Add shortcuts for:

• Links
• Images
• Tables (needs a special table builder dialog)

Hi,

is it possible to add an option to export each note to a separate .md file and a whole notebook to a set of .md files (perhaps zipped) for use in another markdown editor?

Add an option in settings to hide the creation and modification dates by default, which are shown below each note.

Hi,
I wanted to use my local instance of Nextcloud, but this app does not allow to use server without https.

I know that I should make use of https even in hone server instance without access from outside network, but support for http servers will be great.

The markdown editor recognises hyphen '-' as bullet point. But after creating one bullet point and press enter it does not create the next bullet point automatically. It would have been nice if this feature could be implemented.

I created a voice note to test the app, then deleted it. Now when I put down a phone call , the voive note plays automatically.
To make sure its not device specific, I made my friend test the same and he faced the same bug.
We both using android 11.

Many Markdowns doesn't exist.
Especially, for making task list. I'm aware that there's an option to do task lists but it's not convenient.
Lemme explain.
Basically, what the task list option does is this:

Title.

• Note 1
• Note 2
• and so on..

But, my user case is something like this:.

Title.

sub-title + to-do:

• something note 1
• something note 2
• and so on and so forth...

another sub-title under same category or similar:

• Note 1
• now 2
• and so on...

In the grid view, notes that are large tables, the entire note gets displayed. Instead of shortening notes for the grid view like other note types of notes, entire tables get displayed which creates unnecessarily massive tiles in the grid view. It would be awesome if at the main page view, table notes got cropped so that table notes have sensible sized tiles.

Would be nice to be able to sync notes to the local filesystem, for purposes of syncing them with things like syncthing or kde connect.

Up & down shortcuts should move the cursor to next/previous line and not scroll all the way to the top or bottom. New shortcuts for scroll to top/bottom can be introduced.

I was going to ask for PDF too but someone already beat me to it so I hope we see support for both PDF and txt formats soon.

I use a Oneplus 8 pro and when I try to create a backup, load an attachment or restore. Basicly everything that has to have storage permission the app crashes.

When I took a look at the permissions the app has gotten the only alternative is for the mic and nothing else is even showing up.

So the root to the problem is probably the app never asking for storage permission and because it never ask that and think it has it the app crashes.

This is probably an easy fix and a needed one, because beside this issue, it is the best note app with functions that no other note app that I have found has atleast that is open source.

It would have been nice if you could add Solarized color theme to QuillNote. It could be used to show markdown syntax in different colors. Like if the pipe character for creating tables are shown in a different color than normal text it become easier to distinguish and enter data, same can be done with other syntax. It would be really helpful if you could implement this function.

It would be great to be able to this backend:

Example:
notebook1 is about good-software
notebook2 is about bad-software
and note1 is about types of software which i'd like to include in both notebooks

:D

Please add a notebook called "other" (or something similar), which contains all the files that are not assigned to a notebook.

Use a floating button instead of a toolbar icon in the notebooks and tags lists to create a new item.

Is it possible to add Table of contents for notes based on their headings.

Like # Heading 1 will not be considered for table of contents. But ## Heading 2 and onward will be considered for table of content, ### Heading 3 will be the sub table of content of ## Heading 2.

1. Pressed + to create a note
2. Converted to list via menu
3. Entered a title and some list items and pressed Back (hardware button, if it matters)

Result: the new note got shown first (sorted descending by creation date), but the preview was empty, except for a single checkbox.

The actual preview was created only after reopening the note and pressing back again.

I also see that the animations used in the app are very costly and seem to be sluggisch quite often. Perhaps this could be optimized or optionally disabled for older devices?

From timestamps discussion in #2:

Is a timezone really necessary? I imagine it could even work against the user, e.g. with daylight saving (resulting in a notification that's an hour early/late). If a user sets a notification for some day at some time, wouldn't they always mean it to be "in the current timezone I'm in"?

A notification could also be for something independent of your local time, like an online event. So I have this idea, you could choose the timezone when creating a reminder. It could be just “Local timezone” by default or you could choose any other timezone. If you’ve chosen another timezone, it should also show your local time. For example, “Notification name — 7 July 2021, 2:00 (6 July 2021, 23:00 UTC)”, or without the date, if it’s the same.

I’m not sure if the daylight saving problem still persists this way, but timezones don’t have to be in UTC+X format, they could also be like Europe/London, which should take daylight saving into account.

Timezone abbreviations should also be supported, they’re widely used, so you wouldn’t have to search what timezone is some abbreviation for this way.

The second space when setting a reminder is too small.

