you can’t contract and expanded outlined Note. The contracted outline will be expanded by default when you open the note again.

  6. The fonts of paragraphs and headings at all levels in the note style can be set individually just like in the theme settings. and it is useful to solve the problem of personalization of notes for users from non-English speaking countries by directly calling the fonts installed in the system, especially to solve the problem of abnormal rendering of English characters when mixing Chinese and English, which is more conducive to the internationalization of TheBrain.

  7. 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".

  8. One click to link all thoughts in a note. This will also serve to reactivate dead links (which happens when you merge thoughts then delete forgotten).

  10. 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

    One of many forum threads

  11. 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.

  12. 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?

  13. 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.

  15. 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)

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. 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
