What are /r/CraftDocs' favorite Products & Services?

Their 2.0 release notes says 6-12 months, with tags the first mentioned on the 'organization' dotpoint. I'm personally hoping they come quicker–I'd love to switch from Bear, but nested tags fits my organizational methodology a lot better than a traditional folder hierarchy.

Hey, you can use Craft online through the web app (not sure if it supports the day notes though). Alternatively, you can export tasks directly off of the SQL file stored by Things on your Mac. That can be a bit tricky but if you wanna go down that path I’m happy to help!

I can’t take credit for this template as it is based off of something I saw in a video on YouTube, but I like the simple yet structured nature of this meeting note template.

Older meeting notes will be grouped into pages, creating an ongoing list of meeting notes I can reference for that client or department etc.

I like this template because I can drag in meetings from the new calendar/daily note feature. And I like that by adding a date, I can see it on the calendar/daily note page too.

what I mean is when I am using an external keyboard, I would like for the TE snippets to work. Textexpander calls these ios apps Textexpander-Enhanced Apps

I don't know if you have looked at walling, but maybe it is something you might like. And they would be putting out tables pretty soon with the option of sorting and some basic types (checkbox, date, text).

Do you use this integration or the user made extension (didn’t find the link yet)? If the last one, you’ll need to contact the indie developer of the extension. It’s not coming from Craft itself.

Certainly impressive... I can imagine the efforts required to maintain it. It looks like a digital garden. This is mine. https://www.craft.do/s/prWu9ohKSgta1T

I'm curious, what is the purpose of all this? What's your motivation?

Craft should keep data locally by default, so it’s always available. You could test this by force closing Craft, putting your iPhone in airplane mode, and restarting the app.

‘From start, Craft has been offline-first. Meaning we store all your (textual) data on your devices as well as in the cloud. You can access & edit even if offline, and changes will sync back once you have internet connection. This means even if our servers are down or inaccessible, you can still use (read, write, export) your data.’

Craft is at the center of my blogger workflow which is documented in this recent post: "My Blogger Workflow As of 2021-12". Also, you can find my digital garden, all created with Craft, here. These will give you a better idea of the place Craft is having in my numeric life. In summary, it is my second brain for storing information tidbits, writing and publishing on my websites.

Not really. Here are intentions for 2022: https://www.craft.do/whats-new/b/623ABE95-9BB9-4005-9829-7330752CCC16/v2.0_-_Craft_update

Here is the article that Craft published you can read. I know from the iOS app you can still share things with different apps. Craft was created from the ground up to run on Apple OS devices. They are constantly releasing updates and just getting better and better in my opinion.

For example, if I made a list in Craft and wanted to send it to Things then I still can do that from the iOS version of Craft.

I am not sure if that totally answered your question but hopefully it helps some.

I certainly use Craft for content creation… consider bookmarking numericcitizen meta blog for the details. Craft is a writing application. Now, if you’re talking about using Craft to publish from within the app… you can get a peek at my digital Garden to get a sense of its possibilities. In the next future, you’ll be able to publish directly to blogging platforms like Ghost using Craft X extensions currently in development. Hope this helps.

It isn't specifically mentioned in their latest update notes to 2.0. They laid out a roadmap there: https://www.craft.do/s/lEjdSXBpq9jSgg

1. Editor Experience: Writing and creating content in Craft today is already amazing and we want to take this to the next level. Specifically, we will be focusing on improved media handling (images, sketching, files, embeds), further blurring the lines between the block-based and text-based editing experience. We'll continue to enhance performance so that Craft runs ever more efficiently on your computer, using less memory and less power, which is good news for your battery life.

2. Organisation and Navigation: Craft already supports a number of ways to both organize and navigate your content. We want to extend its capabilities by introducing tags, improving on backlinks, as well as providing easier ways to jump to the information you need on all devices. This includes features like seeing all tasks on a single page, improved search and easier access to navigation (especially on iPhone). We also want to inspire people on how to use Craft and will be introducing templates.

3. Person-to-person workflows: Content created with Craft will often get shared with a number of people, both for collaboration and distribution purposes. We will improve our real-time collaboration with comment notifications, better team management, and improved secret link capabilities (the ability to share a link for co-editing in the browser, expanded link customization, SEO, and custom domain).

Additionally, they are working on an extension platform that opens up some APIs, but it doesn't seem to leave room for an OCR engine to attach and add data within Craft that would be searchable. I agree that the addition of an OCR tool would be helpful and hopefully they will consider it down the line.

For now, I use DEVONthink and Craft together to manage both needs (Craft for my thoughts, DEVONthink for other ideas).

I emailed them yesterday and they quickly replied to me confirming that this is indeed one of the most requested features, and that it's on their roadmap :-)

Also, they just published this post, where they've confirmed it's on the works!

(1) If you use iCloud for syncing then you have more control over security but you will sacrifice some functionality. (2) This I really would love to see and it's been on my feature request list since day one over here https://www.craft.do/s/K73vzG6zV0uPzx

Hello!

FYI, the TextExpander keyboard should work on any iOS app that allows 3rd-party software keyboards. However, due to some particular restrictions in iOS, third-party software keyboards like TextExpander don't receive keystrokes from hardware keyboards such as Bluetooth keyboards or the iPad Pro Smart Cover or Folio keyboards. Because of those restrictions, when using an external hardware keyboard only apps that support the TextExpander SDK can expand abbreviations.

u/Wonderful_Buy9326 FYI, there is a workaround to use TextExpander snippets (including fill-ins and formatted snippets) with a hardware keyboard. By using Slide Over on iPadOS, you can bring up TextExpander next to the field you're typing in. That way you can drag and drop the snippets you want to expand into the active field.

If you're not seeing this work in Craft, please let us (and the Craft team) know.

We know this isn't as easy as just typing a snippet and watching it expand the way it normally does. Obviously we'd prefer all app experiences on iPads with hardware keyboards to be as easy as those with direct TextExpander integrations. We're continuing to look for ways to improve the iOS experience - thanks for bringing this up!
