Nice. I'd suggest automatically adding a todo list that had tasks about discovering all the features when a new user first loads the app. Having an essentially blank screen is going to cause a lot of users to bounce.<p>Also, I'd set<p><pre><code> .workspace { overflow: hidden}
</code></pre>
as I'm getting a double scrollbar in Chrome (Windows 10).
Good stuff. I could see myself using this. A few bits of feedback:<p>- Notes should be clamped to screen. There seems to be no limit to how far off screen I can drag something, after which I cannot bring it back (unless I create another note).<p>- It would be nice if there was some way to snap the notes along a grid so that it's easier to arrange things neatly.<p>- Collapsible notes would be nice (e.g. collapsing the note so that only the header is visible). Right now each tab has a very limited amount of space.
Nice application, thanks.<p>There really needs to be a way to change the order of to-do's.<p>What happens to deleted to-do's? Gone forever?<p>Also CodeOwl combined with graphviz (as shown here- <a href="https://zwischenzugs.com/2017/12/18/project-management-as-code-with-graphviz/" rel="nofollow">https://zwischenzugs.com/2017/12/18/project-management-as-co...</a>) would be very cool- to-do list -> dependency diagram with colours updating as items are checked off...

Thank you all for the great feedback you have given me.
Please join the CodeOwl subreddit to stay in touch, I will be posting updates over there for all the features requested in this thread !<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/codeowl/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/codeowl/</a><p>Happy Coding
Bug report: When I add an invalid link (Like "123") to the Links widget it sends a request to "publicApi/links" which hangs for a few minutes before failing.<p>It looks like you're requesting the URL server-side to provide a preview, you may want to validate the URL before making the request, or catch invalid requests.
To the CodeOwl developers:
How did this Show HN work out for you?<p>What kind of traffic did you get to your site? Did people give it a solid test-drive? Did they offer good suggestions, find bugs, etc?<p>Thanks.
Nice tool. I would make urls just clickable and hyperlink them. CodeOwl may not have access to everything I paste there and some urls may be broken if you don't have access.
Looks nice, but I'd save everything to local storage when it's not saved to the server. I expected it to be still there when I press F5.<p>Also, when you are dragging an item, make sure it get's the highers z-index, you don't want the tile you are holding to appear below another one while dragging.
I love it, a small project space manager.<p>But what does it use for storage? Do you have a backend or is it all browser storage? I assume backend since Firefox never prompted me about using browser storage.<p>Reason I ask is that all free things come to an end. Just like Taiga.io, which I used before for minor project management.
This is exactly the kind of application my life needs! I've been using the Notes section of the toolbelt of Sublime.<p>edit- autosave would be great though. I made all these notes, then left for an hour (without saving), when I came back the page refreshed itself and everything was gone.
Very cool man. I could definitely see myself using this. Is there a mode to set new notes to tiling mode rather than down a list? Something similar to <a href="https://i3wm.org/" rel="nofollow">https://i3wm.org/</a>
Random bug: All panes seem to accept pressing <enter> as valid input. The URL pane seems to spin forever if you just press <enter>.<p>Neat though, agreed with adding a todo to help the user navigate their first time through.
Feature request: Search. If I don't have the ability to search search through all my Notes/Todos/Code/Links, then it's kinda useless to me.
I like it a lot, though. Thumbs up.
Looks interessting. Is there an export?<p>Kanban might also be something to strive for. This should be easily implementable by just adding a column- or grid-layout with title-element at the top, per tab.
nice work!<p>I couldn't figure out how to exit the full screen interactive code view.<p>The button to delete a todo and "check" a todo are pretty close together, easy to click the wrong one. maybe move the check to the left side of the text?<p>adding links is really slow.
nice work, looks very polished from the outset.<p>Couple of things:
- Items don't reflow when you remove them? I only added loads of notes and removed the top two, but the rest stayed off the screen.
