[RFE] Roadmap file: backlinks, hashtag and other outliner like features

[hgkamath]

• Perhaps you should keep a ROADMAP file which indicates what features you intend to add or stay away from.
• Also a CHANGELOG file , so that users can know what is changing one version to another as a cumulative record.
• A roadmap files lets potential users know you intend to develop in a certain direction, and it may obviate the need for users and potential users alike from filing a whole bunch of RFE issues.
• In that roadmap file include maybe the following goals, or state as an explicit non-goal
• Some usual desired features in a note-taking tool
  • Backlinks: automatically causes bank-link collection on automatically made hashtag
  • Search bar that searches on keywords and hashtags, with advanced search specifiers
  • indented style wheerin each indent is a subblock
  • block level granularity of links
  • hashtag based, link based note system, hierarchy optional (imho hierarchy not useful)
  • katex math notation, mermaid diagrams, embedded images/svg, etc
  • tables
  • structured properties
  • query-language/querying: say datalog, that can query on structured properties
  • user-scripting: say sci (small clojure interpreter)
  • plugin system
  • ical calendar synchronization
  • integration with citation tool like zotero
  • ability to make a manifest file for pdf export, or revealjs presentation export
• I mostly have logseq in mind when I list the above.
• ps. if you make youtube tutorial videos on how you use AI to make thinknote, perhaps it may empower many to make custom note-taking tools to their own taste. Every note-taker will have their own idea of what their note-taking tool should do, that available note taking tools don't fulfill. ... or they perhaps join you and assist.

Hi, thanks for the detailed post, I'll try to answer everything.

1. Backlinks are already implemented, can't remember if it was shipped with the initial release, but you can use [[NOTENAME]] to link a note
2. Search bar is already implemented, both inside the note and for the whole app (Ctrl + Shift + F to search notes/notebooks and Ctrl + F inside a note to search for words)
3. We have a little bit of markdown already, mostly different title sizes, bold, italic, etc
4. Hashtag based could be useful, I'll see how I can implement something like that
5. Katex math notation, mermaid diagrams, and embedded images are not planned
6. Tables are not planned
7. Structured properties are not planned
8. Query not planned
9. User-scripting not planned
10. Plugin system not planned
11. iCal is planned, but I need to learn how to make it simple
12. Zotero integration not planned, but the chrome extension already has a way to save directly from the browser
13. Exporting is already implemented, but I want it to be simple (just export your notes and nothing more)

I plan to keep the app as simple as possible, because, well, I'm basically the only one that uses the app (as far as I know), there are basically 0 users right now.

A plugin system is extremely complicated for something that I'll never use, the same with all the not planned features.

A new release will be available soon, which will be a big one (a polished a lot of the app and refactored most of the screens), but at the end, the app is mostly just a way to create simple notes :)
