  3. I would love to have a template that would aid me in script practice, personally I would love for it to be Spencerian Script template, but any script template would be good for practice.

  4. When writing one often uses lined/grid paper. However, when printing it would be useful if the background is a plain white paper. It would be really useful if one could change the paper template of all pages at once and not only individual pages.

  5. Allow the ability to reformat/re-color text via simply highlighting with a tool (similar to highlighter) rather than having to lasso and change the color.

  6. Have a up/down and left/right button for scrolling between pages so that I don’t have to swipe. Easier to switch pages and let it align perfectly every time.

  7. I don’t need you to tell me I’ve pasted a page successfully. I’m not blind. Just let me do whatever I need to do and don’t force me to stare at that stupid check mark for 2 seconds every single time.

  8. There are many proposals for hyperlinks between pages within a notebook or between pages in different notebooks.

    This augments that idea with backlinks, such that each time a hyperlink is created from page A to page B, a backlink is implicitly created from page B to page A - so that it is easy to navigate back, as is currently available in Notion and Roam Research.

  9. I have been using goodnotes for almost three years now. One thing I feel is lacking from GoodNotes is the functionality of cross-platforms compatibility. One note has a chrome browser extension for web grab which adds the web to your notes directly. I think it would be super useful for goodnotes class notes taking

  10. Like to be able to change the colours for goodnotes and having only 3 options for the colours with one usually being black is quite restrictive and changing it every time can be tedious. Would be very nice if we could have more pen colour options on the toolbar. Thanks for considering my idea!

  11. I have shaky hands, and while the straight line feature on the highlighter is helpful, it would be awesome to have the option to change the highlighter color when you select text (i.e, like you would do when you go to copy it to clipboard). You can use the lasso tool to select it after highlighting it, but that is a pain lol.

  12. Add an option for the pen tool that would smooth out handwriting (similar to a feature in procreate.) I can get really picky about my handwriting and will spend 5x as long writing a sentence trying to get the jitters and bumps out of the hand writing.

  13. In the option box generated by long-pressing the word, there is currently only 'definition'. It would be more applicable if 'translation' was added.
    长按单词产生的选项框中,目前只有‘定义’。如果增加‘翻译’会更适用。

  15. It'd be amazing if we could toggle on and off the pressure sensitivity entirely and rather the thickness of the strokes be dependent majorly on the speed of the stroke. This would, imo, make the writing experience a whole lot better for a lotta others like me.

  16. Add the option to increase/reduce stabilization of hand-drawn strokes and as this would help make a lot of people's handwriting less jittery and MUCH MUCH neater.
    For reference, Procreate has a great stabilization feature and I absolutely love using that to write down important titles.

    .. If not customizable stabilization, then a stabilization of around 30% to 35% on the Procreate standard would be absolutely wonderful :D

  18. Using the Apple Pencil Scribble function to convert handwritten words to typed text in realtime works very well, but it automatically converts capital letters (particularly the first letter of a word that is meant to be capitalized) to lowercase letters. For example, writing “Energy” with a capital E changes the word to “energy” with lowercase e. It also underlines the autocorrected word in blue. Tapping or selecting the word underlined in blue gives no option to change it back to the intended capitalization. This does not happen in any default Apple app. I’ve contacted Apple support about this, and I…

  19. Currently the only login option is Login with Apple, which many users can’t access. A simple email login and/or Login with Google would be great.

  20. When having lots of readings for classes such as philosophy and ethics, I think it would be useful to be able to import it into the notebook, but collapse it. Same with images. So, you see the little folder icon in the notebook, click on it, and it opens either the document or image in the full page, so that it's not taking up tons of pages on the notebook.
