Thanks for your feedback! The spreadsheet view works in combination with metadata fields.

Let's say you have a number of notes for your contacts. You tag each note with #contact and add a few fields like "Name", "Department", "Diet".

Type #contact into the location bar to find all contacts and switch from there to the spreadsheet view.

You'll get a list of your contacts and you can quickly tell who is a vegetarian, for example. Great for planning a party (once in person meetings are a thing again).

Another neat thing:

Add a new note and add the tag #contact. The right sidebar will now suggest fields and headings that you used in other contact notes. This way you can use the same fields to keep your notes consistent.



Really nice design; do you have a “rename field” action for editing all those metadatas across matching tags at once?


Not yet, but that's on my list. Same for headings. I'm still debating if I implement this as a separate "rename" feature or instead implement a project-wide search and replace.
