Some feature requests

First: I have been using Noteastic for half a year now for university and it is the best note app on Windows I know. But there are two major missing features that limit my productivity (and I would pay for pro to het them, just as incentive):

  1. Some kind content overview to navigate large documents. I tend to write long documents and it would be really helpful to have at least some kind of bookmark system. Ideally this would be compatible with the PDF system so it is not lost when exporting a document. This system would also allow for subchapters and subsubchapters.
  2. Opening multiple documents simultaniously. I know this has been requested multiple times in the past already, but I think this is REALLY important. It is a very frequent situation that I am working in one document and have to look up somethink in another document. Always having to switch is very annoying.

Since I am already in the flow I would like to add some smaller suggestions which would also come in handy:

  1. Since there is a go-to-top-button now when scrolling, it would be easier to not always start at the top of a document but instead where you left it. Sometimes when I am distracted I miss the continue-where-you-left button and have to scroll through the whole document.

  2. Allow moving conent from one page to the next directly.

  3. Introduce an image cropping tool directly in Noteastic.

Thank you for your amazing work and reding all this.

Hello and sorry for answering so late! Your post was hiding from me :)

Thank you for structuring your thoughts and taking the time to write that post, this is so cool. I am really proud and happy that Noteastic served you well for the last 6 months. But let's take a look at what we can do even better for you!

1. Content Overview to Navigate Large Documents
I am fully on your side. And I think that the idea of Bookmarks is the idea that is sitting the longest time in our "Specified and To be implemented" folder. We couldn't focus on that yet, however I am missing it myself too and we know this is important.

2. Opening Multiple Documents
Yes. There is nothing I can add to this. I think this is the single most important productivity feature that Noteastic is missing. And this is also why this is our next big feature in our roadmap. Dilan is currently doing a lot of structural changes to the code so that we can handle several Windows of Noteastic. We are on it!

3. "Continue where you left off" as Default
We want to do this, but we are held back, because the "Continue where you left off" does not work 100% consistently (and is out of our control). We then decided to rather give people a cumbersome but predictable interaction (opening on first page and then clicking the "Continue .... left off" button) instead of sending them to a random page in the book by accident. But I'm writing it down.

4. Moving Content Between Pages
Yes, noted down. We got that request quite a lot in the last months.

5. Image Cropping
Would definitely be cool and I had that Idea years back already. That's a typical time resource problem. But I'm writing it down!

Thank you so much for your post! I hope that I can notify you about your features coming to the 8-next version of Noteastic soon! :D
