Tana Capture to {Today} toggle

Explain the problem as you see it

Currently Tana Capture adds nodes to the [Inbox]
These nodes are "wrapped" in the History with each submit (so it is possible to tab subordinate nodes within a single submit "wrapper")
"Wrappers" are timestamped in Tana Capture History on mobile, but they are not "wrapped" or timestamped in Tana web (which is the only place you can migrate these nodes out of the inbox)

Why is this a problem for you?

This is a problem for me because I use the mobile capture app frequently but am only able to log online on a computer sporadically.
Timestamped "wrappers" are only visible in the history of the device on which they were captured, so the history is incomplete if another device is used

Net problem is that when transferring nodes out of the [Inbox] I have to refer back to the mobile, but not all history is there so I have to guess at the date of the captured node

Suggest a solution

Add a toggle to the Tana Capture which allows users to save captures to the {Today} page per capture, and/or in settings to capture in {Today} by default

This removes the need to migrate nodes out of an inbox (and potentially losing them by fat-fingering the wrong keyboard shortcuts)

**possible perceived downsides: **

  • Some might consider the process of reviewing a single inbox easier than having to scroll through each day to find untagged nodes
  • It might not be possible/easy to create a List of untagged nodes
