Thanks for the feedback. I added this functionality :)

Thanks. For possibility to delete everything, I have to implement a selection for multiple blocks. This, restore and backup will definitely be implemented in the near future.

I mean, there are things where we can avoid additional actions, for example: We can enter text and a new structure block will be autocreated, no need to click "add block" button before. We can cut whole block by Ctrl+X, without select text before.

Sure, more complex functions will require buttons or something.

It isn't. Maybe someday
stan-donarise··on Show HN: Structpad: notepad-database hybrid that helps you use abstract thinking
Definitely yes, I plan on it.

I'll think about colors, thanks.

Thanks for the feedback and advice

I would be very grateful if you could explain. Do you mean missing some features? Or a need for better instructions for use?

Thank you for the kind words and feedback!

Sorry, in a few days I will add an export and import function. And will build electron app later, as it will be more convenient than export/import. Yes, Structpad isn't well polished now. But I posted it anyway, as the purpose of the post was to find out people's interest. Much work expected :)

Thanks for the feedback on shortcuts. I plan to build an electron app so that it allows you to synchronize data between devices over a local network or by export / import (a mobile application is also planned). I also plan to implement the export of not only raw data, but also note files in some common format.

Thank you for all the references! The topic is interesting and closely related to Structpad
stan-donarise··on Show HN: Structpad: notepad-database hybrid that helps you use abstract thinking
Thank you. I love your thoughts! Mine are similar :) So I will implement something like that. (Also, if someone likes the idea of Structpad and wants to work with me, you can email me at contact@structpad.com)

Interesting, I would be grateful to know more about what it could be if you let me. If you find out it.

Thanks, I like to use it as a way to keep a journal, put all sorts of ideas in there and look at them from different angles.

Thank you, I haven't heard about Xanadu, I'll take a look. And liquid text, is it app for reviewing and annotating PDFs or something else?

Thanks, maybe the "About" page should start autobuilding from scratch after the visit. Won't be annoying?
stan-donarise··on Ask HN: Tech stack suggestion for a simple desktop app
Hi, for this case I think you can use Grist, it might be the fastest way. There you create data tables and set up logic for calculated columns using python. After that you can use https://support.getgrist.com/widget-custom/#html-viewer to generate receipts

I like Grist and have made a few tools for it that might come in handy for you: Docxtemplater widget: https://community.getgrist.com/t/generate-docx-from-template.... Electron version for offline work on windows: https://github.com/stan-donarise/grist-core-electron

But if you'd rather use this project to improve your programming skills, I suggest using something more challenging.
