Lovely update to NotePlan brings a Global Search function (searches happen across Calendar and Notes) and a very nice nested tags function (very similar to Bear’s).

Both functions significantly improve what was already a very nice app. It is now firmly established as my task management environment.

So far, no spontaneous CRIMPs have displaced it - for months! The fact that you can access NotePlan files (Calendar and Notes files) in iCloud directly through any of your favourite Markdown editors just makes it even more attractive. No lock-in here!

Cheers,
Bill

This seems like a really nice feature that will probably make me change the way I organize everything. I know Bear had infinite nested tags that I tried, but didn’t do much with.

I have always been more of an outline person, relying on the outline structure more than a tag structure. But nested tags could change that. I just have to wrap my head around how to change my workflow.

I had conversed with Eduard a while back about possibly adding outlining and folding to Noteplan, similar to TaskPaper. I think it would really make the program stand out and put it well ahead of others like Agenda, but I am not sure he is planning on going that route.

Are most people using “@” or “#” for tags? I had always used @ because of my long use of TaskPaper, but it seems more programs are moving to #?

NotePlan uses @ for mentions and # as hashtags. I think Agenda is the same way. I just want to future proof the notes I make for possible use in other programs.

Now that global search and replace is there this is easy to fix. Just remember to change the first batch to an interim prefix (e.g. + or some other unused character) or else you will wade through notes with only @ or # prefixes….

I use @ for “context” (place, people, etc.) and # for tags, even if the application does not support, or does not make a distinction between @ and #-prefixed metadata. So, even in handwritten notes, I’ll use #make_doc to indicate “this is an action requirement to write a document”. Makes it easier to scan and find what I want.
