Inline reference creation not working

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

  1. @ mentions on empty nodes and hitting Shift+Enter does not work (creates a reference node)

  2. copying the node/reference with Cmd/Ctrl+C, then paste into empty node with Cmd/Ctrl+V and hitting spacebar or any other key does not work (creates a reference node)

Why is this a problem for you?

MATH EQUATIONS SUPPORT

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

This is becoming a major problem for me. I suspect 90% of Tana users are in a domain that requires some form of math formatting.

Why is this a problem for you?

It's already expensive as it is. Please at least provide additional formatting options; I am literally forced to move to a different tool because of lack of a simple and silly formatting feature

Suggest a solution

Stop your AI and other feature implementations and provide basic functionality first. If it's that difficult to implement, at least write a quick code to allow multiple consecutive sub/superscript character formatting.

Bug - multiple monitor issue on apple MacBooks

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

I have two apples studio display monitors connected to my M3 Max MacBook Pro. Every time I drag Tana desktop app from one monitor to the other, the app instantly minimizes its interface. Switching back to the other monitor instantly maximizes its interface

Why is this a problem for you?

It seems like Tana has a built in zooming interface feature when switching to a second monitor.

Suggest a solution

I'd like the apps interface to remain unchanged when dragging from one monitor to the other.

Bug - Desktop MacOS app never updates

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

The Tana desktop app never updates.

Why is this a problem for you?

I always have to go on Tana website to check for new releases and manually download a new app version. I don't recall the app ever notifying for new updates.

Suggest a solution

Please fix this updating issue now that you've officially gone public. Every time I open the app, there should be an automatic notification if new version is available. I also suggest creating a menu option to check for new updates.

Please expand further in regards to INLINE TAGGING in Tana Docs

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

No one seems to grasp inline tags. I've raised the question on Reddit and Slack and there seems to be a whole lot of confusion in regards to inline tags.

inline tag vs inline reference vs supertag.png

Why is this a problem for you?

There is zero documentation in regard to the use of inline tags. The only documentation is that you can create them via the context menu, that's it. I've been struggling to grasp inline tagging for a long time and I can't seem to find anyone or any tutorial explaining inline tagging. In theory I know what @reference, inline #tag, and #supertag do and how they appear but can't differentiate in which context one provides a benefit over the other and vice versa. I'm aware that:

  • @references: appear in the Library page

  • inline #tags: do not appear at the end of a node in the Outline page & only in the Schema Page

  • #supertags: creates a #tag at the end of a node as well as in the Schema Page

Suggest a solution

Please provide more documentation on the characteristics of inline tags and how they differ to inline references and node supertags. Providing some examples would be of tremendous help.
