Not sure if it solves your case, but it did for me. You can set the to many relation to display as compact list. Then you can set filters on it. Doesn’t show any fields, but idk your use case so I thought I’d point it out.
Good job on the very extensive list btw!! Agree with most of it :))
Custom icons for views in the sidebar are great, but it’s hard to remember what kind of view it is. I end up adding “table” or “whiteboard” to view name to keep track of what it is. It’d be great if there was a way to preserve the default view icon even when using a custom icon. Maybe default view icon moves to end of view name if a custom icon, which precedes the view name, is being used.
In both the browser and the Windows desktop app, using Ctrl+click to select and deselect doesn’t behave well when going down to two selected items. Shift+click seems to work normally.
Everything said so far is lovely! I’ll add four points to this:
Some of these have already been stated, but worth repeating. Hopefully this doesn’t come across as an attack, just want to offer feedback to make Fibery even better.
Just as a workaround to this: you can create a user with a dummy email address, set them up as you need, and then update the email address to the correct one.
Is the welcome email re-sent when the email address changes?
It does, we did this jusy recently.
I would consider many of my existing feature requests to be UX improvements. Like
Specifically for the Sidebar UI, I noticed that the Sidebar now has a default width. But I think the sidebar is unnecessarily widened by having the carrot to the left of all items all the time. I much prefer a skinny sidebar even on my large monitor since I use multiple windows.
Nested objects: the ability to press tab and nest blocks of different types under a parent (ex: a quote nested under a checklist item)
When creating an entity (Ctrl + E) the most recent entities should be at the top - just like in the quick create button
These are UX issues I consider barriers to adoption:
You can no longer delete or select actions on a table in an entity after selecting the checkboxes.
I had to add delete buttons as a workaround.
Try right click
I assume you are talking about a relation view? Batch actions (like it works on normal sidebar views) should be coming soon.
This!
Fibery has great potential to become the company OS/Wiki. But the lack of this view makes thing hard for general users and also hard for several applications where gallery view is more appropriate than any other view.
This really need some love.
When creating relation views this incredibly powerful feature is hard to navigate. In this case, I wasn’t even able to find the relationship chain I wanted to use. I would prefer first selecting the primary relation and then seeing the secondary paths.
Ah yes, while I think the idea behind this (auto-filters in Views) is absolutely amazing, the way it works is bad enough that I hardly ever bother with it.
The screenshot shows all that’s wrong with it. 
Rich Text: Removing text/lines almost always results in the removal of, or inheriting of text styles from adjacent lines.
Update: Links as Mentions → this popular UI adjustment in almost every competitor is a huge visual improvement over blue, long, hyperlinks. A URL that converts to the page name and the Favicon is a quality of life upgrade.
Added some small UI/UX refinements for the new sidebar here. Thanks!
I am sorry if these might be hard to follow. I have been short on time but I thought you might appreciate the feedback even if it isn’t polish, vs. not getting this at all
I want to give a shout out and kudos again to search indexing comments - real cutting edge here and helps eliminate the need for Slack, no other no-code tools do this. One big issue with comments however remains quoting and the fact that this particular way of formatting doesn’t accommodate a soft return. Soft returns (using “shift” + “return” to preserve a block of text that will all be referenced together across Fibery) are essential when typing in rich text areas if you want to effectively use references. So basically you can’t quote anything with the default “quote” format, and then get a reference in another entity that would include the entire context.
comments could be less dominant, when using them you lose visibility of a lot of the rest of the entity - would help if you could just quote comments ala discourse, and maybe have less intrusive comment boxes across the interface, so you could comment quickly while still seeing most of the rest of an entity.
Search issue I posted about where you can’t filter w/out typing something: Filters for recent items in search
often entity names cut off, can’t mouse over relations (in collection area) and see title, although you can see that in bottom menubar of your browser as a workaround
Inline entity creation with a .com in the name issue that I have the bug logged about, I never got a response - Typing a ".com" with hashtag inline breaks flow of text - #6 by B_Sp
Newly created entities can take 15 - 20 seconds to appear in connection areas. This can be frustrating in meetings when creating a new entity, then trying to link it somewhere…it won’t show up in the results for this amount of time.
When trying to create bulk entities in rich text, you have to use bullet points and can’t use soft return, so references are lost. It’s easy to make a list of items you’d like to convert to entities with a soft return, but Fibery won’t allow bulk creation if you don’t have a bullet list format.
Also using keyboard to create bullets is difficult, not intuitive
In some cases I don’t understand, in many-to-many collections the default does not show a list of related entities to choose from. Recently in one case I was presented with just a “recent” item that I could not remove from the selector without typing in the relation field (I have to type and replace the default text “Create a new document…” when in other cases I get a selection of choices - and I don’t understand the order of those, either). In this case I am not even sure when I accessed the item showing as “recent”
When using big button to create an entity with a start date, you can’t continue to hit “tab” on a Mac to move the focus to “create,” so you lose the speed of keyboard shortcut. You can do this with the “tab” and focus when inline in entities with # (except if you have a .com in the title of the entity per the bug I quoted above)
Again I hope all of this is helpful, thanks!
I’m desperately looking for All-your-work-in-single-view.
The primary reason why we’re trying to move over from Clickup is because we just can’t find open work. It’s always hidden in some form somewhere in Clickup; either because we can’t do a global filter easily enough, or it sits in a doc as a comment. (Woe be onto you if you use global views in Clickup…)
I want to be able to setup a single view that goes through all entities and shows all open work, in any form. Just a single point that people go to that they know is up to date, always, with ANY open work that remains.
We’ve already moved to entities-as-documents in Fibery because of this.
However, comments are a thorn in our eye because you cannot:
I’ve tried to work around this by hacking comments through entities or highlights - but both simply don’t have good UX for any of the main workflows. I’ve also tried using formula’s but haven’t been able to get anywhere. Comments live outside the Fibery ecosystem.
My ideal workflow being that I can construct a view that shows all entities with specific statuses (tasks, goals, epics, comments, docs) that are assigned to me.
