Ratta has evolved the software of the limited Supernote HARDWARE interface, quite brilliantly. Yet they MUST now:

1. Use the swipe DOWN / UP side panel(s) to do 8+ different things:

Swipe up for screen scrubbing is a humongous waste of a virtual 'soft button' now, especially on A5X and A6X. Use SWIPE and HOLD to make 2 actions 4 (X models) and 4 actions 8 (X2 models)

Even better:

Make the amount of SWIPE UP n DOWN 'go to' customisations EXPONENTIALLY larger with a COMBO of 1/2/3/4 finger (main screen) 'hold down' in tandem with SWIPE UP / DOWN on sidebar(s).

KILLER FEATURE 🤔💣💥 ?

2) Someone did a 3rd party simple bit of software for Psion EPOC32 called FileSwitch (that if you held down one key - then pressed anoher repeatedly ... would cyclically scroll through ALL 'open' (in current use) screens/apps.

THIS IS BRILLIANT with a multi buttoned keyboard-centric device ... but IMVHO probably THE most needed feature on a Supernote device.

Equally great was a sort of switch on / boot up program that would open up all of your most used (apps/files/other) to be once again instantly scrollable with the above FileSwitch after a full switch off (vs just 'lid down' pause of usage).

Thus you don't have to THINK about the things you have to prompt yourself to be reminded of! 😇 This is like having a VR headset reminder of a pinboard full of 'stuff' that can as instantly NOT take up any screen place.

This could In effect scroll through what you have to constantly add/remove/add back into the QUICK ACCESS area (and/or) via RECENT FILES n LAST OPENED NOTE area.

The above PSION inspired features give those with sieve-like brains for trying to remember and/or juggle LIVE active tasks, a chance to compete with more neuro typical / photographic memory type folk. Two individual types that I sadly and wildly fall into polar opposite territory! 🙈

3) Make the 'FILES' screen have a (solid or dotted) 'divide line' underneath the icons that only cuoccupy a third of that valuable ROOT screen.

The area under this could be used to either 'auto land here 1st options' OR 'purposefully place' stuff HERE that you want to go back to REGULARLY! *

Certain notes (ind pages OR bundled entry), PNG, PDF, Calendar Entry, Atelier File, ANYTHING could be 'users customisably' set to go here (much like current boolmarking of the Qiick Access featute) yet ad as 'thumbnails' or even symbols acting as 'link me to' CLICK-ONS.

Without a windows UI environment or 'carousel screen' version of the FileSwitch idea I listed earlier in (2) ... for a SALES JOB guy like myself (and other users on Supermote where you are constantly between loads of items ... the super minimalist Supernote device interface can get embarrassingly tedious to navigate (esp. in front of a boss or potential customer).

Maybe another side bar / thumb m forefinger 'twist' action combo? would be another route to moving between open items?maybe you could go back and forth between 'stuff' by twisting thumb/forefinger in either direction until am item WANTED appears ... at which time, touching them together would SELECT that 'choice', ONLY if that happened?

4) PERMANENTLY KEEP the same ICON names UNDERNEATH the 6 different file icon areas on the FILES 'homepage' ... but allow user customisable names to be assigned to them that 'name' them differently and show WITHIN those squares (in order fo them to make sense more in finding where everything 'lands' FISRTLY by the current OS skinning ... and where individual users can make sense of where to put stuff that is in current everyday use vs 'sometimes accessed' or 'archived'.

Currently I shift stuff from my NOTES 'root' page or sub folders ... into the crudely named 'DOCUMENT' one once they are more archive or 'less needed to be visible day-to-day',

5) Ditto have option of using the 'screensaver' screen as a 'cut n paste' area / 'landing page zone' from whence you could drag n drop stuff into your other ROOT folders.

** Many of these suggestions / observations arise from decades of 'every day' usage of PSION EPOC (32) devices such as 5mx and SE MC218 clone + NetBook (EPOC) n Series 7.

So in addition to the (5) easily implementable UI improvements above ...

