Hey there,
I am one of those who would like a bit more Obsidian / Logseq / Noteplan - like features in Devonthink as well. In other words, I would love certain features in the Markdown Editor and free arrangement of the palettes on the right (info, incoming and outgoing links, etc.).
It seems that the developers are already more than busy with other updates and keeping the software up to date, and I appreciate the responsiveness.
Still, I am a bit sad about the more or less uncomfortable note-taking abilities. Of course, one can open any Markdown or Text Editor to work on the notes – and I use this feature. Also, I could – and did – create vaults for the above-mentioned note-taking apps and use their options.
I understand that Devonthink was not created as a note-taking app; it is a trend that started later.
But I think it is important for Devonthink to stay with the primary trend in working with a Mac to be more “note-taking friendly.” Why?
I can imagine that many users would like to put their notes not just in a limited vault as indexed files but rather work in their database with notes and data collected or archived. At least, this is my approach. I had to decide between the comfort of the note-taking apps mentioned above and the comfort and reliability of Devonthink. It is a no-brainer, after all, to choose Devonthink.
But I would love to pay for a new version of Devonthink Pro for the features given in NotePlan and flexible info panels.
So far, from a user since 2003,
Maria
