Have a local globe where you can enter geo-location coordinates
You could create a separate section like the timeline section and have a spot where you can plug in where in the world something might have happened. There are opensource Google Earth-type websites out there with free data and low-poly Earth spheres. Would be just an extra feature to be able to input and export data with, which I believe is one of TheBrain's biggest strengths.

Allowing the X.com AI API to be used as an AI option to the Chat GPT Integration
The ChatGPT integration into Brain was in my opinion pure genius. Kudos to Harlan, Shelly, Matt, and all the engineers who made this possible.
Now could you do the same with others besides ChatGPT?
X.com AI integration would open TheBrain, in way I can only imagine.
Thanks

Making thought-based sharing possible
Making thought-based sharing possible
Currently the only way of sharing a brain is by sharing the whole brain with someone else, or make it publically available where the private thoughts won't be visible. It would be very interesting to share individual thoughts that can be added in someone else's brain, without making it public.
It makes sense, for example, since I could share a project I'm working on with someone else, which is linked to other peojects/people that the other one is not allowed to see (and vice versa).
Making a new brain and copy the thoughts is not the…10 votes -
Implement Hashtags for searching and potentially interoperable with TB Tags
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

Checkboxes and Checkcircles
What if TheBrain had two different check controls: checkboxes and checkcircles?
☐ Checkbox = Todo - Works as it does now and appears in TheBrain's Todo list.
◯ Checkcircle = non-Todo - You can check and uncheck it just like a checkbox, but it never appears in the Todo list.
Sometimes a checkable item isn't something you need to do. It might represent a status, condition, or progress. For example:
☐ Contact vendor about outstanding check
◯ Check has cleared the vendor's bankOr you might have a list of book chapters that you want to check off as you…

Automatic linking of thoughts (in notes) option
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).

Ability to set basic paragraph formatting in notes
Notes can seem cluttered and run-together with single line spacing. I often manually, or now using Cerebro, add blank lines between tabbed or bulleted lines for more clarity and ease of reading. Enabling some basic paragraph formatting would save a good bit of time and trouble.

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.

Make it easier to transfer a thought from one parent to another

Filter a view that would show only pending to do items.
Filter a view to show all pending (or checked) to-do items. Currently, the right-panel tells me how many pending to dos there are, but then shows all items, pending and checked. I'd like to see only pending. Or, I'd like to see only checked.

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 -
Advanced search - find thoughts that have the same relationships with "n" number of other thoughts
Implement an "Advanced Search" button/capability where more than one thoughts (or fragments of thought names) can be specified. Example:
The Adv Srch form would open with one entry: a search box for entry of text, a dropdown button labeled "relationship" with values of parent|child|jump, and a button with a + to add an additional search entry line. Any number of search entry lines could be added. The default would be "all" logic in that the search would return all thoughts for which all the search entries are true. Perhaps an "any" option could/should be included.7 votes -
Do more with the thought appearances.
Hi,
Being a veteran mindmap builder I like to put lots of colours in my brains. Especially the text colours of thoughts I like to differentiate a lot (as well as the background colours).
A couple of things bother me on that level:
First: The labels can't have the colour of the thought (...or a different colour)
Second: In the notes area of a thought, it's name and label are not inheriting the allocated colours of the thought text.This would greatly enhance the unity feeling of the whole. You can choose for hero icons in the note but it…

Copy and pasting PNG icons
I have several icons that are a PNG image with a transparent background. When I select the thought with the icon and copy it and paste this icon into another thought, the transparency is lost.

additional integration of the free version of the Mistral-Vibe AI (fast) Chat-Software, GDPR-compliant
We need and use alternatives to ChatGPT and Anthropic (BigTech models) in Europe, which is why I suggest integrating Mistral-Vibe with TheBrain.
https://mistral.ai/products/vibe/
The French product Mistral-Vibe is GDPR-compliant and offers a wide range of user features even in the free version (custom agents, reminder function, connectors, libraries, etc.) for organizing projects in Mistral. This approach seems to align very well with TheBrain.
It is likely slightly inferior to ChatGPT and Anthropic in terms of model performance. However, for the average user, the functionality is more than sufficient and satisfying, and it is one of the fastest AI chat programs…7 votes -
Local AI option PER brain
I use TheBrain for work and at home on the same laptop. We are allowed to also use our business laptop for private aspects.
In this scenario I want to be able to use e.g. ChatGPT for my private brain, however for my work brain I have to truly make sure, I will only use local AI endpoints.
Thus, for me it would be a real advantage to define the local AI use on a "per Brain" level. Ideally I would have a switch per Brain like [Cloud AI] / [Local AI] / [No AI]

Save webpage (reader view) to pdf via Quick Thoughts
I've been using Evernote to save important articles from the web. TB will let you save links easily but they also risk getting deleted/broken.
In order to fully utilize TB as a information hub of your collected materials, you should be able to save dynamic web pages to 'snap shot' knowledge.
The newly Quick thoughts function should just have an option of saving link or content.

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.