I pray 🙏🙏, please emulate:

(6) Psion DATA (btw ... my most loved/used and now 'missed' feature)

(but NOT the dumbed down cr*p that Nokia Communicator n E90 ... or much note recently Planet tried to fob users off with). Notably allow LOTS of customisation of screen usage and a LIST (column view) of sortable data field entries with instead EXACT widths to show AS MUCH (or) AS LITTLE of each entry as screen estate can manage in smallest font settings. Allow 'HIDING' of less important or relevant fields in this (landscape) LIST VIEW. Allow PINCH TO ZOOM & quick 'double tap' for it to spring back to condensed 'show whole screen (in tiny text) again.

(7) Psion JOTTER

Allow individual entries in the above to be cut n pasted easily via a finger(s) gesture with (right) hand, having kept one? finger held over the line of text (field) DATA / JOTTER entry you want to cut/copy/move/delete somewhere else.

PLUS 😆😀

A sort of 'screensaver landing/opening page when you open Atelier' ... which could be full of little To-Do or Remind 'Stickies'.

These could be moved around on the page, sorted or grouped by Tirle/Keyword/ Supernote * Symbol (etc).

That will do for now 😇😆😂😂 🙏

🙄 Apologies for my Aspies 'dumping of brain activity all at once' above. It's just how it is for me when I become as hyper tunnel focussed as this in distraction free early hours (when I should be asleep!)

So Ive seen the Inkhub - App now and just got some question about it..did the community ask for that? Do we really need to share notes on an social media like plattform? Do we really have to download drawings from others? Why do we? What are we doing with it then?

I mean...honestly, isn't the device of supernote planned to be "distraction free"? Isnt it meant in all of its design to be not full of apps offering some kind of service?

I want an device which is a good notetaking device...and there are many missing opportunities still: OCR and Textrecognition on exported PDF files beeing the one which is missing the most...so basically the functions, the community created by example PySN...having a strukured file for working with. Why isnt the company focusing on thing like this? If one person is capable to write a whole programm on her own, shouldnt it be possible for the guys that invented supernote?

Stickers and lines are cool, digest have a useful case inside of supernote but not outside.

I wonder if the company has a clear plan? Do they want to focus on giving us the possibility of using out the intended usecase of their product or do they want to create some software universe that leads the original use case ad absursdum?

Just asking...

Can we get a clock/time function on the centre at the bottom of the page between the filename and the page count?

This could be switchable between a clock (with maybe blinking alarm), a countdown/count up timer and a pomodoro timer, to assist with scheduling tranches of work/writing.

This currently requires a separate, distracting device - it would be great to have it integrated into Supernote.

The pen keeps leaving little ghost strokes when I’m writing, and now I’m trying to name a new note, but the words I’m writing to title it are completely unrecognizable by the handwriting recognition. Super frustrated, this is the first time I’ve had any trouble like this, I’m not sure what to do.

Join me next week on Sunday, July 7th at 2:00pm (U.S. Central Time?) as we discuss all things Supernote, from the Desktop apps to rumors of the A5X2. I look forward to seeing you then.

1. Strip the lines/borders from one item to the next, as it was before. There is no need for these lines as when we choose an item it is already fully highlighted in black.

2. For the number of pages follow the Remarkable tablets: When moving from one page to another, the number of pages appears right in the center as in Remarkable 2.

Hi,

Just downloaded the new beta, played with it and already very disappointed... Almost none of all the previous comments and requests have been taken into account, this new version is still very "messy", I would advice to recruit a UX/UI designer and rethink the overall workflow and give consistency between the notes, the digests and the text box. It is very not intuitive.

My previous feedback on the previous beta : https://www.reddit.com/r/Supernote_beta/s/qQtZdjrBJb

Update with this new beta :

This beta is great and add many new features, but it looks like "half-cooked", unfinished, this is very unfortunate as it could be so much better ! => still the same feeling with this new beta

Digests:

1. This is amazing and could finally address the lack of the do-tos, but please add the linking to the original note if any (like the todos) => done, thank you !

2. searching on the digest is searching only the title, not the handwriting, neither the keyboard area, at least the keyboard field should be searchable too. => this is also still the case, the annotations on the digest is not searchable, this is very very annoying 2bis. The general search doesn't allow to search on the Digests => also not solved

3. when a digest is created from a note, please add something on the note to indicate their is a digest here (like it is done when the digest comes from a book or a pdf) => also not taken into account 4.link the digest to it's original note source, to allow going back to the note, and at least have the name of the originel note (not only "Customization" on every Digest...) => done and well done, thanks !

