Live search based on date fields: include @Today as floating date

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

Live search is very limited when searching by date fields.
It is a problem since only search under the #day Supertag is possible and in limited levels.
For instance, I have a follow up search for #tasks assigned to other people. I can filter by 'Due date' PARENT to filter the tasks overdue. Then I have #sub-tasks into the #tasks, and here I can't filter the overdue sub-tasks with GRANDPARENT because they are 3 levels of the #day supertag:

  1. #Day
  2. Search node
  3. #task

Why is this a problem for you?

It is very tedious and time consuming to filter every #sub-task live search into the #task Supertag with the filter option Specific period

Suggest a solution

Option 1 (prefered one) ↴
To add the possibility to set @Today as floating date in date fields.
It would make possible to filter overdue nodes out of #day supertag giving also more flexibility to filters under the #day supertag

Option 2 ↴
In the search filter, to add Today and overdue and not Set to the filter options

Change several date nodes with the comand Ctrl / Cmd + K

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

When I have to change date fields in several nodes, it is not possible today with Ctrl + K / Cmd +K

Why is this a problem for you?

I have to postpone or re-plan tasks to another day (next week / in two weeks) , I have to go one by one, and it's veeeeery slow.
It would be great to have the option to select several nodes and to set the date in Due date or any other date field using Ctrl / Cmd + K

Suggest a solution

Enable the comand Ctrl / Cmd + K to date fields
Better with the additional option to select the date from a calendar pop up 😉

'Group by field' in live seach: I summarize what is necessary to make it useful

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

Now grouping Live searches is very very limited.
It is a very useful way to summarize information in the Live search, but it is limited and inconsistent in some cases.
There are many ways to enhance this important feature to make it really useful.

Why is this a problem for you?

  • When you add a new node, it is unselected by default. It makes the Live search unreliable and it is necessary to check the list to ensure that all options are selected.
  • The list is too long when you have many group fields with many empty groups and without the option to collapse all or individual results
  • In date groups, days is not always the best option. Having this as a subgroup of weeks and years is a much clear approach
  • In many cases is necessary to group by different concepts (like Areas / Proyects) when tasks or notes are part of a project or individual task (Area)
  • Scroll the group list is impossible, and you have to make zoom to 70%-50% in the browser to see full list

Suggest a solution

  • Options to select / unselect → All / None / Only show fields with results / manual
  • Collapse all or individual group results
  • Sort groups by any field grouped or manually (drag & drop)
  • Show (with number) the number of nodes inside
  • In date fields, group the results by year / week / date
  • Use of semantic funtion in Group by several fields by showing sub-groups into groups
  • Subgroup by diferent concepts (same as sort) grouping by 1st concept and subgrouping by 2nd and 3rd
  • Group tables
  • Scroll the group window to see the full content of fields when selecting the needed ones
  • New nodes selected by default
  • Show / don't show empty groups options

Export options in different formats

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

My life (personal & profesional is here) and I need to have a backup of my information.

Why is this a problem for you?

In case of need, to be able to have my information in my local, and If one day for any reason, Tana doesn't exist, to make easy to recover my information in different formats to use it elsewhere.

Suggest a solution

To have options to export in different formats (JSON, markdown, Plain text, OPML...)

Share a node with different options (Full access - Can Edit - Can view) without the need to create an account (see workflowy).

Actions

Explain the problem as you see it

I have to share meeting notes with colleagues.

Previously I was doing it very easy with workflowy. I could share the node and the nested content in different ways and it was interactive when needed (edition mode) without the need for my colleagues to have an account in the app.

Thanks to this, several colleagues started using workflowy because they saw the potential of the app.

Why is this a problem for you?

For instance when I have to share meeting notes with colleagues.

Now I have to print the notes in a PDF format to share the content (a problem in Dark mode), and if I edit the document, it is not automatically updated.

When I assign tasks to others, they cannot comment on the document and update information without the need to have an account and I can't add comments neither for them.

Suggest a solution

Sharing options ↴

  1. Full access - Can Edit - Can view (for Tana users)
  2. Full access - Can Edit - Can view sharing a link(for non Tana users → No need to have an account)
