Plans for the Nib
Rough list of what's coming to Nib. No dates on any of this, and the further down the list you go, the more likely things shift around.
Back & forward buttons
Jumping between entries and then finding your way back is way more annoying than it should be. Adding proper back/forward navigation so you can retrace your steps a few entries deep and jump forward again if you overshoot. Will work in the mini popup window too.
Moons & seasons on the calendar
Toggleable moon phases, with support for multiple moons and a custom cycle length for each one. Seasons will work either as a set number of days (60-day summer, whatever you need) or between specific dates, and you can add as many as you want.
Both will show at the top of the timeline, each toggleable on its own. There's plenty of vertical space up there, so even ten moons should fit fine, though I'll probably add a way to collapse them if you get carried away.
Auto-generated family trees
Relationships already exist in the app, so it makes sense to actually do something with them. Planning a new tab where you can pull up any character (or anything with a relationship field on its template) and see their tree laid out. Click any tile to jump straight to that entry, and entries with relationship fields will get a link to open their tree directly.
Connection web
A big visual web of your whole world, with lines drawn between everything that's connected. Different line styles depending on whether it's a mention, a relationship, or something you linked in a field directly.
Side menu with toggles to show or hide entire template types. Each entry will have a small button that fades everything unconnected to it, so you can isolate one thread at a time, hit the button on a different entry and the focus shifts to that one. Clicking the entry itself (rather than the button) just takes you to it.
Maps (long term goal)
A simple map builder where you draw your own landmasses, coastlines, lakes, forests, mountains, whatever, using basic shapes or freehand. Close off a shape and fill it with a color, then name it whatever you want. Not currently planning any preset options, you can just name things and fill them however you want.
Once something's on the map you can tie it to an entry. It'll inherit that entry's name and create a two-way link: click into it from the entry, or click it on the map to pull up its info in a side panel with options to edit it or jump to the full entry. If there's no entry to link yet, you'll be able to make one on the spot. Deleting a map piece won't delete the entry behind it.
Also planning markers for cities and points of interest, with a few style options so you can tell things apart at a glance. Multiple maps will be supported, the maps tab will work like a normal entry list, and clicking one opens the map instead of a text page.
And somewhere in there, a generate button that spits out a random layout with no names or links attached, so you've got something to start editing instead of a blank canvas.
