Voya, great video and I think beinble to add multiple items on the ToDo app is a good call, although I still find it useful. I noticed you didn't talk about the automatic link added in the ToDo list back to the notebook when you use the lasso tool. Did you not see that as valuable? I thought it was cool and explains why to use the lasso instead of just typing. The ToDo could be an individual note if you wanted it to be. Also, If you were adding just one or a few ToDo items throughout several meetings within individual notes, you could revisit those notes from the ToDo app on the device or in either of the partner apps. Just some thoughts.
As soon as the new A5X is out, I'm pouncing on this platform from my current reMarkable2 :) - I'm really looking forward to being able to link between notes/pages.
I blessed to have both the rM2 and A5X (and the A6X2). I love the hyperlinking function. I can say, I don’t use it as much as I thought I would, especially because you cant link everything only a page from one notebook to another. Its great to have but not a deal breaker again the rM2 or at least in today’s limitations.
@@vincentaravantinos5751 good question, I’m wondering that too. For me it’s more if I mention a client, or a plan, or call notes or whatever else it would be super handy to link to that, right now it means usually using eink for notes at the time and the copying to notion to actually build a usable/searchable knowledge base. Seems super note fixes this.
I was actually happy with to do. I take lots of notes in meetings and had been starring my action items as they came up. Now I just lasso them and add them to my list. Works for me! The rest of the changes were negligible for me. I'm impatiently waiting for the ax52 and am dreading what I anticipate will be a months long backorder process. I hope supernote gets it's supply chain in order!! Thanks for another great video!
What they should have done was add a date to the star list. The star list makes a list that many people use for a to do list. It is easy to make many stars at one time and trivial to add dates afterwards.
After the todo is created and you are back on the note, there is no way to jump from the Note to the ToDo again so you end up not knowing if your current page has ToDos or not which is a huge flaw for me. They could have been more creative on the implementation making this easier to use and more useful. Currently I believe we can make ourselves a better system implemented using just notes and links instead of this ToDo app.
There is no indication that a line of writing is a todo. No highlight no symbol. Nothing. A checkbox should be added or maybe a dotted line box like a heading.
@@anonnimus Similar to links they could have included a little checkbox icon on the side that you can toggle in the note itself or long press to go to the ToDo app.
Hi Voja, Great video (which I am still watching as I write)! The TODO list has good potential, but I reckon it still needs a lot of care. Besides the note -> TODO list limitations, it looks like even adding a task from the TODO app directly has very limited functionalities. I would expect for example multi-lines, heading/multi-level support, etc. Even more simply, the default date is today... All that said, at least they are going through a path with lots of potential. As long as they keep the focus, I am hopeful that the Ratta folks will do great. (I am a happy Boox user, so I am quite neutral)
The to do feature works fine for my usage. Before I used the star on my pages where I still have to do something. Now I can lasso that area and have an automatic shortcut via the to do list to go to the correct page and it helps me to not forget something.
I think that if there was a tag like the star that the notes app recognized as a ToDo tag it would automatically sync to your to do list for you without all of the extra steps. Like using a tag but the system would automatically recognize it.
Voja, another great video ! The To Do function I think is a work in progress, maybe calling it Version 1 would be a better description. Similar to how Ratta has developed other functionality where they release it then get end user feedback and further develop it. At least that is my hope. Your example of a list of items that could then be tagged in the To Do list individually I think is a wonderful option they should consider as I would use that frequently. So as it is, this is how I am finding value in the To Do list in its current iteration. I have multiple meetings with multiple clients each week and from those meetings comes take aways; each meeting has its own note page. What the to do app allows me to do now is as the takeaway is documented I can lasso it and add it immediately to the To Do list. If I then need to I can then go into the To Do list and move tasks to different lists I have created such as Next Week or High Priority, etc. So the value here is in the ease of creating a centralized o Do list on the fly. Additionally, syncing with the desktop app works well as I can have that up on my computer and check off or add additional tasks and when I get back on my A5x or Nomad it is up to date. I have been very happy with my use case for the To Do app, it has been a bit of an efficiency game changer. I am wondering if the on the fly To Do functionality was Ratta's initial intent because that workflow works well. I know that is kind of a one trick pony but it does add value to my use of the Supernote. I appreciate all your videos and value your comments and insight, well done !!
