Link.md challenges for the brave

UI

• Profile name differs from the one specified in Obsidian profile.

• The unauthorized page when following a shared link that you don't have access to look a bit bare bones

• It would be nice if you do not get the This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave — information you’ve entered may not be saved. warning when you attempt to change settings. (Make the settings a modal?)

• Toolbar does not get shown when selecting a math block.

• All modals are using the browser native popups on firefox

• Hovering over an item in the right side bar like an uploaded image while another user is doing something makes the icons flicker

• Leaving a document even though the note itself is unchanged, still prompts you for a This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave — information you’ve entered may not be saved..

• When going to a linked Wikilink, returning gives you the aforementioned warning, but also, leads you back to the link.md page, and not the page you were currently writing in.

• There are no loading states or loading spinners for e.g. Publishing a note

Sharing

• You cannot make an user co-Admin of a note.

• The invite an agent text field is quite hard to read

Editing

Edit Mode

• Multi-line comments are not editable? (as in )

• Wikilinks starting with headings do not show suggestions ([[#)

Suggest Mode

• Cannot delete backwards in a bullet point to remove it.

• Inserting within a deletion does not split the deletion into a substitution + deletion, but instead mangles it into ~~}

• Changes in codeblocks do not get marked as annotations (but maybe this is for the better).

• Inserting parentheses places the cursor after the last parenthesis, while it should be in between the two.

Collaboration

• Renaming the file while another user is active in it, eventually(?) causes the name to roll back for both users, prompting them to accept the old name

• Cursor jumps around when other user is active in same note, causing frequent and very annoying jumps.

  • Sometimes when another user types the cursor moves backwards
  • Sometimes when you are typing, the cursor randomly moves backwards for a millisecond.

• Apparently you can get diconnected but the status indicator in the top right still shows a green dot, causing your edits to go to the void

Other

• Sometimes when moving the cursor over a link in edit mode enters me into the link change menu that I need to exit using esc, but most of the time the cursor just moves over the link like normal text

• Wiki link suggestions don't include images, so adding a link to an already uploaded image can be annoying, considdering the names of images (image_1781252471076_1.png)

CriticMarkup

• ADD, where the #REF represents the author/timestamp attribution, should not be marked as a comment. If this is supposed to be conform to standards, then it should be something different from a comment markup. Maybe something custom (e.g. {@@ #REF @@}?)

• Paragraphs are supported insertions/deletions according to the Criticmarkup Toolkit

[...] Paragraphs may also be deleted. [...]

Future Features

• Restoring a snapshot from history could also be a CriticMarkup diff.

• Attachments cannot be viewed under Files.

Nits

• Logo does not fit in with the rest of Obsidian's branding - even if its very nice.

• Anonymously edit notes?
