Hey there, We don’t have block referencing in the same way Roam does it… yet. We allow you to copy a block link and paste it which will create a link to the block with text preview. We hope to add improved support for this soon.

A 75k page import is quite the load. We have bulk markdown import but that may test its limits. How would you ideally perform that and where are you importing from?

Thanks for sharing. We do feel a need to provide Android support even for personal use cases, so we're working on that. Completely agree that it's critical for teams, too.

Transitioning infinite space on mobile works to varying degrees depending on the content. Treating the documents like editable maps works relatively well especially for the consumption experience. We're iterating on some ideas on how to improve editing there as well. We've seen some tools completely ignore coordinates and place everything in one scrolling section, but we feel that is very detrimental to the mental model you construct of your documents and aspire to maintain space while still providing a smooth UX.

Oh, I should have mentioned labels were Pro only. Sorry about that. We should probably message in the app when trying to do it as well. Good call.

Auto-placing pages is a pretty cool idea! We were considering making the Page Tree an opt-in area where you could just place pages you really need to build up in there and let you access everything else from the All Pages section.

Hey, thanks for trying it out!

We agree there is plenty of room for improvement with our pen tool. It's an area we're constantly refining. We're hoping to get pressure in there soon.

Surfaces on Daily Notes has been highly debated by the team. On one hand, it would be pretty excellent to us. On the other, it could inhibit other workflows by adding too much cognitive overhead. Because you can create a Surface inline using `[[New Surface Name`, we have pushed this decision off for the time being. Would love your thoughts on how you would like it to work.

Would also love to know what makes a daily driver to-do app for you. Maybe we can work that in. Either way, thanks for all the feedback. It's very helpful!

Thanks for the questions and ideas. We do support tags, which you can add inline using the format `#tagname`. This will create a Labels section in your sidebar which will show a list of all pages tagged with that. We've had many feature requests to make this more granular – to show blocks tagged with the labels – which we've been working on but haven't shipped yet. As for Surfaces on Daily Notes: I typically create a new Surface inline from Daily Notes by typing `[[Page Name`. This gives me a clean Surface to work on without messing with everything else going on in my day. It also generates a backlink for you from that Surface back to any days linking to it. Would love to hear if this helps your use cases at all. Thanks!
