Personal Desired Improvements

These are my ideas after a quick use of good notes (Lots of desired improvements but great start)
1) Use a slide as a way to choose the size of the pen/eraser, or at least add 2 more sizes to choose between
2) Delete comments
3) Use your fingers to move or resize lassoed notes
4) Use the keyboard to type notes
5) Shapes and Coordinate Axes
6) Ink to Shape and Ink to Math
7) Look up handwriting to find documents
8) Insert PDFs, documents, or images to write on
9) Record audio from class
10) Better exporting i.e to PDF or straight to email
11) Pen and Highlighter groups so you have a preset group that has certain sizes and colors
12) Change the color of already written notes using the lasso feature (should be able to do this using your finger)
13) Allow the use of tabs like the Ipad version
14) Use the half-window preset that Windows 11 offers
15) Variability of line thickness based on the pressure of a pen
16) Folders and Organization for Notebooks
17) Insert or Remove Space (like onenote)
18) Ability to view notes on the phone
19) Share, favorite, and even collaborate on notes with others (cross-platform as well)
20) Handwritten flashcard set!!!
21) Laser Pointer
22) Make the hold-down time to interact less to get to copy for example
23) Much better notebook interface
24) Settings menu
25) Make it as similar to iPad as possible but take advantage of the high power of windows and laptops

    Elaborating on Previously Introduced Ideas:

    Comment on 7) Look up handwriting to find documents:
    Or at least have an opporunity to set up a table of content with links to pages. Similar to Page highlights, but maybe you can build in an option to set titles to the highlighted pages and that they can be grouped together to give surtitles.

    Comment on 10) Better exporting i.e to PDF or straight to email

    For me, "better" would mean that the name of the notebook is also automatically selected as the PDF name. It would also be nice if you could export entire folders and then all the text files they contain would be exported as PDFs

    Comment on 18) Ability to view notes on the phone:
    It's only possible in the browser right now, but an application would be nice. For a beginning it's not necessary to be able to edit on Android aswell, first a "file viewer" would be fine aswell

    Comment on 25) Make it as similar to iPad as possible but take advantage of the high power of windows and laptops:
    A non web application would be very nice. I think it would be less laggy, because i have to wait several seconds if i want to quit a note and switch to another one. If i have to leave more than one folder, it takes me up to one minute to get out of the two folders until Goodnotes is ready to open the one i wanted to switch to.

    But overall i experienced a lot of nice improvements during the last months and i am very happy switching from OneNote to Goodnotes.

    idk which beta version you experienced, but I discovered that choosing one of the 3 pen sizes then clicking on it again reveals a slider so that you can customize each one. I do agree that more slots need to be added though, especially for quickness.
