I use SimpleNote a lot on both a laptop and Android phone. On a laptop if you accidently delete part of a note you can simply press CTRL & Z to undo. However today I delete part of a note from my Android phone (accidently), what would be ideal is if there was an “undo” option available in SimpleNote via the menus or is there a way to enable it?
[...] While these steps explained above can probably recover all or most deleted text, the process is combersomb and complicated and absolutely limits the kind of speed and flow of work I am used to with Xiaomi Notes, in which undo and redo are always present and continually used buttons.
The lack of Undo is a showstopper for me. It’s crazy. History is not sufficient. The first time I lost a bit of data with a slip of the finger on Android I had to roll all my notes back to Keep.
A couple of years later, still waiting for an response from the devs about this...looks like I'm not alone (judging by the comments from the forum)
So, I understand that you can undo/redo by using the "History" feature, but the "History" feature requires accessing the server (and hence mandates internet access), so I'm unable to undo/redo when I have no internet or simply can't access the server.
What
Make it possible to undo/redo when there's no internet (like how other note/text editors have always been able to do so offline).
Why
It's very common that users may not have internet 100% of the time (e.g. on a plane, taking a subway, wifi/data outage, server down, etc.), but users should always be able to undo/redo (like in almost all other note/text editors). Undo/redo is one of the most basic features, it's really frustrating when you accidentally delete some texts but have no way to recover them.
How
There're a couple of approaches, either/both could be considered:
Please kindly let me know if any clarification is needed.
