Slack convo 2/17/20:

Jann: When you are going for full journals, I think a “build your own journal “ option would be great. For example the workflow goes:
- Select your journal style
- Select the pages you need to get started ( pick from available )
- After the user picks the pages are organized in the order they need them
- When you add a new page you have the option to select from preexisting pages in that journal set I.e add a new daily page, and a to do page
- Some items are clearly single sided pages, would be good to be able to select which side they go on when you’re assembling the journal

Eva: I was just thinking the same today! Selecting and arranging pages before importing

Claire: Love this! I did some thinking-on-paper about that a while ago. I liked the idea of dynamic pages, so certain journal parts “did stuff” like a post-it note that automatically knew today’s date or a bullet that would automatically change to an X or fade out when I tapped it to show completed item, that sort of thing. I can see Zinnia totally taking over so many other apps, in the future. Why use any other calendar or task list, when zinnia gets to that point? This app is going to take over the world.

Jann: I had the choose theme first as I think it would be quite difficult to change the look especially if you have a lot of handwriting in it (as everything would then move around :thinking_face:). I’d imagine that would only work if only the border or fonts changed in the spread, although I could be wrong and this could be fine ahaha

• Charts, tables, graphs that can be sorted and/or do basic functions / equations

• I would like to be able to use tables and graphs the same way excel does. Adding excel sheets or graphs to better track things. When you add numbers in the table, they appear in the graph

• Ability to add / insert more line to templates. I often use the notes template however once I’ve added information I am unable to insert or add lines and have to shift everything just to add additional information to the respective section based on relevance.

• Ability to insert simple table, insert date/time, more advanced text control. It would be amazing if we could add ultra-simple grids, date/time, and have more advanced text control. For example: bill-tracking or financial planning BuJo templates

I’ve created my own tabs and would like for them to be available on every page without having to go to every single page and paste it there. If I could just select an object and choose “paste to all pages” or “apply to all pages” it would make using links much easier.

Example: I’m making tab for a Digital Journaling Bible and want to be able to access different books from every page through tabs on the right. Being able to add this object to every page would save me from having to turn and paste to every page individually.
