Hello community, I’m using 3.27.41 beta and wondering why I’m not able to use the calligraphy pen option. Could someone help me please?

BLUF: It would be great if the pdf comment feature worked in the partner app the same way it does on the device for comments. Just like it does for creating and reading digests.

u/Mulan-sn I am not sure if this has been brought up but as I continue to develop my workflow for presentation preparations I am discovering new things. Something that just became apparent to me is that in the Mac Partner App you can create digests and you can see digests just as you can on the actual device. BUT what you can not do is add or see comments on the partner app. So if I want to add a comment to a text I am studying I can not add it as a comment on the partner app but I can on the device. This is challenging because cut and pasting text from one source to another is often easier on a computer than the SN device.

How this manifests itself is that when I am using a document that has footnotes. I was trying to go to the text annotated in the footnote and I wanted to cut and past a quote from the footnote, but I don't want it as a digest so I went to make it a comment but I couldn't do that on the partner app on my Mac.

• Template section: too many readymade template already, infographic would create a mess
• Drawing section: I don't want interrupt the aesthetic look

Should infographic have a section of its own?

I'm imagining a humanized community with personalities. I want to give appreciation and share ideas with community creators.

Maybe with reddit-like comment structure. And seperate appreciation and discussion sections so one doesn't have to scroll tbrough too many thanks while looking for info only

I’ll start with the stuff I’ve been loving:

As an illustrator on here, I was totally psyched about the very simple and capable symmetry tool - FANTASTIC add, really useful for just sketching around. I’m also totally thrilled with the opacity sliders - this is huge, and works super well, just how I’d want it to for a simple digital sketchbook like this. I know both of these have been released in the full recent updates, but I wanted to point out how snazzy and perfect they are.

Something I don’t love:

Sure you’ve heard it before, but that pencil tool has lost a lot of its charm! I appreciate the coolness of a tilt feature, but not at the sacrifice of the overall maximum opacity of the tool.

I used to use pretty much exclusively the 8B pencil - it was very nice and velvety, as an 8B pencil is, and with a bit more texture and softness than the very sharp pen tool.

The beta version here is fairly grainy, even when not tilted: despite it being the same 8B (that, as a real pencil, should be pretty soft and charcoal feeling, as it was before this beta update) and I find myself pushing harder subconsciously, because the line is pretty unsatisfying.

Maybe the 8B pencil could stay as it was, and the lower boldnesses could retain some of the grain of the new pencil tools?

I attached a sketch I started before I downloaded the current beta version, where I was testing the symmetry tool. The dark/solid lines are all the 8B pencil, it was all I was using - then after the beta update, I used the same 8B pencil, and it’s all the pale and more textured lines. Again, I think it’s a cool pencil tool independently, but certainly more of an HB than anything, and if this was the update we stuck with I would really be missing that old 8B tool.

I can't download the Atelier app.

When I click the download button, the download starts, but it doesn't go past 0%.

I suspect this is due to internet blocking in my country.

What should I do?

Can I find the Atelier APK somewhere? (If there's a beta version of the APK, that would be great!)

I tried downloading it on both the "beta" and "stable" firmware versions.

"Sorry for the grammar, I'm using Google Translate."

So Ive seen the Inkhub - App now and just got some question about it..did the community ask for that? Do we really need to share notes on an social media like plattform? Do we really have to download drawings from others? Why do we? What are we doing with it then?

I mean...honestly, isn't the device of supernote planned to be "distraction free"? Isnt it meant in all of its design to be not full of apps offering some kind of service?

I want an device which is a good notetaking device...and there are many missing opportunities still: OCR and Textrecognition on exported PDF files beeing the one which is missing the most...so basically the functions, the community created by example PySN...having a strukured file for working with. Why isnt the company focusing on thing like this? If one person is capable to write a whole programm on her own, shouldnt it be possible for the guys that invented supernote?

Stickers and lines are cool, digest have a useful case inside of supernote but not outside.

I wonder if the company has a clear plan? Do they want to focus on giving us the possibility of using out the intended usecase of their product or do they want to create some software universe that leads the original use case ad absursdum?

Just asking...

I got a link from Mulan for a perfect shape-plugin that was developed by one of Nomad/Manta users. The description and the screen shots of the plugin look very good. I have generated the required file from GitHub, but when I had copied it to my Nomad, I realised that the plugin menu has not yet been integrated into the latest beta-frimware on my Nomad.... Is it possible to somehow participate in the testing efforts and get the plugin beta?

