Update the Logos Web App!

Thanks for the update! Great stuff!!

What triggers the "Language" facet? It's not visible and creating selection highlights does not cause the Language facet to show and there is no option to anchor a note to the headword in the right-click menu.

Creating a note without note text displays a small blank popup. Maybe should popup something like <<Empty note>>.

Under "Resource" facet. Abbreviated titles need a popup with full title.

Popup for numbers next to facet that show "N current/N Total" do not seem to be calculating correctly.

Facet list is getting long enough now to make a filter box desirable.

Will Dates always be show me everything from x til now? Or will there be other ranges? Show me what I wrote that is older than 1 year. Show me what I wrote last Jun-Jul. Don't know how desirable that would be; just throwing it out there. (Mainly because I was wondering about bulk operations.) Select certain facets, then select a subset of those notes to bulk add a tag, for example.

Changing layout to a different number of columns and then resizing the three sections of the note window goes wonky.

I haven't even bothered looking at notes on the web app since they don't sync with the others. So I have a question.

I know I can close the left most column (you're calling it "facets" strange name BTW) with the menu that looks like 3 vertical lines above it (you called it hamburger menu which is common name in mobile). However, the middle column. Will I be able to close or resize that. It's huge and is there I guess just to show me notes I have. But It takes up so much space that I'd like to dedicate to my notes while I'm editing them. 

Also, will notes created in this Notes system be migrated to the new syncing version when it ships sometime in 2028? <g>

I don't see myself test driving the web app every time there is an update to figure out how close it is to being usable as a legitimate alternative to the desktop app. What I would like to know is whether Faithlife has given itself a timeline to achieve this and will let us know when we are there.

Our focus right now is on notes... and we share the desire to start syncing notes from the web app to other platforms; thus we have prioritized that work.

What is the plan for roll-out? This is the biggest change I believe I've seen since I started using Logos as far as potential impact, by far. I know many people have TONS of notes and I know that they are critically important to them. Just curious about how safe the roll-out will be. Not just bugs (there won't be any), but User expectations? Changes to workflow? Full feature parity with old system?

Will the new & old notes exists side-by-side for a while? Will there be a roll-back plan? An extended beta? Followed by an Opt-in for experienced forum members with lots of notes that don't normally beta?

I'm sure you've put a lot more thought in to the roll-out than I have and an answer isn't necessary right now. But this seems like a HUGE change, with a potentially HUGE impact. And I'm just worrying out lout. But also looking forward to seeing it evolve.

The center column can't be adjusted yet. The center column when showing notes is too big at the smallest size. The notes column is not big enough.

Also no answer on whether current web app notes will migrate to the new system when it's available. If they will be available, I'm more likely to use it. But I won't till I learn that or till they finish notes.

Any info on this question Alan Palmer?

The web app notes are the new system. Eventually desktop/mobile will migrate to this. 

I know that eventually all will run the same system of notes. What I want to hear from Faithlife employee is if the notes I add to the Web app will be preserved in the new system or will they go away? I will not use the Web app regularly until I get confirmation from FL.

Alan Palmer (Faithlife) said:

Kevin, yes they are stored in the new system and will remain there.

Once we migrate existing notes users will see both notes taken now on the web app as well as previous desktop/mobile notes.

That's very good news.

Quick update: you should be able to adjust the size of the center column now. There is also a fullscreen button for the editor.

Yes it is somewhat resizable, but it has limits. I tried to make it as small as I wanted, but it stops at a point and won't go any smaller. But i do like the full screen editor. Put this system in the apps and full software and I'm ready to use it. I know, I know, it's coming. Not soon enough for me.

Faithlife is in the process of switching their notes system to a new system so the old system used in the mobile apps and the desktop software doesn't sync with the new system in the web app.

If anyone at FL knows they aren't telling anyone publicly

That's wonderful news.  Love it!  You guys are so proactive in bringing more value to your users.  That's one of the things I love most about Logos.  Will there be an announcement for beta users?  I'm a walking beta test, so I love trying stuff out.

Thanks again. 

Phil - is there a way to possibly export all of my Notes in bulk from the desktop version and import into the Web App?  If so, from that point forward I would just start using the Web App and no longer the desktop version for future notes.  Just thinking out loud. 

well that's a fantastic way to start the new year!  thanks so much
