[Feature suggestion] Make URLs clickable #26

Closed dubst3pp4 closed 1 year ago

At first: many thanks for this application, :-) Really missed a usable sticky notes app on Gnome!

As a user, I want to click a URL which is in a note, so that the default browser opens immediately and displays the website of the URL.

thanks. this is a good feature! I'm planning to start working on this soon(ish)

@vixalien Considering all the requests regarding formatting: #2 #13 and this one.

Would it make sense to introduce some Markdown subset?

hmm this looks like a nice idea but would not look very good imo.

sticky notes is a WYSIWYG editor and introducing a markdown editor would remove the WYSIWYG features. and btw formatting already exists with formats like bold, italic, etc which is already like 50% of all markdown features. headings are not really necessary in this context but lists would be a nice additon

Oh, I don't mean making markdown apparent, but supporting a subset of markdown to write notes. However, this would be kind of bad for links as it requires too much typing...

I agree with you that it is not such a good idea :sweat_smile:

Here's a full list of all the features supported by the (original) markdown syntax

Block Elements

Span Elements

Miscellaneous

As you can see, we're pretty close. the only thing left is:

I'd say we are pretty far along lol. no need to support markdown when most of the features it supports are supported (or planned to be supported)...

I'd like to hear your thoughts though
