Move To... needs: Node Navigator + Date Picker

Explain the problem as you see it

Right now the Move To command is pretty useless. I can only move things to pre-defined nodes, which is altogether that useful as it requires a bunch of extra setup.

Why is this a problem for you?

I'm used to being able to Move To... a node anywhere in my graph (in Workflowy). The fact that I can't is a big disruption to my daily workflow. I like to jot a quick list of items down on my Daily node and the move to the future where I'll handle them later. In Workflowy, this is super straightforward and simple. I write them down, I choose the Move To... command and start typing the name of the node or parent node I want, then I navigate and drill-down to where I want it, hit enter, and keep moving. In Tana, I can't do this at all. I just get hit with a wall when I invoke the command.

Suggest a solution

Allow the ability to move nodes to anywhere in the graph with an inline navigator that pops up. Allow a Date Picker to appear when moving items to dated entries.

I really really hope they build this to reduce the learning curve.

PS: I get you're creating a brand new category, but the best way to drive more customers for tech products is to make them familiar, integrate with current workflows or provide massive support and tools to migrate to new workflows. It's all here.
