Future development

These are just some basic features for MindStone v1, many more are coming (if I find enough of interest and this will probably a premium/paid option):

  • 🎯 Obsidian, Notion, VSCode Plugin
  • 🎯 Page Preview (like Obsidian Core plugin)
  • 🎯 Andy Sliding pane
  • 🎯 Full text search with Cmd + K
  • 🎯 Infinite canvas for browsing through notes and connections

Some know issues

This an early version of MindStone, which mean there are bugs and issues. Below are some known issues, that I plan to work on:

  • Graphview does not load when clicking on side-bar or click node on graphview, browser reload will refresh it state
  • Graph view layout and interaction is still very rough. More UI/UX improvements are needed.
  • Transclusion is not working yet.
