Hey @Mitch_Palmer! Once you create a sticky note and enter the edit mode, you’ll see all the available formatting options (and image upload) under the symbol ¶ or after some text is highlighted.

For images, you can also copy & paste or drag & drop them.

Hi Darta

I am a Trello power user, but love the idea what Whimsical can do. Are you planning to add any of the following to the cards soon:

  1. due date

  2. Label Names

  3. Multiple Labels

  4. Reorder Checklists

  5. Checklist groups (multiple within a card)

  6. Powerups for things like customisation (eg: add a “value” to the card like $5,000 then add up groups or boards)

  7. image covers to cards

even a few of those things would help me switch over.

thanks!

Due dates and last updated timestamp would be useful for me.

+1 for due dates in particular.
For me, the way that notion allows me to create fields which are then uniform across all cards made it a proper task-tracking option.

Mainly, i would want:
• due dates
• tags
• last updated

Hi Jack,

Todd from Whimsical’s product team here. Thanks for the feedback!

I wanted to follow up on these requests, particularly tags. We’re currently looking into those and it’d be helpful to gain some more context.

  • What are some examples of tags you’d use?
  • If we had tags, what would these allow you to do?
  • Alternatively, what’s your experience today without them?

If it’s easier to do a quick Zoom and talk through this, feel free to grab some time on my calendar!

Book some time

Thanks,
Todd

Hi Todd,

I think I can share my view with tags, if we have a good search tools that tag(s) may not a MUST, however, tags is a good way to consolidate across the folder/documents. For example, that I can add tags into different docs/borads/projects… with the status “completed, todo, on hold…”. Somedays, if I would like to check my capacity for next items, I can just get into #todo for it.

Tags is a good way for cross search in one go.

My two cents to share with you. Thank you.
