The note indicator in the Plex area and the back link in the note area can be hovered for viewing and editing like the Hover Editor plug-in in Obsidian. This is simply great. We need more powerful note editing functions.
The recent list below the Plex area allows you to view older ideas by scrolling the mouse wheel, which is very useful for users with small screens.

Add support for MathJax formulas, just like ANKI.
Both thoght nodes and notes support MathJax mathematical formulas to solve the problem of inability to input in subjects such as physics and chemistry. In addition, the formulas can support Chinese and other non-English characters.

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.

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
This is Root
---------Parent B

-------------Child A3
But the behaviour in notes inThis is Root
------Parent A
----------Child A1
----------Child A2
------Parent B

Attribute Inheritance with Tags
If not explicitly overridden subtypes inherit the attributes (i.e. color, icon) of their super type.
The same should happen with tags and subtags.1 vote -
UI enhancements to the AI note generation
Have a text box to add some text at the bottom of AI generated content. For me it would be "Generated by $model on $date". Ideally those would fill in
For Length of AI, a slider is not a good interface. Replace with Radio buttons giving easy access to different lengths. See screen shot
https://forums.thebrain.com/post/feedback-word-count-on-ai-9841-9930-9931-12744381Add a checkbox to optionally have AI add a Wikipedia link and maybe some other common ones. I often type this in and its helpful to get this link automatically.

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.

Private Hosted Sync Server Support
Allow me as a user to host my own sync service that I can use for air-gapped networks. This would allow me to share my brain with my local devices that cannot directly reach the Internet.

Clone (Mirror) attachments within a Brain
I only see this in Workflowy and for me and many of my colleagues it works extremely well. I do hope my "burning the midnight oil" doesn't make this idea seem totally silly. Oh boy!

Support structured notes
While the free form of notes is useful, there are also scenarios where I'd like to feed/store handle structured data in my Brain (like records of database).
So the parent thought could have some flag associated with it that would cause all child notes to have a certain type.
And for every type, it should be possible to add "fields" to notes (in addition to a "text" field that all notes have). Field types could be (in addition to "markdown") be "integer", "float", "date", "boolean".
And these fields should be available in selections with comparison options as appropriate for the…13 votes -
MD Types for Thought types
For a thought type - e.g. Citation I would like to have a citation MD which will be preperated like a formula
Author:
Titel:
Pages
etc.This should be the default MD for the specific type.
Or a possibility to create Default MDs for special thoughts, which could be added via Add Attachment/Add Special MD File. The default blank MD File should be replaced with this special md file
The default MD file should be replaced, with the MD type file, because I would like to see it clicking on the thought without the necessity of a further selection.

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…19 votes -
