Craft UI iOS concept - what do you guys think?
my reasoning:
- Craft on mobile is great when it comes to native gestures and drag‑and‑drop.
- Craft on mobile is the worst when it comes to working with more than one note simultaneously, switching between notes requires a lot of clicks.
In terms of working with multiple notes, I would rank note‑taking apps as follows:
- Obsidian is best (notes as tabs is how it should be; opening notes can be combined with creating the note, and it’s amazing because you can already see if you have already created a similar note thanks to full‑text fuzzy search).
- Notion is second (you can long‑tap to go back to home, which allows almost instant switching between recent notes thanks to the top row; search is always on‑screen from any note, which is useful; creating a new note is also always on screen, which is very useful).
- Apple Notes third (you can go to recent notes from the … menu from any note, which requires some getting used to but still works; creating notes from any note is also possible).
- Craft Docs forth (there is no way to go back to the home screen quickly, no way to search from any note, no way to switch to recent notes, no way to create a note while you are in a note, no shortcuts to open home; the only way to bypass it is to use a shortcut for creating a new note and notes search [assigning it, e.g., to an action button], which requires setup and a mind shift).
The bottom bar is cluttered with things that are rarely used, e.g. the edit button is mostly a duplicate of just tapping on the note (dragging to place content is very nice, but it should be on long‑tap plus, not a dedicated button); the dedicated page‑style button is also space‑wasting because you don’t style your page so often – it would be perfectly fine to have the style of the page only in the … menu.
