Just trying it this afternoon - experimenting with already existing Obsidian folders (vaults). Seems like a nice presentation, but so far it does not seem to be able to do the most simple task that Obsidian also failed at: arrow key scrolling up and down through a list of notes in the sidebar.

I came to these apps from The Archive and such lack of an obvious feature surprises me: am I missing something?

Thanks.

Oh wow, you’re right – I hadn’t actually noticed (I tend to use my mouse, but would certainly prefer keyboard arrows for large data sets)!

I shall let the amiable Rajat know!

I am thinking about going Pro: Can someone please confirm that the Kanban view is working? I am interested in knowing whether the individual items that you push around on a Kanban board can be _existing_ notes rather than items that only exist inside one other note.

Also, if Kanban items can originate from different parts inside your hierarchy of files, is there any hint about the context (visual or otherwise) the note originates from?

Thanks

Yo Prion,

Er, there isn’t a kanban view in Octarine (although I’m sure the developer would happily create one at some point). There’s a “graph” feature, like Obsidian’s Graph feature, that allows you to see how your notes are interlinked. I like the idea of a kanban (which I use quite a lot in Obsidian), but am even more interested in the developer’s plans for a more sophisticated task management function.

Cheers,
Bill
