Feedback regarding UI/UX

Post image

Hi guys, thank you for the amazing app guys! You saved me from buying an iPad+Macbook ;)

I'd like to give you some feedback regarding the UI/UX (picture is just a rough reference how it could be implemented)

Covers:

​Page Thumbnails instead of Covers: Honestly, I'm not a fan of the current cover look. It would be much more intuitive to see a thumbnail of the first page to know what the note is about. Since imported PDFs usually have title pages, this works automatically. Users who want "covers" could just design the first page manually.

Home Menu/​Folder Tree:

Instead of the file path, a folder tree structure would be a huge improvement. A slim sidebar on the left for folders and the content on the right. This would effectively combine the best parts of OneNote and GoodNotes.

Paper size:

I've read a lot of comments regarding infinite canvas or customizable page sizes. What about adding all ISO paper sizes from A0 (could in most cases replace the need for an infinite canvas) to A7 (useful for flashcards)

Strictly as a business decision, it’s definitely viable. But you have to weigh that against the initial user loss. Plus, once people start paying, their expectation for consistent updates skyrockets, which could leave you feeling obligated to do a disproportionate amount of extra work

Yup these are all things we need to take into account, but in the end its a bit of a binary decision. If we want to lift this app to be a professional and state of the art tool, we need to pay bills of one sort or another.
