| The subject says it all---instead of being limited to 10 notes per page, I'd like to be able to choose how many, say 50 per page, or all of them.
Right now deleting notes bounces you back to the very first page, which is a little disorienting when you're on page four or whatever.
Thanks! |

Hi Minchua,
This has been a source of a lot of discussion within the developers as well. I think all of us want your wish as well, we are trying to figure out how to make it a reality, but keep the speed that we have now when we click on a note to enter into the editor.
There are two main problems with adding more notes to the summary view, the first one is the number of concurrent editors we have running. For the sake of speed, every note you currently see is running inside of an editor that is fully loaded in your browser, each of these editors use memory as well as take a significant amount of time to load. We sacrificed a few seconds of load up speed for nearly instantaneous switching between notes. If you look at other applications that use editors, GMail coming to mind, when you click on the area to start writing your email, there is a slight delay, we felt a similar delay would be detrimental to the user experience if the user frequently switches between notes.
The second problem with displaying many many notes and is having the mouseovers work well with the full note text. I personally use Ubernote to collect and save a lot of development/programming/math related articles I find on blogs, on Wikipedia, reddit, digg, etc. Many of these pages are VERY large. A strange quirk in all of the supported browsers is that both the displaying(rendering) of these notes and any subsequent scrolling is magnitudes faster when all of the note text is contained within an editor instead of being displayed directly and then parts of the text is hidden for the summary view. All of the supported browsers have displayed this behavior, IE, Firefox, and Safari.
All that being said, this is a software product, and in software, there is almost always a way, I am pretty confident we just have to find the appropriate solution, because this is a feature that we want too.
