Word Count and other stats for nodes
Explain the problem as you see it
As Tana is becoming more of a node for capturing notes and information, as well as my everyday life, I have found myself doing more writing in Tana. The problem is that a lot of my writing has strict parameters when it comes to word count (or on occasion character count), such as grant writing, articles, or other technical submissions.
Why is this a problem for you?
As a lot of my writing depends on word/character count and I cannot surface this information on Tana, I have found myself switching to other apps to do writing or rely on alternate workarounds (like an Alfred workflow) to do this. This is impacting my writing workflow as some of my information/notes is on Tana, but then I have to switch to another app to write.
