  2. I have been testing out Cerebro on 15.0.86, and I do believe it is truly a game-changer. The regular brain AI is much less sophisticated and I have found it of limited use. Cerebro, on the other hand, will become a core part of my organizational routine especially as it gets better at searching (finding all relevant thoughts rather than a limited number, etc.).

  3. working with AI in the note section: when I customize a prompt I get an output however my prompt is invisible. For later actions I would like to remember how I formulated my prompt. So it would be of great help if the output would start with repeating my prompt.

  4. I already made a comment on another post but I thought it would maybe be also worth as a own post.

    It seems to me that TheBrain project seems to focus on utility and beeing an organize your tasks and thoughts project, because it can not really compete with normal AI as a knowledgebase and it shouldn't. But I think there could be an awesome way for the future to share your thoughts with others:

    I was interested in making my own AI and it is quite a hard task if you have some unconventional view on something, but in…

  5. When I export .PDF or .HTML the little todo square list items - do not show up for print - missing both in .PDF and .HTML-

    but I wondered why not CTRL (CMD) + P just the selected text directly from the content - the only work arround seems to screen capture and then print - but my "system 1" wants to save seconds in a busy moment before a meeting

  6. I would like to have the option to split the notes and attachments sections into two separate windows. Often, when taking notes, you have to juggle between the web browser (to open attachments externally) and the Brain. With this setup, you could stay entirely within Brain and continue taking notes without switching context.
    I could even imagine having the attachments section overlay or replace the Plex side panel, allowing full-length display of the attachment while taking notes—all within the same application.

    I believe this would improve the workflow.

  8. 看到這麼多人對TheBrain的AI功能提出建議真是有趣!我特別喜歡那個關於整合Mermaid圖表的點子,如果能直接在筆記裡畫流程圖就太方便了。最近正好在找https://mermaidviewer.com/ ,要是TheBrain能內建這個功能,我就不用在不同工具間切換了。希望開發團隊能考慮這個建議,這對視覺化思考的人來說會是很大的幫助!

  9. When brainstorming using the Outline view, the order of the thoughts should be able to be done graphically on the screen using the mouse. This is needed to enable prioritizing ideas. Also thoughts should be able to be elevated or demoted using the mouse.

  10. 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…

  11. I love the copy local / web thought URL. However, I would like to extend the capability in this direction a bit further.

    I would like to be able to connect thoughts between two or more brains so that they remain in sync with the following functionality:

    • Sync this thought with another brain bi-directionally (latest version sync whichever thought holds last edited version or content)
    • Sync this thought with another brain uni-directionally (the identical thought in the other brain always acts as a backup)
      • For backup mode, define a number of copies of changed content within the thought
    • Be able…

  14. Able to copy and then paste a color style format that has been implemented on to text and its background.

    I often highlight certain phrases with a specific color, like a highlighter.

    I would like to be able to copy the font color and font background color format, then paste it to other text.

    Ideally, the text formatting should also be saved as a preference that can be implemented on any text.

  15. There are times when TheBrain is working on a task and its unclear if its working, or not, or if its crashed/stuck (see other feedback I sent). Would be nice to have an indicator that lets the user know TheBrain is active.

  16. I Started a new brain of my hard drive data. I create a thought, then drag & drop the contents of a directory from my computer into the thought. TheBrain crashes multiple times an hour as I do this. Seems to be pretty basic functionality, shouldn't be so buggy.

  17. I wish all the work I put up and all the great results I can achieve with TheBrain could be exported in some more meaningful (presentational, interoperable) formats.

    I am thinking of things like OPML, multi-thought PDFs including image references to the plex, visuals of the Plex – also local areals, and more linear ones like mind-/concept maps), ways to have slides as output etc.

    I am sure others will have some more ideas.

    But I feel the current set of export options of TheBrain makes it a very "mute" endpoint of knowledge processes in a lot of scenarios.

  18. I really love the "wander"-function. And I think TB was also leading the field here, in terms of identifying the critical role of serendipity and re-surfacing, which all other PKMs normall identify very late in their product-cycles (if at all).

    This is why I always wished this function would have some more depth, fingrain, and discriminatory abilities – for a somehow 'steered/guided serendipity'.

    What I would hope for:
    • wandering only certain sub-branches of the brain
    • specify criteria for wandering (tags, categories, (fuzzy) search-strings…

    Thx for considering!

  19. The current to-do list is highly underestimated, in my opinion. It should even be renamed or given a kind of “older brother” called a topic or highlight list (or something similar).
    I mainly use the to-do list to “highlight” important sentences/short paragraphs within a (longer) note, and I even use different colors so you can immediately see what the thought is about. If we were able to display only those thoughts that are the result of a search, the to-do list window would become even more powerful. At the moment, ALL “ToDo entries” are displayed, which in my case already…

  20. I've been doing this with chatgpt where I add my extensive notes as training data and explore ideas with the AI in a oral conversational level.

    the AI reminds me on the notes that I've written down but forgot about and the AI helps me compare and add to the ideas that I have

    I'd like to have this feature with TheBrain.
