1. 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 Mind Map view (which is also great!)

   As it is now, it's a bit maddening, like trying to work with a file system where the files dance around like moths while you're trying to look at them. So much thought was given to options like fine-tuning the animation speed, which is great, but the much simpler option to disable it entirely was neglected!

3. 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

5. 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.

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. Retain status of heading folding state in notes

   Currently when you fold a heading the information under it is hidden (standard behavior).

   However, when you navigate away from the thought and then activate it again, all headings are expanded. It would be nice if the fold status of headings is saved with the note it retains fold status after navigating away.

10. 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.

11. Add Cloud icon variations to be able to see sync status at a glance

    I would like to be able to tell sync status just by looking at the Cloud icon. I have attached a visual of one possible solution.

    This would be useful in several situations:

    • My Brain is having a sync problem, but I don't realize it until days later. This is because I have to click on the little triangle to see the sync status, but there is nothing to prompt me to do that if I assume sync is automatically happening like it usually does.

    • I'm stepping away from my desk, and want to make sure my latest changes will be available on my phone.

    • I'm on my phone and want to close the mobile app, but I can't tell if my changes were synced yet or not. So, I trigger a manual sync to make sure.

12. Add indents, lines, or bullets between items in a Table of Contents

    When items in a Table of Contents wrap to two or more lines, it can be difficult to distinguish between the different items in the list.

    I suggest adding formatting that makes it easier to see where each new item begins. I've attached a few possibilities.

13. Customise Toolbar

    These days, many apps have a feature to customise the toolbar: change sequence of icons or remove and add them. (Originally I was going to ask for a button to breing up the Todo List, but I realise that might only help me - while they real benefit would come if we had an option to just tailor it to our needs)

    (Ok, maybe you think there are options that need to be there and maybe you always want them to be in that sequence - then at least give as the option to control a "custom" portion of the bar...)

14. 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.

18. Customization on what is or isn't omitted in child thoughts

    For example I use ISO format for dates, so 2025, 4 for april, and 2025, 4, 4, as a child thought would be the 4th of April, but that would look different then the 3rd which would look right as only "3", the fourth would be "4, 4"