My perspective as a Kindle Scribe user: 1. So jealous of Supernote's communications style and commitment to ongoing improvement! So many improvements in one update. Amazon's latest update allows different templates within a notebook on a per-page basis. No other significant changes, and no schedule for future releases. 2. I have been waiting patiently for the A5X2, but this To-Do feature is too weak. I just placed my order for a Boox Go 10.3, which will let me truly integrate e-ink with ALL my devices (Win/Mac/IOS/Android) via Microsoft OneNote.
PS: I still recognize that Supernote is the Cadillac option compared to reMarkable, still love the repairability of the Nomad platform, and might still pick up an A5X2 when it finally arrives. However it will have to be very good, and more affordable than v1- the Go 10.3 is priced close to a loaded Scribe bundle, which gives it a solid price advantage.
@@santaclaus1711 The A6X2 is small. More of a reader/sketchpad than a serious PDF viewer and note-taking tool. As long as there are still A6X2’s available, the smart money is probably on waiting at least a week or two for actual user feedback and in-depth reviews of the Go 10.3. They’ve started arriving at people’s homes, and there have already been 2 minor firmware updates- probably to fix minor bugs.
I'd like the to-dos to link back to the location I made them The star works like that, but only to a page... if I had several stars on one page (ie several to-dos) then I'd end up with several identical pages being duplicated in the star results. What I would like is to be able to star a to-do, and have that line represented in the list of results (since I often generate multiple to-dos across multiple notepads)...
Great video (as always). The biggest issue for me with the Todo app is no iPhone syncing yet. Desktop syncing seems to work perfectly BUT todos not yet supported on the iPhone.
I still prefer to use my own daily planner to manage action items with due dates. This mix between handwriting and text-based todo-lists breaks my paper-like workflow.
The to do app seems like a step in a great direction! Excited to start using it and for them to implement some of your ideas for improvement hopefully! Thanks for the great video as always!
A quick tip I had to learn early with having both an a5X and an A6X and now the Nomad is to sync each day before I shut down the device I was working on and then to sync as soon as I powered on any of the other devices. This just had to become muscle memory and now I no longer have an Conflict files. Hope this helps as the struggle was real before I implemented this process.
Oi ... To-do.... A first attempt. Now they have to refine it. I see the workflow as syncing from desktop and then merely adding a few tasks from the device here and there. Should be labeled alpha. Or proof of concept or some such. Great video.
I would like the task list created in notebook to be automatically recognized by a square/checkbox symbol at the beginning of the line (similarly to how it currently works with the star symbol), and then automatically sent to the To-do list app, where I could later directly assign them date or other options.
I think that you see the todo app as something made to translate lines and not one line at time. I don't see any app out there that do what you suggested (import the whole list of bullet points and make multiple todo entries), because most todo apps let you entry one todo item at time. To be honest I would not write a list of todo items and then make them as todo entries, but I would write down things I want to do; mark them and then go back and make each one a todo item; so the workflow of doing one by one fits my workflow. My gripe instead is not much on having to do the roundtrip multiple times, but in the fact that the todo app does not have categories or groups. I cannot mark different items on a document for example, to be in different groups (say one item is for design, one is for development, one is for testing), which is weird as SN platform has the concept of keywords, but they are not implemented in the todo app. I can create a category in the todo app, but once you are in the actual page, you have no way to do that, so the whole experience feels quite disjointed.
