Slack link previews for notes
Note links shared in Slack currently unfurl as plain URLs. Unfurl them with the note title and a snippet so previews are informative.
Add company VAT ID and tax details to invoices
Invoices need our VAT ID Invoices need the company's VAT ID on them. Finance cannot book the receipts without a VAT number and invoice number on them, so company tax details should be added to invoices.
Pure black theme for OLED screens
Pure black theme please Offer a true black theme instead of the current dark theme, which is grey. On an OLED phone a real black background would be much better at night.
Option to pause subscription over the summer
Allow pausing a subscription for a period (e.g. over the summer) instead of only cancelling.
Auto-link meeting notes to Google Calendar events
Meeting notes should attach to the calendar event automatically and show up in the event description. Today links have to be pasted by hand. A workaround would be acceptable for now, but a real fix would be better.
Email notifications at 80% and 95% storage usage
Send email notifications when storage usage reaches 80% and 95%, so users learn about the 10 GB cap before uploads start failing rather than discovering it at the limit. Northwind Notes is used daily for client work, so the surprise hit real work.
Pause subscription instead of cancelling
Add a pause option for subscriptions that keeps the account's data while stopping billing. The customer only uses Northwind Notes during the semester, so a pause option would stop them from cancelling and re-subscribing twice a year. The current behaviour has been like this since the September release.
Annual invoice with VAT number and invoice number
Add support for tax details on the billing profile so that annual invoices include the customer's VAT ID and a proper invoice number. Currently the accountant rejects the receipts because they lack the VAT ID and a proper invoice number. The customer offers to share screenshots or a screen recording.
Landscape mode support for iPad app
Landscape mode on tablets The iPad app is portrait-only. With a keyboard case that is unusable — support landscape orientation. The customer is on the Team plan with three colleagues.
Share sheet target to save Safari links as notes
Add a share-sheet target that creates a note with the link and title when saving an article from Safari, instead of requiring copy-paste. This happens on the desktop app and in the browser.
Store Apple Pencil handwriting in notes as searchable strokes
Support writing with the Apple Pencil on iPad and store the strokes in the note, ideally so the handwriting is searchable later. A workaround would be acceptable for now, but a real fix would be better.
Android widget to open a blank note instantly
Add a 1x1 home screen widget on Android that opens a blank note directly, so a thought can be jotted down without opening the app. Northwind Notes is used daily for client work.
Export to Obsidian-compatible wiki links
When exporting to Markdown, internal note links become absolute URLs. An option to emit [[wiki links]] would make migration to Obsidian painless. It has been like this since the September release.
Match macOS system dark mode automatically
Add a "match system" option so Northwind Notes follows the macOS theme automatically. macOS switches to dark at sunset but Northwind Notes stays light until toggled by hand. A workaround would be acceptable for now, but a real fix would be better.
Sync conflicts silently overwrite the newer version on Windows
When I edit the same note on my laptop and phone within a minute, Northwind Notes keeps whichever device synced last and the other edit is gone. Please show a conflict copy instead of overwriting. This happens on the desktop app and in the browser.
Scrolling stutters in the note list on mobile — shared notebooks
On a mid-range Android phone the note list stutters when scrolling past ~200 notes. Recycling the rows would help. I am on the Team plan with three colleagues.
CSV export of tables inside notes — shared notebooks
I keep small trackers as tables in notes. Exporting a single table to CSV would let me open it in a spreadsheet. I am on the Team plan with three colleagues.
Search takes 8 seconds on notebooks over 5,000 notes — shared notebooks
Since the last release, searching my main notebook spins for 8-10 seconds. Smaller notebooks are instant. I am on the Team plan with three colleagues.
Editor lags when a note has more than 50 images — shared notebooks
Typing in a long note with many screenshots drops characters. Lazy-loading the images would probably fix it. I am on the Team plan with three colleagues.
Purchase orders for enterprise customers — shared notebooks
Our procurement can only pay against a PO. Please support invoice/PO payment for annual plans. I use Northwind Notes daily for client work.
