Springnote's Transformation Story - Chapter 3 / Part 1   [ Link UI ]

Hey everyone~ =)

It's already chapter 3 of Springnote's transformation story. : )

In our last release we previewed improvement on the link UI as well as multi-uploading.

We actually wanted to speed up the process and release the new link UI, so we have called this chapter 3 part 1.

(The remaining items previewed for chapter 3 will be released soon in chapter 3 part 2 =) )

''Link UI Improvement~''

When asked what Springnote's strongest point is... what comes to mind?

As for me, the formation of pages through the use of links comes to mind first.

However, with strange wording and organization we've realized that it may have caused much confusion when actually trying to use links.

Therefore we have listened to your comments and opinions on how to improve linking and now we have finally modified it.

Let's now look at what's changed  : )

1. Addition : Link edit / remove feature

   

   We've realized what a hassle it has been for users not being able to modify their links.

   Now after you have created a link, by just moving the cursor over the link, a small dialog box will appear that will allow you to edit or remove the link.

2. Linking - Now simplified and more convenient

   

   • Instead of having to switch between tabs on either you are trying to link to another Springnote page or an outside page, we have put this together. So you can now either type in a web URL or just type the title of a Springnote page.
   • We have also added a button 'Find a Page' to locate pages from your page hierarchy so that you don't have to remember the names of your pages.

3. Addition of Option to Open Link in a New Window

    

   With many requests on adding this feature, we now support setting links to open in a new window.

   • When creating a link, click the [option ▼] button to expand the dialog box and choose whether you want the link to open in a new window or not.
   • By clicking the  button when you hover over a link, you can also set preexisting links to open in a new window.

So, what do you think about our improved link UI?

You can immediately check this out right now by just pushing Ctrl + Space.

We ask everyone to continue to leave comments and opinions in our forums or through email to springnote@openmaru.com.

We will continue to work hard on improving Springnote~ Thanks to all our users! =)
