Display backlinks and mentions in Web Client
I have used The Brain for years, but like many people I can't install programs on my work computer and must rely on the Web Client that syncs with the local installation on my personal computer. Backlinks and mentions are critical features for me, but they are not displayed on the Web Client. I would expect there are many in my situation who really want these features on the Web Client as well. Thanks for considering this.

Enable AI prompts to use content from TheBrain thoughts.
This would be a GAME CHANGER for me. I understand TheBrain uses an External AI tool to generate its responses and that it does not use the content of the brain as a custom large language model (though that should be a long term aim!). However, it should surely be easy to create a custom prompt that retrieves information from the Brain that can form part of the prompt that is sent externally.
For example, with AI tools I am currently creating prompts like, "Summarise the following", "Show any common threads in" etc and then I copy paste the content…7 votes -
Idea capture
I've been using TB for 20 years; yup I'm an original.
As may seem logical, as much as TB is my virtual office space; I use other products and they inspire me to view their functions and capabilities that would fit nicely into TB without it seeming to be some kind of copy of competing products.
I trialled Tana app recently, and as much as it's to me just another complex PKM product that simply cannot rival TB, it has a rather awesome mobile device app called Tana Capture and I am super convinced we Brain users would benefit immensely…

Make it possible to insert an image as a thought icon, from a heic file
I see .jpg and .png and .gif formats are supported (User Guide TheBrain 14 p115) Since the heic format seems to be standard in the Apple system, it would be useful to be able to copy them to icons.

be able to link to any thought within a brain just as if it's a url.
We need to be able to link to a thought from programs outside. I want to associate brain map thoughts within an ARCGIS storyboard.

Make it easier to transfer a thought from one parent to another
Make it easier to transfer a thought from one parent to another by having the ability to CUT + PASTE rather than the existing COPY+PASTE+UNLINK THOUGHT

Dynamic link to MSOffice
It would be very valuable to have a dynamic link capability between Thoughts and elements in MSOffice, especially Outlook. I am not talking about file links, but more like a direct interface so that a person in a Thought can be dynamically linked to their Contact in Office.

AI Assistant
Currently AI in the brain can be used to generate thoughts and content within thoughts.
I believe that the next logical step is to get some AI analysis of content and thoughts into The Brain.
I would love to have the ability to click a thought point, and drag as though I were creating or linking a thought. Then when I let go, normally it gives you a "create thought" bubble which lets you either search or name that thought. This could be above, left, or below.
But instead of requiring you to start searching, make the AI do the…

I would like the ability to change a group of thoughts to a type or tag. Currently you have to do this one at a time.
When changing a thought to a type or tag you have to do it individually. It would be good to grab a group of thoughts and allow the ability to change the group to a type or tag.

Make note links color editable based on thought types etc.
I have thought types for people, organizations, etc. It would be nice if, when I put links to those thoughts into notes, if I were able to adjust their link color based on their thought type.
For example, if I set up People thoughts to be highlighted as green text color in Plex, I also want links to those thoughts in notes to be shown in green instead of the standard link color set up in the notes theme.
In Obsidian, this is possible with a plugin called Supercharged Links ( https://github.com/mdelobelle/obsidian_supercharged_links ).

I would love to be able to search my TheBrain thoughts with the MacOS spotlight search and when clicking on a result to open it up in TheBrain. This would help my workflows tremendously. Please upvote.

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)

Display current page # of attached PDF displayed and page count. Perhaps in the vertical slider or next to printer icon.
Adding footnotes to exported reports/pdf. I understand that MATH functions of laytext work in the notes editor. Could latex functions like \footnote[N]{foot note text} and or \textit{italic text goes here} be added to the report export function. Love the note editor however it does not quite yet replace a word processor. Work around is to write in editors then cut and paste to laytxt.

We need a powerful note editor like Typora
I hope you can refer to the markdown software Typora.
Its mathematical functions are quite powerful, with inline mathematical formulas and formula blocks, support for non-English characters, and center-aligned lines.The rendering process is processed by MathJax.
It also supports using pandoc to import and export documents, which is very convenient.Export to PDF with bookmarks. Go further and export or import. More formats, including docx, OpenOffice, LaTeX, MediaWiki, Epub, etc, can be exported or imported.
Automatically match common MD editor characters,Auto complete pair of brackets and quotes like a code editor. Also, There's also an option to auto pair markdown symbols,…

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.

Repeat Screen Shot to Note at same size
When watching presentations in meetings or webinars, I often want to repeatedly screen capture into notes. Sometimes slides are moving fast and I don't have time to drag the screen shot window evertime.
As a user, I would like to have a command that Repeats Previous Screenshot and adds to current note.This is discussed here

create orphan thought from brainbox
I'd like to be able to create a new orphan thought from an entry in brain box rather than adding it as a child to something else and then having to unlink it.
