Hi, I couldn't find an email address anywhere, so I hope it's okay that I write here.
I've just started using Ducklingmemo and so far it seems like it's everything I need it to be (simple, stylish and easy to use). I have encountered a few bugs and other oddities though:
- when the app is open and you accidentally click the duck icon in the task bar, I get an error message, "The process is already running", and then it promptly rearranges all of my notes! This is quite frustrating, especially since I keep clicking the icon thinking it'll open the settings menu, which is what intuitively makes the most sense to me.
- I have had a note disappear (I don't know what exactly happened, but I clicked somewhere on the bar with the title, it made a transition as if it had been made bigger, but then was gone - it wasn't in the history panel either). I solved it by clicking on "Display icon in Taskbar and TaskSwitcher", where I found it using the keyboard shortcuts to toggle through the open applications (it showed up in it's normal size).
- I wish the "Snap assist" function had a margin setting, so that the notes always had like a 20 px border of space to both the edge of the screen and all the other notes. Having them squooshed tightly together doesn't look great.
- some of the settings options could really use a description. What does "Remember virtual desktop" mean for example? Other things I've figured out, but extra information would have made me feel more confident in how to use the program. Like, at first I thought the "Text pasting format" was about rich text formatting in general and not just when pasting text in from elsewhere.
- the very useful keyboard shortcuts are difficult to find if you don't already know about them. Having that guide front and center on the first page of the settings would be very useful.
- also, a future request: I love that the bullet point and strikeout works so seamlessly (although it'll take me a moment to get used to the shortcuts), but I kind of miss having a checkbox for my to-do's. Maybe that could be a setting? So that the keyboard shortcut is the same, but visually you see an empty or completed checkbox (ideally with the strikout only applying to the text part instead of including the bullet/box too). Maybe with a sub-setting that emits the strikeout completely when using a checkbox depending on one's preferences.
I think that's all that's bothered me so far. I was about to suggest more colour combinations, but just now realised that that is already a function! I must have missed it, or just assumed that the options where limited, since that is what I saw from a lot of other apps I tried.
Honestly, I'm really impressed with this app. I'm still new to using it, but I think this will make a real difference for me (I'm hoping to get all of my random to-do's out of Google Calendar and instead sort them here, so that I'm less overwhelmed by all the small stuff that's not as time sensitive).
So thank you for making this.
Sincerely,
Erica
