  1. Artificial Intelligence.

    The links between thoughts could be extended with a new type, for instance: relational facts.
    This link-type would be applicate to thoughts which related to each other on a special way.
    f.i. thought-x isfather tought-y
    thought-y is
    son thought-z
    What is beautiful in that concept is that the user is completely free to make its own relations labels in every possible domain like :
    engine-e has_wheels

    To make the relation link complete, it should be capable to have a new feature (array) where you can put some additional attributes like 4 (four wheels) and methods (script-code function(x,y,z)).…

  2. To include stuff going back (and taken care of) many years ago reduces the value of this list. Once a list is this long it starts to get pointless.

  3. Please create a stylesheet that we can use to customize the look and layout of the sitebrain. Its ugly, not user-friendly, doesn't display the same way as the desktop version, and really isn't up to web standards for 2017. I would rather have a gorgeous and functional hierarchical display of my brain data than what is currently generated. I can't recommend using the sitebrain for anything, which is sad.

  4. As a continuous learner who works in the always evolving world of software/technology, I would love to be able to use an existing brain, or create a new one that allows me to study singular thoughts as if they were the "prompt/question" side of a flashcard, in relation to all related thoughts being the collective "answer" on the other side of the flashcard. (Each Thoughts related Note or Embedded Browser could hold more detail.)

    I would be able to track results such that the "prompt/question" thought would receive a percentage score based on the aggregate result of each individually evaluated…

  5. I love the Embedded Browser feature. It would be so much better if I could optionally "Save" (Clip) the contents into the Notes tab for editing. The amount of time this would save would be exponential. I am sure at some level this is an end goal of the tool, but if not it should be.

    I love the changes I am seeing, keep up the great work!!!

  6. TheBrain, as a commercial AppExchange product on the Force.com (Salesforce) platform, in my opinion would fill a huge existing gap: The ability to easily visualize either system level metadata (object relationships) or even more importantly hierarchical record-level data relationships across those objects.

    The applications of TheBrain from this perspective seem endless. I've listed a few below:

    Administrative/Developer/Architect
    - Implementation Modeling of initial Data Model Architecture
    - Actual Data Model (objects, fields, etc) metadata importing/exporting into Sandbox
    - Ongoing Production level Data Model evaluation for support and trouble shooting purposes.

    End User
    - Data Visualization for improved contextualization of relationships
    -…

  7. I would love for icons to automatically combine For example if I had a people Icon for a group, and a Country Icon for a flag, it would automatically use the flag for the country combined with the people icon for people associated with the country.

  8. I am missing the possibility to find an explanation of words. Strangely enough in this interface for the suggestion of new ideas when you double click on a word an explanation box is presented and in case you want more you can have google translate activated.

    I have Grammarly active but apparently, this does not work in notes of Thebrain. It would be great if that could be allowed.

  9. The most worst scenario will be if your second brain is running well and you operate on the PKM mastery, that some Windows/Libary update will distroy the access of all your ideas, thoughts and connections.
    PB free versions should be able (also with old brains) to export all thoughts and especially also the links and attachements into a folder hierarchy with plain text files. So in this worsed scenario with a licenc free and without any software activation process it will be possible to see and search over your ideas, thoughts and connections with some third party tools, to continue…

    I just wanted to say I don't really like care for the way that thought type selection is divided up into multiple sub menus. Not a very clean design in my opinion.

    Why can't the list of thought types be more like the instant search list with a scroll bar?

  12. Could we have the tag properties shown in the tag list.
    A simple tick mark to show wheter or not the tag is shown on the plex.
    And a simple color box to show the color if one has been chosen.

    Created - When Last Accessed - Though Type - Tags - Parent(s) - Link Type - Link Labels

  16. It's a needless distraction. I tend to edit notes on several children of a parent, while keeping them all in view. Mouse-over editing of children works in normal view until the user moves the mouse cursor over the note. Expanded view is better for the task, because it enables the user to to activate a thought without recentering around it.

    But I'd like a "quiet" toggle...there's no reason to spring the view if it's only going to retract right to where it was. Sometimes a long Thought title is truncated until activated, at which point it covers its neighbor, even …

  17. When dealing with thoughts that have parents with many children (possibly even many parents), it gets hard in normal view to find the correct link from that thought to the parent (to unlink them). It would be much easier if the parent had an item in its context-menu saying "Unlink from {child_thought}".
    Or maybe even add an "Unlink"-menu to every thought which, when opened, shows all parent/child/jump-thoughts.

    And while we're at it, there should be keystroke for that, too :)

  18. There should be a way to turn on/off the display of the comma trick names in expanded and outline view, so that only the last name part is shown.

  19. I suggest this should be implemented as a choice for all thoughts, in a selection, in a report and in search results.

  20. In PB v3.x I could resize a docked window to about ~90% of the opposite side. Now, PB v5.x (maybe even PB 4?) does not allow me to resize a docked window. I would prefer to have the option of resizing docked windows.
