Apr 23, 2025 I realize that Tana is "more powerful" because you can tag anywhere, and smart nodes collate the results. But what that leads to is stuff all over the place and working with search nodes all the time....So much this. And hearing that your concerns and solutions are mocked is disheartening. People have different needs and preferences. Tana markets itself as flexible and wanting to fit your workflow but if there is such a strongly opinionated design hidden underneath and ambassadors mocking or discouraging people's personal workflows and preferences is a bit alarming. My brain works exactly the same way as you describe and hearing this makes me feel a bit uncomfortable about going all in on Tana.

Maybe you could implement it similar to the task list in the boilerplate day template, where we can choose how many items are displayed at once.

Nov 25, 2024 Thanks, nice idea, one for future. Tab to indent currently works when parent is collapsed, but we can be more mouse friendly here. CleanShot 2024-11-25 at 14.42.20.gifI'd also really like to see this feature as well! Right now the UI has a lot of unnecessary friction when structuring thinking, brainstorms and such. I work in game development, and our industry relies a lot on hierarchical structures for designs and work backlogs.
Pinned nodes should support this as well. Sometimes I want to just quickly drop a node underneath a pinned node, like my work backlog or my scratchpad of raw uncategorized notes.

I'd also really like to see this implemented. In my mind, it is a basic feature of an outliner. I can't think of any other outliner apps that do not support this. It is the single thing that makes me not want to switch from Workflowy to Tana, as it introduces so much unnecessary friction while structuring your thinking.
Thank you for the clarification! I can very much relate to the way you described Workflowy, haha!
