Very nice!
I really want to attach screenshots to items. I'm going to use Workflowy while programming... whenever I notice a small tsak (such as refactoring a hack, reformatting some code, etc), then I'll add it as a Workflowy item.
But rather than type out an item description, it would be way easier for me to simply screenshot the code. (I do alt-printscreen, paste into MSPaint, save to dropbox, copy public link.)
Of course, each item could just be a dropbox link to the screenshot...
- chrisgoodrich 16y agoI'd +1 this feature request. Although, I would rather not see these show up in-line but instead be a link for download. Or possibly better yet, let me browse and attach things from DropBox.
- jessep 16y agoJust to clarify, you wouldn't want to upload stuff to WorkFlowy, right? You'd basically just want to link to it from another location?
- chrisgoodrich 16y agoUm. It would be nice to attach (via upload or via link) a screenshot or PDF to certain items, but I wouldn't want to format this inline with my text. Just be able to click and view. I definitely wouldn't want to sacrifice the simplicity and elegance of the text only view.
- jessep 16y agoNice. Yeah, attachments & embeds are going to be cool. So, sounds like for you just linking to an image plus previewing it in the display will be enough? Sounds like you wouldn't want us to let you upload the image to our site, right?
- palish 16y agoFor me, it's not necessary to upload the image to your site, no. But most of your users won't be using Dropbox... the vast majority of them wouldn't take the time to upload to some external site (e.g. ImageShack) then copy the link into the item. That said, you likely don't need to worry about being able to upload to your site right now. Attaching an image seems like a pretty special-case thing, so you could simply support an external URL for now... To answer your question: yes it would be ideal if I could "attach" an image URL to an item. That would then show a small ~(128px by 128px) thumbnail. Clicking on it would pop up a new tab and navigate to the image URL.
- chrisgoodrich 16y agoI'd agree that a URL link is good for now, but I'd vote against any inline embedding. I think this will complicate your UI. I think the link should browse to a new page in workflowy that is sub to the item to which it is attached and embed the image or video there.
