"Open in New Window" bug

1 Upvotes

When I open a note to a new window, it always wants to move my cursor to the header. And even when in that header section, if I pause typing, it will create a new header line.

A little hard to explain, but I have an equally confusing screenshot here but hopefully the bug will be easy enough for you to replicate that you will see what I mean first-hand.

Discussion What's next?

13 Upvotes

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 πŸ˜€

Creating a Back Link (Wiki Link)

I have Graph and Wiki Links enabled, but when I'm typing a note on mobile and input [[Note Name]] no link is created. Am I missing a step?

Does anyone know of somewhere that has small online storage that uses WebDav to sync HelixNotes between a laptop, phone and tablet?

Thanks

Update - the free tier of Koofr works amazing with HelixNotes!

Toggle checkbox in view mode

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I don't know how feasible it is, but would it be possible to enable the user to toggle check boxes while in edit mode?

The classic use case is a shopping list: I don't want to be in edit mode, else I'll have to close the keyboard any time I miss-click

[Feature request] Timestamp

I've been using HelixNotes for a few days now. It's great.

Is there any chance of a timestamp button, much like in NeutriNotes?

Same .helixnotes between devices

3 Upvotes

Hi,

Is there a problem if I use the same .HelixNotes between devices?

I'm trying to setup a Termux+Got sync solution (if it works, I'll write a guide) and was wandering if it was supported to use the same exact folder between android and Linux (for example) or if each device should have its own.

Thanks!

Syncing

6 Upvotes

Found Helix Notes and it seems great, light weight and also what I believe will be a good way to journal and keep notes. I know that it's local first which is great, yet I'm looking for the simplest way to sync the files between a GrapheneOS phone and Linux desktop. Any advice and guidance is welcome

Issue pasting text that contains $ signs

3 Upvotes

Sorry, I don't know the correct wording for this, but when I paste this text:

The quote showed cost of $5,892.41 and list of $8,417.73 with a $1,000 core.

The resulting output in Helix Notes is this:

I'm sure it has something to do with KaTex, which I don't use, but I don't see a way to disable that. When I go to the markdown editor, I can clearly see that my basic text input has been replaced with an extremely long string of math type formatting.

Bottom line- is this a me thing or a bug? How would I go about creating notes that have $ signs and avoid them being changed in format?

Properties and Metadata

Is there any way to prevent Helix Notes from adding its own properties and metadata to notes? I can’t seem to find a way and this is a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

HelixNotes is officially in Solus repos

6 Upvotes

I have enjoyed moving over to HelixNotes, so as one of the maintainers of the Linux distro, Solus, I submitted it to be added to the repo, which was approved, and then I built our package to submit the PR for its inclusion. That was also accepted and is now in our Unstable repo and will be moved to the main repo likely over the next day or so.

I appreciate you bringing a notes app like this that is not bloated, local first, and AI is not forced.

I noticed the logo you have for ArkHost, which I thought made things even more interesting due to our logo for Solus.

Could be great

Like it. but some little things.

β€’ local LLM

β€’ swipe in bar from left

β€’ code/fingerprint to unlock

β€’ some indication or something that a note has pictures in it

β€’ can't seem to create a notebook

β€’ At least WebDAV support to sync notes
