if anyone uses dynalist, text on there is also centered

it’s interesting how so few things besides “write!” have the combination of:

1. treeview
2. + centered text

the situation is obvious tho:

- coder editors commonly (well not commonly, always, always) have treeview
- cos it is obviously an important and helpful feature
- but text is not at centered margin because they are meant for code, and are left aligned

and for software that has centered text like gdocs and many other things,

- they dont have treeview, because they obviously do not understand what is important, and neither do their users
- a user, a common user, would never understand what is important cos they’d just use what is there, like any mindless person would

it’s just funny & interesting how so few things besides “write!” have two simple combinations, and such basic features as well


what this means for society at the current point in time is (until i run into those softwares):

* the lack of clean design (centered text) + extremely important functionality (treeview)
* tho the treeview problem is mitigated by users using a separate (but good) software call a file explorer
* if and only if the notes/files/docs/pages were on desktop, and not the web/cloud
