2 Suggestions! (I'm sure they have already been mentioned buuuuuuut)
- a feature where we can create a 'Timeline' for our universes? Just to make it a bit easier to plan out plot lines and such!
- a 'Map" feature so we can have a visual representation of our universes?
Thanks so much!
THAT WOULD BE SOOOO AWESOME ESPECIALLY THE TIMELINE PART!!! I NEED THE TIMELINE!!!!!!!!!
Also I just thought of something else pretty cool;
Y'know how we can link characters as family members? I think it would be really helpful if we could have a spot to show them in their family trees, basically a generated family tree for our characters. Maybe it could also be changed to show friendships and alliances?? (Also editable by the author in case of slip ups or complications…)

I was actually thinking about the timeline thing earlier lol. It would be really useful for me, the timeline/plot of my novel is really complicated and being able to organize it would be very helpful

Yes yes yes yes!! And if these could be interactive/interconnected somehow (like, showing the evolution of different countries and such over time, for instance, or the ability to mark the locations of various events), that would be awesome!
Also, 1 additional suggestion for the map feature: Some way to have different layers on a map? Like, have one layer that shows countries, and another layer that shows population distribution of various lifeforms, for instance. Or maybe have this as an option on the template for various pages?

This person has good ideas. I shall add on to their list
-A way to make and view family trees, so we don't have to go on a different website.

That's what I said!!

And this was probably said before, but something to differentiate between different kinds of family members (half-siblings, step-siblings, aunts/uncles, in-laws, etc.)

THANK YOU!!!
Here's an idea for another page: weather and other natural phenomena.

That's a good one! Also, if there is a way to make editing documents more mobile friendly, I'd appreciate it. I can't take a screenshot to show you, but if anyone's curious just try to edit a doc on your phone and you'll see what I mean
Hey, I have a page type request: An element/compound page? Basically somewhere we can put different types of elements and compounds. For instance, as a part of my magic system, I'm creating a new rock found on the moon (the rock itself isn't inherently magical, but it helps make magic happen), and I just realized there's not a related-enough page to put it in. I'll put it in an "items" page, for now, but it'd be nice to have a specific place to put it. It could also be useful if, for instance, someone wanted to create a special metal for something, or have a special liquid or gas in an atmosphere or something.

I have had a related problem! I have a new element to add to my storyline. Currently I have not been able to make a page for this element because there isn’t a page close enough to it. Using the “items” page is a good idea, however, thank you for that @halfging3r

This would be useful to me too. I have several various elements, that aren't plants, but have different effects, not necessarily magic, but still important.
Also thanks for the idea on putting them in the items page for now!
Ummmmmmm
Can we please have a limit on how long users can be? Because certain users stretch the Currently online box so high I have to flip my iPad upside down and pinch the screen in order to see the whole list (or I can’t @Name them.). Which is a little ridiculous. I know it’s coming from me, the person who used to have the longest user on the site, but people have stretched past that and made theirs much longer. So…. yeah.

Agreed. On my chromebook some usernames make me need to scroll across the screen to read. There's no reason why a username should be that long, if something's that important just put it in your profile.

True. It makes it harder to @ people, and honestly most of the really long names are just some inside joke or other (that's just how I feel, don't come for me)
The page suggestions above are definitely good; I'll see what I can do about including them. (Also, I'd like to eventually let people create entirely new pages, and eventually-eventually let them share them with others).
As for usernames, I have an update planned that'll reduce the length allowed on usernames and restrict most nonstandard characters from appearing in them. This actually breaks mentions and PMs entirely in many places. With this update I also plan on setting up some kind of prettier URLs for our profiles (like finding me, @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), at notebook.ai/@andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)), but I haven't finalized all that code yet. :)
While worldbuilding tonight I stumbled into a problem!
I would really appreciate the quick-add feature onboard the Link feature, if that's possible.
When I'm writing up, say, a building, and I want to link the Character page for the Owner, but I haven't yet created the character yet, it would be so so helpful to just quick-add his Character right there, without having to save my progress, exit out of the page, go quick-add the character and then return to what I was working on.
In addition to that, I think it's been suggested before, but custom categories for all of our pages would help a lot for organization. I don't want to have to sift through a long list of characters that are often quick-adds and minors, mixed in with my important characters. If I could group them all it would make my work so much more organized.
Thank you!
@divetoheart The quick-add feature seems very useful, I like that idea. For now, though, you could make an additional "Owners" text field and just write their names in there.
As for the categories thing, I'm pretty sure he's said he's working on adding a tag system so we can tag/filter different pages. Hopefully soon, my "characters" category is getting pretty cluttered.
@halfging3r glad to hear about the tag system. As far as making a field for Owners, it already exists. I just prefer to link pages as opposed to names, that way, when I visit the page in the future, I can click on the owner directly and catch up on whatever I wrote about him. I'll make do, for now, though.
Something I noticed in the Documents feature: When trying to make an ordered list, the numbers and the text don't quite line up. Instead, they look like this-
Idk, just something that was bothering me a little. Also, it would be great if there were more varieties added to the list maker, like bullet points and check marks. Other than that, the docs feature is still pretty great.

The same thing happens for me with bullets in all the other pages. The numbers, however, work fine in docs. I haven't tried them in regular pages, though.
And yes, having bulleted lists in docs would be nice.
Yeah, speaking of docs, I ran into an interesting problem on mobile. I went to go edit a doc I made earlier whewhen I was using a computer and it is impossible to do anything except exit.
I went in at first and this is what I get as soon as I click the "Edit" button: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cWotXcRC3R1v3uhjzRSU76YtsayblNsJ/view?usp=drivesdk
So I thought well, maybe I should turn my phone sideways? Survey says: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uZRAjmGnQwoO_VciIS4lkHVWFAys1Azp/view?usp=drivesdk
NOPE.
So yeah if @andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) could maybe fix this at some point, that'd be great. :)
