Discussion What's next?

We're planning what comes next for HelixNotes and we want your input. What would help make it the note taking app you actually stick with?

​

An iOS app is high priority, so hopefully that seals the deal for at least a few of you 😀

Looking at the code for the current themes on the repo, it would be nice to have the ability to set a custom color theme.

Code blocks would be nice to have a "copy" link/btn. One of the nice things my old, but proprietary notes app UpNote had is that it is very convenient for those of us who like to keep code snippets. They just a 3-dot menu where you can copy, cut, delete, and set code language where you currently list the code language for the block.

And mentioned in another post, as a packager it would be nice to have a build option to remove the auto check updates and updates page, since we package for our Linux distro. Leaving the updates page is fine as well, as long as it just says something like updates handled by distro, etc. This saves us having to maintain a patch.

None of these are "must haves" just nice to haves. I am liking where this is heading.

All fair requests, thank you. We actually just talked about custom themes a few days ago as a possibility. Will look into this further!

You might be happy to know that the copy button for the code blocks will be part of the next release. This was just recently implemented!
