@FictionWriter09 That could be part of a character map type of thing, which would be great. I really like the idea of adding details to events. Maybe having a timeline builder would be cool. Also, with the death information idea, maybe putting that into a "Health" section on the character's page, which lists things like different diseases, any medications, service animals, if anyone in their family is a doctor, etc.

@halfging3r Chihuahua Mom

An idea that just came to me: Having a "find and replace" feature could be very useful, especially when we don't quite know what we're going to call something yet, but we still need to reference it in various other places, it'd be useful to be able to just type, for instance, "[Academy Name]" into the search-bar type thing and then type in whatever you want to replace it with into the "replace with" bar (I always put things I haven't named yet into brackets with a generic descriptive name, so that I know it still needs named). Or, if we think of a name we like better, we can just use the replace function and replace all the times we used the old name with the new name at once, instead of having to go through and edit every page individually, and risk missing something.

money would be a good add-on. creating currencies and comparing their values in different locations.

At the moment there is a 'Currency' field under the Culture tab of Country templates, but those templates are only open to Premium users.

ok, I didn't know that. but my mom pointed something out to me yesterday: notebook.ai helps with worldbuilding, but not with actually writing the book. I think they could add a plot section, to help plan out your thoughts.

@HighPockets group

Maybe a section in Characters for Injuries/Disabilities/Illnesses? My main project has a lot of war and infighting so characters gain injuries that don't heal by the next book. I also have a characters who are missing limbs or have illnesses such as tuberclosis that can return.

@@jynandor - With the new update, you should be able to add a custom section like that to your character pages! You could call the section Health and have fields for Injuries, Disabilities and Illnesses within it. :) Let me know if you need help getting the custom categories figured out.

@Riorlyne pets

Oh I hadn't seen it yet!! That's super cool!!!

andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s still working on it so that we can reorder categories and fields and edit what we named them, so there's even more exciting stuff ahead. :) (Also check out the icons - I bet there's a few that would work really well for a 'Health' category.)

A Name With No Girl

I'm not sure if this is even remotely plausible, but I'd really enjoy having a space where I could expand on the relationship between two characters. Say I had Character A and her father, Character B. It would be helpful to be able not only to link B to A as "Father" but to also describe the dynamics of their father/daughter relationship, what old grudges or resentments there are, how A views B and how B views A and how this plays out in their interactions. So far I've been doing this in the Notes section as necessary, but when multiple characters are interconnected with each other and I need to classify their relationships, it gets difficult to manage/organise.
Just a suggestion though, I'm perfectly happy with the site as is! Thank you so much!

An "Acquaintance" field would be nice. Together with @ninja_violinist 's great idea it will allow us to map and expand on the connections between characters which don't fall to any existing category. I mean, there are a lot of people I know for a very long time, but they aren't exactly my "friends" or my "enemis".

@halfging3r Chihuahua Mom

And expanding on that even further, having and "allies" field would be useful too. Sometimes, people don't get along, but due to some circumstances, are still working together. It'd be nice to have that extra distinction.

A Name With No Girl

ALSO, there is no option to write from right to left. I mean, it's possible to write (as opposed to other sites where I had to write backwards like - sdrawkcab) but it would be a bit more comfortable for all of us native speakers of right-to-left-languages ^^
(unless there isn't realy a lot of "us"…)

@ImNotCrazyImAFangirl

^ Most people on here are native English speakers, or at least most speak it. Although I could understand the need for a right-to-left one? Maybe if more people showed their support for the idea you could get it done

@Peter_Duende language

Another suggestion. Maybe add the ability to delete discussions.

I second this. Being able to delete threads we've started will be extremely helpful, as threads often die out. I say that would be useful, as well as the ability to delete PM messages to help clear out our inboxes.

@Riorlyne pets

Something I think would come in useful (sorry if this has already been suggested) is an additional privacy option. At the moment we can make our pages visible to only us or to the entire internet, but it would be handy if we could have an option somewhere in between that, either something along the lines of 'only those with the link can view' or 'only users logged in to Notebook.ai can view', or perhaps having them password-protected so only those who know the current password can view. I really love sharing my work with users on here and getting feedback, but I find it a bit unsettling that googling the names of my public characters brings up their pages.

Could we have the ability to link characters as rivals instead of just friends and enemies. Could we also link landmarks and places to towns.
EDIT: Or maybe just the ability to add our own links between pages
Thanks :D great work so far love the site

It would be cool to have Event pages for things like recurring festivals and tournaments.

EDIT: Or maybe just the ability to add our own links between pages

This would be super helpful. As well as editing the existing field names in page categories.