Hi, since my local Nextcloud instance is unencrypted, I can't connect Quillnote to my local Nextcloud instance. Please, can you lift this requirement?

Hello. This is a beautiful app, and I thank you for making it.

I have one suggestion. It would be excellent if Quillnoteb saved its files in a user chosen accessible directory, rather than in an internal user inaccessible directory.

That way, I can sync the folder and all the .md files inside it to my PC using Resilio Sync or Syncthing, and I can continue editing there.

The problem as Quillnote is designed right now, is that I have to export the files from Quillnote every time I want to sync them to my PC.

Another important reason for this approach is data portability, so that we are not locked in to any specific app in the future.

For an example of an app that works like this, please see Noteless (especially in Dendron mode):

https://github.com/redsolver/noteless

So in summary:

1. all notes should be preferably saved in one single directory (or subdirectories of the base directory).
2. the user should choose the directory.
3. all files should be in open formats such as txt or md

Please let me know what you think of this idea!

Thank you again for your work on this app.

Or give an option for it in the Settings menu.

Basically a list you can indent indefinitely, and preferably has a way of "zooming into" a section of it.
I was thinking it could be a part of the existing list editor, with controls added at the bottom of the screen for indenting, dedenting and moving nodes, or exist as a completely different editor.

The Nextcloud Notes app has a wonderful feature that allows you to append to an existing note by sharing from any app. I actually use this considerably more often than creating a new note via share.

Would you consider implementing such a feature?

I tried downloading from FDroid, but the installation failed.

I tried downloading from Aurora store, but Play Protect gives a warning.

I ignore the warning and still install, but then I get this error and can't run it.

I then uninstall the previous version and try to again install the new version. Still blocked by Google Play Protect.

Using v1.2.0 on Android 11 (Pixel 4a).

To reproduce:

• kill app from background if it's opened, then open it again.
• press plus button to create a new note. Keyboard appears
• press Android back button to hide keyboard, then back again to main page
• Create a new note again. Keyboard is not shown.

However, keyboard is shown after going back to the launcher, then come back to app again.

It would be great if notebooks can be locked with a pin or fingerprint.

Instead of having a text note, list note, image note and audio note, just make one type of note and let users create lists, attach files and record audio.

This is already possible, except for the lists. Once lists has been added, the different types of notes can be deleted. The + button should them instantly create a new note and the bottom bar should be removed completely.

Add widgets similar to Nextcloud Notes.
For your reference, here's the link.

Is there a way to import an existing Markdown notebook?

Currently Nextcloud Notes plugin does not support many of Quillnote's features. We should give the user the option to store them as JSON files in Nextcloud Drive/Files instead of using the Notes API. This way, users can sync notes that take advantage of all of Quillnote's features.

Protect synced notes with end-to-end encryption a la Joplin.

Alphabetical order seems better to me.

(Wouldn't mind if you added an option to sort notebooks in the Settings menu to keep everyone happy.)

App Version: 1.3.0

That 'Offline account, Currently not syncing' notif that's shown at the top of the sidebar spoils the look of the app. Everything gets pushed down because of it. Moving it to the bottom of the sidebar would be better.

App Version: 1.3.0

Note colours could be more solid (opaque). They look washed out in the app. I've got a phone with a properly functioning amoled screen so it's not a device issue.

App Version: 1.3.0

Make it possible to export a note to pdf.

Synchronization with WebDAV would be possible?

There are many clouds that allow WebDAV such as Nextcloud, ownCloud, FileRun, seafile, Box.com, Yamdex, ... Also, it is very easy to set up a simple and lightweight WebDAV server with docker.

Thank you very much and Great application. Congratulations

It would be nice if you add encryption in backup file and can be decrypted with pin/password.

Deleting entire notes from a notebook doesn't actually remove notebook unless you reset the app when synced. There's no extra option to delete the notebook explicitly either.

I see that the animations used in the app are very costly and seem to be sluggisch quite often. Perhaps this could be optimized or optionally disabled for older devices?

Currently the tables tries to fit into the screen, which is okay when cells have short text or numbers. But when long texts are added it looks so uncomfortable. One solution is to add Horizontally scrollable table.

For example, I’d like to sort notes by title in some notebooks, but by date modified in All Notes, so being able to set different sort methods would be helpful.

It could also have a “Default” method that would depend on the method set in Settings, but I’m not sure if it’s needed, it could just remember the last chosen methods

You can use language definitions from GtkSourceView. They are xml files that describe how to highlight the syntax for a language. They can be found in the /usr/share/gtksourceview-4/language-specs/ directory in a typical Linux system with GNOME.
