Feature Requests

Design a mechanism that allows to specify when a task is due, as opposed to when a task is scheduled to be done. Example: Mika's birthday is on July 1st. On that day I want to show up on Mika's doorstep with a present. The due date for getting that present is July 1st. But the do date might be February 3rd or June 29th, because that's when I have time to get the present. Edit: A better name for this feature might be Deadlines (see comments below). Edit: Consider adding a separate backlink item for "due soon..." items that shows them x days before the due date. How are other apps dealing with this? Edit: Consider using !date syntax for deadlines/due dates.

It would be helpful to have either a static note Table of Contents (TOC) displayed in a sidebar or to be able to dynamically generate it with a /TOC command within a note.

A recent change in NotePlan permits use of AI to update Property structures. I think that the following are all true: The need to update property structures for notes of the same “kind” will inevitably arise. For example, after creating 30 notes with Property Set “Books Version 1” a need to add a new property will be identified with book 31. Then another new requirement will be identified with book 43, and still another with book 75. A proliferation of structures for the same basic “kinds” of information will create confusion and interfere with the efficiency of Eduard’s planned table views. Updating dozens of notes, one at a time, with new structure will be painful. Recommendation: a. NotePlan employ “named property sets” - each with a version number. Examples: “books”, “projects”, “clients”, “delivery orders”, “bug reports”, “feature requests”, “bird sightings”, etc. b. When a structural change to a “named property set” is made, all notes employing that property set should be updated - perhaps by using AI to do so. The version number should also be updated.

Add notes and/or folders to favorites for quickly access them.

It would be nice if there was an option to format the selected lines in a text into a quote. The same way that can already done for other formatting (bold, italic, inline code, etc)

Currently if a code block contains long line, it gets wrapped to a new one, what makes code harder to read. I would be great to be able to change this behavior with a css style or something, so that the linens would not wrap in read mode - and would be scrollable horizontally.

Since we already have kanban, properties, and options for grouping, sorting, and field visibility, it would be great if we also could save different views for the same folder. Something similar to Notion, Linear. I’d also love the ability to favorite saved views for quick access, ideally in the sidebar with custom icons.

When clicking a(n external) link, it opens in the browser. This is the expected behavior. However, I am unable to place the editing cursor into the link text to edit it. Maybe holding a modifier key could help make editing links more straight forward.

Currently, NotePlan can sync timeblocks to a calendar of your choosing (awesome!) but changes to those timeblocks from a calendar app do not sync back to NotePlan. It would be helpful to have a two-way sync so that timeblock changes made within a calendar app to the start time or duration of a timeblock would reflect back in NotePlan.
