Intial thoughts

A few more thoughts after a full day of using the app

Today, I spent a lot of time using the web app, copying code snippets, writing meeting notes, and more.

I have to say, the web app is a real game changer! It makes it possible for me to fully transition to Bear for all my notes, though still doing regular backups until a notes history feature is implemented :stuck_out_tongue: Synchronization works incredibly well, even better than device-to-device syncing.

That said, I wanted to share some feedback about the features I missed the most:

  1. Full attachments support (I know you’re already working on this, which is great!)
  2. Shortcuts for BIU (e.g., Ctrl + B for bold, Ctrl + I for italics, etc.)
  3. Tagcons: I find them super helpful for quickly locating tags in the sidebar, and I feel a bit lost without them.
  4. Flash of unstyled content: I often see a flash of another font when opening a note before the correct font is loaded, even after the correct font is hopefully cached.
  5. Themes: Themes can already be tweaked via session storage, so it feels like only the settings section is missing.
  6. Scrollbar styles: Not urgent, but they’re pretty ugly right now. :smile:

So, good job again!
