Use case or problem
As a user i want to represent my data in multi-column layout in order to easy reading my data. I have try a lot of plugins: multi-columns formatters, advanced tables e.t.c. but no find an easy and intuitive way to make layout i want.
Proposed solution
The Cards in Canvas can close the question of representing complex data layouts. I see several methods and every can be usefull to achieve results. Here is a list of possible functionality:
-
Cards can be linked together (like frames in a paper layouts applications like Adobe InDesign) and shows parts of same note. One card show beginning, second (placed adjustment right) shows the rest. Contents breaks by heading levels.
-
Cards can be linked to a part of note similiar way like Internal links to section works. But card should have clear layouts of content without any additional frames, controls e.t.c Its will alow to p[lace part of note inside cards and form ANY layouts you want.
-
In addition card should have properties for visualization it’s own border. In simple way it should be visibility toggle.
All that functionality allows to create any layouts in a canvases.
Current workaround (optional)
Some plugins suggests a close solutions but every of them is relatively hard to compose.
