| | It seems to me that since for each category you get a list of the notes, and that list can quickly get long, you want to provide the ability to expand and collapse notes. I'd imagine doing a few things: Expand and collapse the notes into their header, when you hover over them show the first few lines of the note in a pop up to help users narrow it down, and let people re-order the notes in each section. I'll acquiesce that these capabilities may be here but I gave myself a few minutes to try to do them and wasn't able to figure out any way. |

I like the idea of expand and collapse. How would you see the ability to re-order? We were always thinking order by title, create date, and modified date within any tag or set of notes displayed. Is a manual reorder important too? And would you want to keep that and save it as some sort of ordered notebook section?

| I agree that collapsing and expanding headers would be really useful. Most of the time, I'm looking for a specific note. But, unless it's got a unique tag or something, there's often no way to have it be the sole note on the screen or to have it there to the exclusion of other notes. With collapse-to-header features, that would really help when you just want to look at that one note. This plus being able to resize notes would really give the user control so that the note can display just how they want it.
I don't have enough notes to have really run into a situation where I want to reorder manually, but I could see myself getting there pretty easily. I could see myself using it for rating importance/frequency of use. For instance, if I've got 10 "work" tagged notes, often there'll be one or two that I use most often and the rest are maybe for reference but not used that often. But it would be really annoying to have to scroll through the reference notes to get to the most-used ones EVERY TIME. If you could reorder manually and have that saved as a persistent setting whenever you bring up your "work" tag, that would be super awesome. Perhaps you could add another variable to notes: an 'importance' variable that could be used to order the notes independent of date, title, etc, which would be the default sort variable when you bring up a set of notes? |

The collapse/expand has been one of the top requested features, so I have it in test right now. Expect a basic version of it with the next version!
Thanks for the suggestions,