Another glaring deficiency of the ToDo app that makes it not generally useful is the lack of being able to define a recurring task. For now, my ToDo list/tasks are going to stay in Pocket Informant/MDO…
Hi Voja, thanks for yet another great video. I purchased the Nomad recently and immediately got the update, so I want to ask if two issues I am experiencing can be a byproduct of the update or if they are known: 1.The first stroke is always delayed. After that the writing is smooth. 2.Time to time the screen kind of freezes when writing in a notebook. It's like it couldn't get refreshed. No matter what I do, the last page is visible over everything. Refreshing doesn't help, I always need to restart. Otherwise, I am super happy with it. It's perfect for my work related notes and organising. Thank you for any advice. As for the update, I am also very happy about the lasso now also having the delete functionality. For exactly the same reason. And I am happy about the Czech keyboard 😊Such a nice coincidence. As for the TO-DO, if it were available in the mobile app, I would forgive the uncomplete implementation.
1. This should be connected to the deep sleep functionality, which can be disabled in the settings/battery section, I think. They even mention the behavior there. 2. This is definitely not normal. Have you tried shutting the device down and powering it up again? Maybe there is a memory glitch of some sort after the update that could be cleared up by a simple power cycle.
Ah, thanks a lot! I will try disabling the deep sleep. Yes, I tried shutting down and powering up. But it already happened 3 times🤔I will contact the Supernote support. Thanks again!
Any intention to try to get/review the Daylight DC1? It's kind of a unique thing--not an e-ink display, but also not a computer display. It has a matte appearance, so no gloss or glare, but, apparently, scrolling is like a normal laptop/computer.
It would at least me nice if you can just create to-do's with a default "Today" and then go back to the list to move them. So you add them to the list, and then "later" set the due date.
Honestly im very disappointed by this update. There were so many improvements to do on the core functionality i don't understand why they spent a lot of time developing the todo app, which is really suboptimal. It reminds me of what Remarkable and Boox do and i dont like it: add new artificial subpar features instead of focusing on optimizing the core functionality. First time that team disappoints me. I hope the last :D
Exactly. But even more frustrating for me: their Trello is full of tasks that would improve the core functionality of writing notes. They would have much better spent their time on those tasks in my opinion.
@@santaclaus1711 I still stick to Supernote and very happy I have it. I'm just paying attention how things will evolve. To their defense it turns out that Todo lists was actually the NB 1 requested feature. By far.
I do not have a super note but after you created the event from your notebook, what happens when you delete that line? Does it delete the event? Or do you have to remove it manually? Thanks for clarifying.
The virtual keyboard is not very sensitive. It continues to miss letters etc. So using it to add a todo takes longer than writing it and circling and sending. How about just letting us write with the stylus when adding a todo.
Unfortunately the ToDo app felt like a half baked update like Boox used to release. Not really ready for use as it is. The previous updated toolbar remains a mess that we can't customize and the calendar also needs improvements that have not been made in a long time. Feel like they release a new thing and then abandon the previous released ones that need improvement moving into a new half baked thing.
rM feature released that needs work: "How can they release something this poor?" SN feature released that needs work: "Its an MVP" Both indicate the same thing, really. Yet one is dumping, the other a form of praise. Still, I'm always glad to see reactions of fans. The Apple Newton did this event management stuff with handwriting more smoothly in 1993. The industry discovered that no one really needs or wants to use handwriting for these tasks. Too bad for me, because I do. I can't wait to try it.
@@theseguyz09 I've read the Lean Startup and ran orgs that created these, so I know what it means. It is a positive term for something that people agree customers can use but is not complete. It's a positive way of describing something that isn't done but is useable. There are negative ways to say this too, which always seem to happen on this channel for Boox, rM, etc. But for SN, it's an MVP
Unfortunately I still experience the accidental two finger gesture touches quite often. I now turn it off and default to the Lamy side button, but I am getting a new stylus today so, if that is good (Kaweco) I might not have that option available all the time so I might use the side rail solution instead, but the deletion behaviour is not the same.
Damn, so they didn't fix it :( I don't get it, they broke it, they know when they broke it, and still, it's there... Well, I guess we just have to disable the 2-finger screen gesture and use it that way. This is very disappointing, but thank you for sharing.
