Ability to add title and tags, etc

[profucius]

Hey again, I thought I would open this as a separate ticket from what was mentioned in #8, so that I can expound on the idea, and whenever you get around to working on it we can debug here specifically.

---

I had already mentioned the idea of adding a title on-the-fly. This could potentially be a box to type in at the top of your pop-up box in the top right hand corner. It would be nice if it auto-inherited the page name (i.e. the name it was already going to save as) so that you can edit it. This is how the official Notion extension already works.

This Title field, and the other field(s) I mention below, would appear after selecting which collection to save to first.

---

I also thought of being able to change other fields on-the-fly. An example of this would be: The table you're capturing to has a "Tags" field for tagging the type of article it is. Your popup box, underneath where the title would be, could offer a box to type/select a tag straight from there. This would save time later needing to tag them within Notion itself.

Typing vs Selecting: I imagine the easiest way to implement this would be to simply offer a text box that the user can type the tag(s) into. This functionality is exactly like the Title idea above, but saves into a different field. However, the trouble here might be that the user wants the Tag field to be a "Select" or "Multi select" type, where Notion requires that the choice be one of a pre-determined list. In this way then, it would be ideal if your popup box could live pull the options from that box, and provide them in a dropdown list within the popup. Simplifying it for the user.

Making a dropdown box could be more challenging and time consuming, and for that reason I personally dont mind it just being a typing field to start with. I only have a handful of tags that I use, and remember them exactly, so if you were going to work on this and wanted to get it out as a feature faster, I don't mind. However if you already know how to pull data live from Notion and it's not much harder to do, that would be more ideal.

And, this idea can technically be expanded to offer more fields to edit on-the-fly in the popup box, if they were to be added down the road, the structure would already be in place for it.

Let me know your thoughts? We can keep this ticket open for discussion and debugging.

Hi @profucius!
These are very good Ideas, thanks for making another ticket thread!
I will have them in mind, the dropdown one is very nice.

Wow! That looks awesome!

[elblogbruno]

I was able to get inserted tags on a multi-select row. So I feel it is pretty neat feature!

This looks so good, I can't wait to try it out 💯

I feel like I won't add the modified title or URL feature on the desktop extension, as don't know if you knew but you can click the notification bubble and notion opens and I feel it would be faster. I will add the adding tags idea doe,
How do you see it?

Hey there, thanks for following up!

Hmm. Do you think that people would not use a quick edit box in the popup notification? Because I do believe that people would use it, I know that I would prefer it this way personally. I see what you are saying, being able to just open the Notion page after it is saved and make edits that way, however as we know, Notion can be slow sometimes, both to open the page, and to propagate the data. It can sometimes take 5-10 seconds for these to fully load. I do a lot of webpage captures across multiple websites, and opening a Notion page after each and every one of them I can imagine will be quite time consuming. With being able to quickly edit the title and tags in the popup notification, that would be instant.

So if you are taking votes, I'm interested in having the modified title, and tags, feature in the desktop browser extensions. I think they serve a real purpose, for speed of data capture, and ease of use (especially for less technical minded people out there). 😃

[elblogbruno]

You fully convinced me 😆

I feel like I have implemented all ideas in #8 and here.
