iOS: simlify notes syncing UI #6

Closed orionrush closed 2 years ago

orionrush commented 3 years ago

When syncing Markdown files, which is mainly how I use NeuraCache I have to scroll past a host of services that I don't use to get to the 'sync' button. Im finding as Im bringing on a new category of flashcards I spend a bit of time, syncing and resyncing them.

It would be nice if in the app setting you could enable or disable the services you actually use shorten that list a bit.

Also, if the settings for these sources were moved to a more central 'services'(?) section of the app's preferences, then options like "select folder to observe" could also be moved there, further simplifying this UI.

Perhaps there are more intuitive places to add sync functionality? Where might people contextually want to sync their notes?

For example maybe under the (...) menu in the category notes list, there could be a 'sync category' option, whereby the sources for that category or file type would be synced? Maybe this spot isn't ideal, but these are interesting questions to ask.

Again this is another issue that relates more to the app UI rather than the Markdown functionality, however, it does have to do with how I interact with Markdown in the UI :). If you create a repo for the iOS app to collect issues, then I'd happily move these observations there.

Thanks @orionrush

These are great observations. I was thinking about two ideas for this issue:

  1. pull-down list of notes to run sync on all connected sources.
  2. A sync button on the right bottom of the notes list (similar to study) to run sync on all connected sources.

This repo is fine for these types of issues 👍 (markdown related)

Will be deciding what is the best way to solve this.

I would love to see this feature!