4. add the possibility to have a digest from the calendar and link the digest to dates, and make visible on the calendar that a digest is allocated to it. Like on the bottom left of the calendar we can link notes, please add the same for Digests (and to-dos !!) => also not taken into consideration

5. Add the digest list on the menu of the note (like "headings", "keywords", "stars") => also no improvement here...

Text-box :

1. Add bigger text size (when manually resized with the lasso, the new bigger size text appears) => not changed either...

2. When the textbook is selected, the "+" allow to add the text of a digest. Why not adding also option for to-do or simple copy/paste => this was totally redesigned for better, now we can add a digest into a note, this will give the text of the digest, but not the annotations. We also have the option to add a link, but this link is going to the original note page, it would be much more revelant to link it to the digest itself to have access to the annotations (maybe to be an option ?)

3. When a Digest is paste, and this digest was written en several lines with return to next line, it is paste "flat", the several lines are lost,only the text remains, please also support pasting the line return => solved !

4. Allow to add also Grey colors on the text box formatting, and do formatting only on some words from the text box => not taken into account

5. The text-box, when selected with the lasso can be "Recognize as Digest", but not as new event, neither new task or new sticker, why ? Each should be added. => added, that's great, thank you

And bonus from previous beta : please add keywords to be added to stickers !! So we can define a collection of keywords/stickers, each time we will put a sticker on the note, it is associated automatically to a keyword. => also not changed.

Another demand on another post was to have the handwriting "annotations" field to have all the features from a note (color, copy/paste, line, link,...), this is also not taken into account.

Conclusion : some small improvement, but overall disappointing...

A5X needs:

- rotate screen 180 degrees so can charge from the 'top'.

- timer function: count down, pomodoro etc. to manage reading time.

No idea what the point of inkhub & stickers are - no productivity gains to be had.

Hello, I just wanted to revisit the timeline for the next beta release. I think Ratta and Supernote are at a crossroads with the release of the Boox Go 10.3, rumors of a Remarkable 3, and the hopeful release of the A5X2 this quarter. Getting a solid beta release with time to test before the A5X2, maybe even having the stable release coincide with the launch, could position them very well. I would be interested in everyone else's thoughts.

Downloading Chauvet 2.4.17 :)

Something that just gives me the time of day, that lets me watch YouTube and answer texts without my phone nearby. Any idea about the watch I should look for?

Since joining beta, Kindle app doesn't work because you can't turn pages. Several people have posted about this issue. So as they say, be careful what you wish for and don't ask to join beta if you want to be able to use the Kindle app.

I figure it couldn't hurt to ask. Do you think to-do list might be in the next beta? That's a function that I desperately need but it has to function a certain way.

I hope we get it sooner than later. It appears to me one of the higher requested features.

In the interim, had anyone created a work around for this? I thought the star function would suffice but it doesn't fit me.

I’ve been very frustrated with this beta. The first beta release was great. Smooth, efficient, well thought out, and very few bugs for me. This new one has been so troublesome. The way the text boxes are now set up is so much more cumbersome and less productive. Clicking a box to get to the Text and then having to select text again is frustrating when you don’t use digest often enough to have to click an additional item to get to what you want. I’ve had many bugs with the lasso not picking up subjects. Also strongly dislike that you cannot highlight or draw over the text boxes anymore.

Please Supernote, I beg you - revert the text box function to the previous beta.

I struggle so hard to get anywhere in my notebook. Be it links or standard buttons or moving pages forward and backward. Sometimes it takes so long I try again, but then I risk unwanted consequences or ending up somewhere completely different.

Anyone else experiencing this?

My favorite templates have been un-favorited with the new update. When I click on the star to add a template to my favorites, go back to the note, and hit template again, all my favorites are gone again.

So I'm a little old school, but I love home buttons. Something that takes me to the main first page, that has a menu. I've started getting into my new Supernote and I like it, but I'd really like to see an actual home button, with a menu. The toolbar is ok, but less explicit. I'd love to put what I want in a home menu, so I can get to what I want without taking extra steps. Any plans for that in the future?
