Is this a replacement of the pop-up we had with the "lightning" button?
(I use it intensively and had valuable notes there which were not yet dispatched to my today's page. I'm not sure if I need to file a bug report or how to get assistance finding them?)
About the feature - some benefits of the previous version which is now gone, are:
Having the pop-up content in a separate "buffer" allowed me to decide when to add it to my today's page, and at what date.
It was a super-workable and super-accessible way to do lightning fast drops of ideas or tasks or anything else I needed to capture or remember for the day. It could also be used as a sort of post-it for the current day/work. Like a jot-down space that didn't have to make it into my main graph if I got it handled. If I didn't, I could just save it when I close for the day. This was great, because one of the challenges with Tana is that it is an omni-tool and we tend to have several browser windows open with multiple panels, each in their own work/task context. The pop-up could be easily accessed without risking to mess up any panel layouts.
In addition to the above, even if not using it as a jot-down space during the day - I am still forced to complete the "quick-entry" in one go. If I click "back" to get into my normal context (perhaps to check or copy something), I have no way to reach that created note again. I will then have to jump out to my today's page and scroll to the bottom. Previously I could just click outside the pop-up and find what I needed. And then open the pop-up again and continue my entry.
Overall, I see the (other) benefits of the new Create function. It can do more advanced things, but it could co-exist along with the pop-up / jotting feature which could stay simple. That would give us the best of two worlds.
Edit: I got a tip that the quick add is still available through the command menu. Good - then I can find my stuff there. My vote is that the functionality is kept in the app, and that it keeps an icon in the UI so that it remains a quick add :)
You don't have permission to do this.
You're going a bit too fast! Take a break and try again in a moment.
Something went wrong! Please reload the page and try again.
