Panda Sneak Peek: A Work-in-Progress Markdown Editor and Library 🐼

Will panda have themes and if yes, will they be the same like in bear?

Apple is making it harder and harder to have custom-themed native apps, so most likely Panda will not have themes like Bear, we might introduce some kind of editor customization in terms of colors.

@krssno

The notes/files in the tree have different icons. Do they stand for different file formats?

Yes, we’ll try to have a bunch of different icons for the most common file types.

@krssno

Does the search field in the left filter the folder-file-tree or does it apply search on the open note/file?

It’ll search inside every file in your whole library.

@krssno

What does the icon in the left sidebar beside of the “new file/note” icon mean?

That will contain a menu with some sidebar and workspace options (visualization, management, etc…)

@krssno

The menu bar contains the standard icons.

That’s by design, we’re trying to make Panda fully blend into macOS, and we want the UI to be as intuitive as possible and out of the way.

@krssno

Therefore having tag cons like in bear would help creating a meaningful tree

This is not on our list, but it’s an interesting idea.

@krssno

It should be possible to create a new note/file on the fly without bothering in which folder to store the note but to catch that up at a later and more suitable date.

There is Bear for that
