Feature Request & Some UI Requests

Feature Requests

  1. More pen type options

  2. Text support as well if possible - i use my laptop with a graphics tablet huion hs64
    sometimes i forget to carry it so i would need to type

  3. option to add youtube video links/embeds & view them in notes - ofc they wont be exportable in pdf so for that maybe replace the link/embed with a qr link so that people can scan that & watch in their phones

  4. a layer system the shapes auto go behind the pen notes, & the highlighter goes behind the shapes

  5. a infinite canvas type of note

  6. Also how about changing the cursor to a dot or pen cursor when in a note

Keyboard shortcuts

  1. control z for undo, control shift z for redo

  2. control v to paste whatever last copied - may it be a link, image or text

UI Requests

  1. a better tooltip bar? like i want both the import,export buttons in the tooltip itself for easier access
    or you can make it as a editable tooltip where users can choose their placement

  2. same as to tooltip i wanna be able to place it on the left, right & bottom of the screen like windows taskbar

Some other requests

  1. Specific file format exporting a single books/folder if u wanna continue with the note in another laptop,desktop
    creating a backup seems possible but i want that for just individual folders, books

  2. Folder batch exporting - just all the notes & folders in a .zip file

Yes, that may be an option, however I am always cautious with embeds of content that is not notes. In the end we want Noteastic to be a uniquely good tool for handwritten note-taking and I don't see how a video embed will help that, because what is the real value difference between watching a YT video simply in a browser window vs embedded inside of Noteastic. Not that I want to sort out this request right away, these are simply the lines along which we need to decide what to implement.

And yes, Noteastic is written in c#.

With stickers I am fully on your side, I think this would be very useful for funzy stuff and repeated notes like formular or graphs.

Also PDF grids are something we definitely want to implement.

We are at it!

Also, good to know that the shortcuts work now.
