## Future development 



These are just some basic features for MindStone v1, many more are coming (if I find enough of interest and this will probably a premium/paid option):

- 🎯 Obsidian, Notion, VSCode Plugin 

- 🎯 Page Preview (like Obsidian Core plugin)

- 🎯 Andy Sliding pane

- 🎯 Full text search with `Cmd + K`

- 🎯 Infinite canvas for browsing through notes and connections



### Some know issues

This an early version of MindStone, which mean there are bugs and issues. Below are some known issues, that I plan to work on:

- Graphview does not load when clicking on side-bar or click node on graphview, browser reload will refresh it state

- Graph view layout and interaction is still very rough. More UI/UX improvements are needed.

- Transclusion is not working yet.