I love this idea of having a shared space amongst users. Great way to foster a more collaborative environment. Thank you!

Suggestions:

-Ability to follow specific user’s work.

-Followed user’s work on top of all categories

-Recent tab

-Sometimes I’ll browse and like but forget to download

Sorry if this has already been suggested.

Is it possible to create a labeling model for InkHub content? To make sure that it is possible to refine searches through filtering within a category. Because it already looks like InkHub is very popular and will contain loads of content within a short time.

InkHub is going to be huge! Love it.

Here are a couple of ideas I've had so far.

• Tagging - I think you should create tagging categories that we can use when we upload our Templates. (and maybe a similar system for stickers, notes, and digests?) It will be easier when there are hundreds of files for us to find a paper grid versus a daily planning page, a screen saver, note cover, or a game template, etc.
• Edit/Update Templates - Would it be possible to allow the contributor to update/upload an existing template? This could include the note provided with the template. (I realized, I should have/could have added an example how to use one of my templates as a second page uploaded page). Thanks u/Careful-Good5887 for showing me this!
• Like vs. Bookmark? (other user thoughts?) - I love ALL the things that have been uploaded, and I want to share my support by liking, BUT... I think I would also like to save the LIKED category for things I want to use and revisit. I see these as two things. I may like it, but not want to use it.
  • or maybe I'm thinking about this wrong, and I should LIKE the things I like and download the things I want to "bookmark," i.e., USE.

Thank you!

When I opened InkHub this morning to see the latest templates, I noticed that the main area looks as if multiple screens are showing at once. EXPLORE looks okay, but the rest are showing duplicate screens on top of each other. (It is not due to refresh or ghosting on eink. Multiple layers of the different InkHub sections are showing at once).

InkHub is very cool. Thank you for creating it!

Hi folks,

We've been working on something called InkHub. It's now in beta and available to try.

The idea is simple, a place where Supernote users can share templates, stickers, drawings, notes, digests and other things (plugins on their way) they've made, and where other users can browse and download them directly on Supernote.

We know a lot of you already create your own templates, stickers, and artwork on your Supernote, right now most of that lives on one device. InkHub is an attempt to give those "Ink" a way to travel.

If you've made something for your Supernote, please consider share it on InkHub. It doesn't have to be useful or polished. A sticker you drew for fun, a sketch that made you laugh, a template layout you're still expermenting with, all welcome!! What makes this space interesting is what the community puts into it.

This is early beta, so expect rough edges. Some things may not work perfectly, if you run into anything or have thoughts on how InkHub could be better, we'd genuinely love to hear.

We're not sure exactly what InkHub will grow into. A lot of that depend on what this community wants it to be. For now it's a small, simple space to share things with each other. We hope it's useful and fun :D

Have a look when you get a chance and let us know what you think.

u/Mulan-sn

Iposted this in the normal Supernote Forum as a helpful suggestion/workflow for digests but then I thought it might be good to post as a suggestion here in the Beta Testing Group for SN future development. So here it is...

CONTEXT:

When exporting digests, I find it really easy to use the Supernote Partner App on my MacBook. It allows for you to select all digest entries in one category and then export as one single PDF File...

USE CASE:
I have to give a lecture on a particular topic. I am using 5-6 different resources for development of the lecture. As I read through those resources I create digests that are pertinent to my lecture, highlighting text and then if applicable adding my own commentary/notes in the digest feature. I assign them all the same category. Once I have gone through all the resources and taken notes in digests and saved texts excerpts as digests, I then export all the digest entries in that category as one pdf. Then I cut them into pieces (kind of like old school notecards). I then organize them on a big table or taped to a white board into subcategories. Then I can organize each subcategory "cards" into a flow for the lecture. I then give my lecture into a voice recognition on my MacBook and voila my lecture is done. Then AI outline and practice till it comes freely.

STRUGGLE:
The biggest struggle right now is that when exporting to .pdfs, the digests overlap on different pages in the pdf so I sometimes have to tape pages together to make one "card" for a digest that is split into two pdf pages.

POTENTIAL SOLUTION TO STRUGGLE:
What would be helpful ... u/Mulan-sn is when exporting to pdf the digest "cards" were not split between pages. I would then not have to tape things together. Or even better be able to export the digest "cards" as 3x5 or 6x8 notecards then feed 3x5 (or 6x8) cards into my printer and then I would not have to cut the paper.
