    If Tana wants to be used for note-taking and outlining, it needs to make writing essays easy. The best learners write essays and make mind maps to learn. Mind maps are a heavy lift, but essays should...

    I feel like the easiest way to do this would just be:

    1. Expose in supertag options how that supertag displays in Tana's Publish View
    2. Add new display options in publish view such as "quote", "bulleted_list_item", "numbered_list_item", "hidden", etc.
    3. Rely on existing ! syntax for heading levels.
    4. Make Tana's Publish View editable, so we can work totally from there when in "focus mode" on a text.
    5. Make it possible on a supertag to hide all fields (and stay hidden), so that they don't show in Publish view or while writing and distract.

    The last thing that would help here, for poets like myself, would just be to make line breaks possible inside any node with shift + enter. Then users can create a "stanza" tag as needed. ☺️

    All this would stay in Tana's ethos of being highly composable and essentially allow us to make templates for any kind of document we can imagine.

    2. Tana API ✦ Add data to Tana and access it with API
    Alice Alexandra Alice Alexandra Mar 30, 2025

    I would add to this that lately I've been making great use of Tana's ability to send HTTP requests from any node. I make some workflows in n8n that interpret data from Tana when I execute the command in Tana.

    However, the output format of this data is very hard to work with, given it's all just... string with spacing. Having a proper output API would also enable really cool custom workflows within Tana itself, given that we could easily:

    1. Press a button in Tana that sends an HTTP request with data from Tana.
    2. Get data back a few seconds later without ever leaving Tana.

    2. Allow Claude and other models to be used instead of GPT

    Yeah, hoping we get the ability to bring our own OpenRouter key and just use whatever models we want.

    Your specific use-case is already covered by Tana. Enable the "part of" semantic function for your >Scope field in the advanced setting of the field configuration. You can then use the COMPONENTS REC...

    Thanks so much!! I'll have to check this out and get it working.

    Just commenting here for visibility and support.

    My use case is that I have a #scope supertag in my workspace. Every other supertag can have a scope (i.e., "Personal," "Professional," but then also getting specific in those domains like "Coding" or "Music").

    However, every scope itself can also have a scope. For instance, I have a scope for my novel, so I can easily query it for all people, places, tasks, etc., related to that novel. That scope in turn has an "Authored" scope.

    Sometimes I want to query, for instance, all "Authored" work (as separate from the real world), but to do that, I'd need to query everything with a scope where that scope's scope is "Authored." Sad that there's no way to do that.
