Explain the problem as you see it

Often i want to combine nodes that have accidentally been seperated into siblings.

e.g. after accidentally hitting enter while the caret is somewhere inside the node name. I expect to be able to hit backspace to correct the mistake, but this has no effect.

Why is this a problem for you?

This unexpected behaviour slows me down when using tana.

Suggest a solution

If the caret is at the first possible position inside a node name, hitting backspace appends the node to its previous sibling (if any exists).

In my daily node i have a jumble of differently tagged child nodes. I would like some way to quickly sort them 1. into tag groups, 2. and then by creation date. This would make it easier for me to understand/process what's in today's node.

Why is this a problem for you?

I end up with messy 'today' and 'inbox' nodes that creates resistance in me to using tana.

Suggest a solution

There could be user defined Custom sort algorithms, defined in the Settings area. These would show up in addition to the existing 'Sort by' commands for a node.

Currently there's no indication of how far along the user's AI calls are.

Why is this a problem for you?

In some cases it's not clear whether the call has 'hung'/failed, while the spinner keeps spinning.
Having a better sense of the API call progress would help me decide whether to divert my attention to something else temporarily, or wait.

Suggest a solution

One improvement could be to have two distinct 'progress' states, reflected in the spinner animation.

1. Prompt is being sent to GPT
2. Tana is receiving GPT output.

One way of differentiating between states could be to have the node icon pulse (on/off) while data is being sent, and spin while data is being received.

I want to create commands. But I'm finding the language used in the command documentation confusing.

"Think of ⚡ COMMANDS as the actions your Tana Command will perform."

It sounds like the thing I call from the ctrl+k menu is a Tana Command, and it's composed of ⚡ COMMANDS ? I'm already doubtful here because it seems unlikely that 'command' would be used to refer to two distinct things that have a close relationship in the app. But that's how I read this.

Are these two kinds of commands different kinds of entity within tana with very similiar names?

Why is this a problem for you?

This makes it difficult for me to grasp, conceptually, how tana works.

Suggest a solution

Consider renaming ⚡ COMMANDS. Some possibilities:

Directives
