in the new card deletes the split content permanently.EDIT: I’ve now tried reading Romeo and Juliet in gingko. It felt fast.
Is it even remotely possible to create an extension for the Atom text editor which allows the user to view Markdown content using gingko?
Would it be possible to view the “diff” of changes made by my collaborator showing only the Cards which have been changed and their parents? (just like in Search)
I can’t overstate how cool this is. I love watching the info I’m looking for bubble up to the surface as I type. This is so much better than being forced to jump around to different points in a file. It keeps just the info that you need including parent cards for context and throws away the rest. Awesome. This is definitely the killer feature IMHO.
I get relevant, readable text all over my screen. This is awesome. Most documents only give you text down the middle, because moving your eyeballs across the entire width of your screen is a pain in the ass. And usually if they do try and use up the screen area the content on the side is not text, or it’s text from a different document.
LaTeX test
Awesome! And working with a structured document gives us all the benefits of Markmon style quick-rerendering (for equations in different cards) without having to perform any diffing! (or is markmon used internally?)
It would be nice to be able to add links which would take you to another card. Also, cross-references like in LaTeX. I know mathjax has some ability to do numbered/labeled equations and cross referencing. Is it just a matter of exposing MathJax to the global state instead of just the current card?
This one is obvious. I think it’s even mentioned in the FAQ. I appreciate that it’s hard to do. I recommend looking at the IPython Notebook’s implementation of undo as a good starting point.
I’d like to be able to select and (multiple) entire card(s) for copy and paste. Additionally, having the ability to paste this into my desktop text editor would be pretty groovy.
Why can’t I import markdown/structured json documents from my computer?
Also, how about importing images and stuff via drag n’ drop?
FIXED
!Narrowing down the branches/leaves as I search is awesome, but I should be able to jump around between selected cards/pieces of text easily.
EDIT: A simple workaround is to follow up my Gingko search with a normal browser search, although this does not set Gingko’s focus on the card containing the selected text.
Moving Cards around is clunky, especially if I want to change depth in the tree.
When I drag my cursor anywhere things begin to look funny. Pasting copied content to a text file includes +
signs and signs…
I know this is personal preference, but sometimes I find it hard to tell if the next card in the column is a part of the same parent node. The 1px hline and slightly darker color are usually sufficient, but sometimes I wish my current branch would stand out a little more from the rest of the tree… Honestly though my opinion changes with the room lighting.
<style>
element to any card (like I did with the first card in this tree) and have at it!Aha! I didn’t know about the Ctrl+Shift+Enter feature! That’s exactly what I was looking for.
Additionally it would be nice to hit spacebar
to hop to the next suggested panel, which means:
hasChild() == true
hasChild == false && hasSibling() == true
otherwise
EDIT: learning how to use +
and -
really helps here, but only in edit mode. This should also be available in read only mode.
EDIT2: Now that I’ve paid to try this out for a month the +
and -
features are available in read only mode. :-)
