Dec 21, 2023 Is there still some way to indicate if something is a reference, search, contextual etc once an icon is added ?Adding onto this with some examples. I like the idea of icons, but the obfuscation of contextual content especially is rough
The styling, especially the subtle flash, behind the references is
(chef's kiss). Looks fantastic.
That said, I've noticed a slight dip in the ease of editing. Previously, it took just a single click to modify a specific part of a reference. Now, it requires 3 clicks since the input field only appears after either double-clicking or expanding the node. Admittedly, it's only 2 clicks if you expand the node instead of double clicking but I find myself doing that much less often.
Transclusions everywhere, as a first class feature, along with supertags, initially drew me to Tana. While I understand and appreciate the value of these new 'soft locks', they add a bit more resistance to my workflow than I'd prefer.
I'm sure there is some balance that can be achieved as the UX decisions y'all have made have been consistently strong. In the interim, having an option to disable the soft lock feature, perhaps accompanied by a playful warning similar to the one in Obsidian when switching to Vim mode indicating that it's destructive, would be fantastic.
