Hey Folks,
I’m not even sure if this is possible with the current APIs, but I’d love a responsive TOC plugin, ALA Dropbox Paper. The core outline plugin technically does that job, but it’s a pane that I only want open every once and a while, so I end up never using it.
If you’re not familiar with dropbox paper, here is a quick recording:
What’s so useful about this design to me is:
- It’s stable. The dashes, that represent each header, are fixed. No matter where you scroll in the document, they stay the same.
- It provides subtle, but useful information about the document in an unobtrusive way, ie: each dash is a heading and the size of the dash indicates it’s place in the document hierarchy
- When you want to engage it, it reveals all the information you would want
Is there anything like this out there? If not, does anyone know if there are apis for arbitrary UI placement inside of a document container? I know the backlinks plugin lets you put stuff at the bottom of the doc, but that is not quite the same.
Thanks!
