Here is a list of things I hope will make it to the first version.
The same settings as in Bear: General, Typography, Themes
A Quick Open lilke fuzzy search feature: One key stroke (Cmd + T for example), one search palette, fuzzy-searches across all files in the side bar with weighted results on titles, tags, folder names, etc
Tags for both searching and the sidebar (index of tags for all folders added to the sidebar)
Backlinks—wiki style links across documents; both relative and absolute path
Smart folders
The closest this is to Bear but with the ability to create its documents database by adding folders to the sidebar instead of having one hidden one, the better!
Amen. Having a system-wide search across all the text files would be the holy grail, because there are so many other apps that let you point to a folder of text files, but they will not search amongst all of them.
There’s certainly nothing I’d like to see more than tags. However, displaying them in the sidebar below the files/folders section doesn’t make sense within Lettera’s design for several reasons. I think a different UI approach would be needed. I’d rather see tags used to filter the existing file tree.
This allows for a more flexible and powerful approach in my opinion. In addition, the file-based view would remain the focus of attention.
As one of the devs already stated, wikilinks are most likely to come. Backlinks, on the other hand, are visible in the old screenshots in the sneak peek preview for Panda. At least they weren’t excluded from the start.
