    hi, some questions and feature request that seem relevant to this card :

    on the dashboard :

    • I don’t understand the minimize/maximize video icon ? is the video supposed to be embedded ? on vivaldi and chromium, I don’t see embedded videos, the icon only changes the top-padding of the title section

    • in fact, it would be nice to have embedded videos inside the dashboard

    • the collapse all button of the top menu has the same icon as the maximize/minimize video, I find it slightly confusing since these are different functions

    • [FR] also I would prefer to collapse/fold each item individually rather than globally : maybe add a button on the left of each section to fold them ? (use-case : I want to read notes of different items and keep them in view, while collapsing items in-between them)

    • [FR] different views (list/cards/masonry) would be helpful to browse bookmarks, similar to raindrop or feedly. more or less achievable via custom css but a native solution would be nice

    • [FR] spaces section : add sorting options (by alphanum/size/shares/dates)

    thank you !

    When highlighting text in a PDF, there's a strange bug:

    When changing zoom, some highlights will jump to different pages of the PDF.

    Things we have on our radar:

    • Improving test coverage to reduce regressions

    • Prevent tab from being closed while PDF is still uploading

    • Users sometimes lose the auth state, needs fixing but also generally better UX on indicating a logged out state

    • In some cases the matching of URLs with annotations is not working well (in particular when the ?querystrings in the url change. Needs better handling and some cleaning up.
