Features of an Executive Duty

Here are some suggestions that I believe could make Obsidian on Android more accessible and enjoyable, especially when compared to apps like Open Note, which shines in certain aspects of simplicity:

  1. A simple and intuitive main interface
    The most important point is having a straightforward home screen that lets users dive right into their notes without complexity. This would be a big step forward for new users who may find Obsidian’s current interface a little overwhelming.

  2. More customization options for appearance
    It would be great to give users more freedom to personalize their workspace, such as:

An open color palette to change interface colors freely.

The ability to add custom icons within notes or in the interface.

  1. Improved navigation
    A clear “back” arrow at the top left of the screen (as in most apps) would make moving between pages and menus smoother and faster.

  2. Export and sharing options
    Practical, quick export and sharing features would be very useful, including:

Exporting notes in multiple formats, like .txt and .html.

Sharing as plain text, an image, or a Markdown file.

  1. A “Print” button for PDF export
    A simple but essential feature: one tap to turn any note into a neatly organized PDF, ready to share.

  2. Support for importing external files
    Adding a feature to import files directly into the app would be highly practical and is something that Obsidian currently lacks.

  3. Enhanced privacy options
    Making privacy settings more visible and easier to access would give users clearer control and greater transparency.

While Obsidian is already known as a powerful tool for advanced users, adding these simplicity- and usability-focused features would not reduce its power. On the contrary, it would help make Obsidian an ideal tool for everyone.

It looks like this text comes from an LLM. I hope you just used it for wording and not to generate the suggestions.

Suggestions go in the Feature requests category. Before posting a request, search the forum to see if it has already been requested. If it has, put your feedback in the existing thread. If it hasn’t, post a request for each feature (don’t request multiple unrelated features in a single post). So this post would be 7 requests if none of the features have been requested before. (But probably some of them have been requested before.)

Thanks, and good luck!
