Hi, You won the jam !
I would like to discuss by mail with you about a possible L.I.N.K jam. Could you contact me by email or give me your email address here ?
Nice tool, I love the minimalistic yet practical setup. For me, the con is the inability to copy text. But other than that, it's very good.
Thank you very much!
I’m currently working on an update that’ll fix some bugs and add some features I ran out of time to complete. Copy, cut, and pasting text is one of those features.
It’s really nice and well done. I love the style of the interface. In my opinion there is really very little to add to make it a perfect tool :
A way to select several boxes with a selection rectangle (e.g. with shift + clicking and dragging)
Moving all selected boxes at once
Ctrl-C Ctrl-X Ctrl-V on boxes
Unicode support (app crash if I type “é”)
Thank you for your feedback. My goal is to create a tool that stays out of the way and makes it as easy as possible to get ideas onto “paper”.
A lot of that stuff was planned but had to be cut due for the jam deadline (and at one point Unicode did work but something broke along the line).
I’ll be working on fixing those issues and adding a few minor usability tweaks in the next week or two.
I’m glad you liked it!
This is a great app, I remember some people asking for an app like this on a forum about note-taking apps once. Most note-taking apps focus more on branching which is good for big projects but not for saving everyday random ideas that come to your mind.
It's a nice idea, just a little more polishing of this app and some executable builds would make it better.
Thank you for your feedback.
My goal is to make an app that makes it as easy and painless as possible to get ideas out of my head and written down. So many that I tried either make it easy to keep organized but want me to do so before I’ve even fully expressed my idea or were just clunky to use. Which is fine if the idea was already fully worked out but just needs to be organized. Most of my ideas are not.
I’ll be ironing out all the wrinkles in the next week or two, fixing bugs and adding some usability features, so stay tuned!
The concept is pretty good. The only bad thing is the lack of an option to delete notes. Things I suggest doing in the future: Copying text from notes; changing the theme of the tool; Unicode support (if possible).Also, I couldn't save notes.Saving is either broken or not yet implemented (I didn't look into the code (even if I did, I wouldn't understand anything)).
You should be able to delete notes by selecting them and clicking the “Delete” key. If you’re currently editing the note, the “Delete” key will instead remove characters ahead of the cursor. You can also undo deleting notes by pressing Ctrl+Z.
You should be able to save (using Ctrl+S).
To create a new file (which should allow you to save), create an empty text file named, say: “spoodys_note.link” (without quotes). Then drag and drop the file onto the app which will load the file. Add notes and press Ctrl+S to save. Otherwise it’ll save in the default spot:
%appdata%/Akciom/L.I.N.K./default.link.And there was Unicode support, but it must of broke at some point (now its just throwing errors). I’ll have to look in to it.
Thank you for your feedback. Some of the features (especially text editing and loading/saving) were done in quite a hurry so there’s likely some bugs I need to squash.
I also plan on adding more keyboard shortcuts and on screen buttons as well, but ran out of time for the jam’s deadline.
Thank you for reply.I think the saving problem was caused by unicode characters in file's path.
Nice to know. I’ll check it out. Thank you!
