Bugs and Feature requests for the apps I use

The Apps I use the most are open source software in active development. Often, I notice bugs or I have ideas of possible improvements but I rarely have time to file a proper issue for every bug or a exhaustive post for a feature request. Thus, in this list I quickly note all the thoughts which pop up in my mind, hoping some day I’ll find enough time to effectively share my reports.



iOS #

Improvements and bugs of iOS which I notice while using my iPhone. iPhone feedback form

  • Siri offline
  • Clicking multiple times to toggle WiFi and Bluetooth: one click to disable it (white color), two clicks to completely switch it off. Alternatively, adding in the long-press pop-up the option to switch it off completely.
  • More selective notifications options, as in Android: select only specific types of notifications to mute
  • Extended screenshots


Messages #

  • Improved audio handling
    • recording stops when screen shuts off
  • Delete for me / delete for everybody option



Signal #

Signal is the most secure and private messaging app in the world

  • markdown syntax (or any text formatting capability)
  • setting to choose to automatically download media and add to Library



Loop habit tracker #

Loop Habit Tracker is an open source app for Self tracking

  • Add the capability of inserting daily numbers instead of boolean values only. (e.g. to track how many candies I ate)



Nextcloud Notes #

  • Front matter recognition
  • Monospaced fonts for raw Markdown only (only while editing)



DupeGuru #

  • scanning also mirrored images and rotated ones



Hypothes.is #

Hypothes.is is an annotation and highlighting service for web pages

  • design improvement
  • WebMentions and IndieWeb integration



Obsidian #

Feature requests #

  • choose to hide front matter when embedding other notes, even if “show YAML front matter” is switched on for the notes
  • Multiple hotkeys for one action
  • In links, update also headings when their name is changed
  • Tags aliases (e.g. #place == #places)


Bugs #

  • in editor mode last 2 letters are hidden. (fixed by setting .CodeMirror overflow: unset in obsidian.css)
  • cursor width not corresponding to a single character’s spacing
  • wiki-like links don’t work in divs



1Writer #

1Writer is arguably the best Markdown writer app for iOS

  • Scroll to top / scroll to bottom buttons
  • Custom display front matter
  • read front matter metadata and use it
  • add a GUI metadata editor which modifies front matter content
  • support anchor links in wikilinks
  • support pages embedding

Joplin #

Joplin is a wonderful and complete note-taking app.

Note: I stopped using Joplin as my daily driver since November 2020 and I switched to Obsidian. The reasons why I did this are in this blog post.

Features requests #

  • Export to docx/odt: pandoc integration
  • Choose or edit formatting options of exported PDFs from GUI
  • Syntax Highlighting on mobile
  • Keyboard Shortcut for To-Do/Note conversion
  • display To-Dos on top after reminder rung
  • when a completed to-do has an indented point, dim it too
  • remove the delete confirmation button by adding a “Trash” notebook which empties itself automatically every x days
  • multiple simultaneous note editing
  • MOBILE ONLY: when clicking on reminder’s notification, go to the reminder in question
  • Notebook pinning
  • <br /> shortcut
  • Join the Common Mark standard
  • don’t create the _resources folder when exporting a note which hasn’t any attachments
  • Toggle an automatic table of content creation
  • Support for YAML front matter
  • Implement split view: two different notes side by side

Bugs #

  • cmd + E works only to switch external editing on, not to turn it off



Zettlr #

Zettlr is the best Markdown editor out there.

Since November 2020 I stopped using Zettlr because its work could be made by Obsidian
  • Implement split view: two different notes side by side
