## Future development
These are just some basic features for MindStone v1, many more are coming (if I find enough of interest and this will probably a premium/paid option):
- 🎯Obsidian, Notion, VSCode Plugin
- 🎯Page Preview (like Obsidian Core plugin)
- 🎯Andy Sliding pane
- 🎯Full text search with `Cmd + K`
- 🎯Infinite canvas for browsing through notes and connections
### Some know issues
This an early version of MindStone, which mean there are bugs and issues. Below are some known issues, that I plan to work on:
- Image link in wiki link style is not supported yet. `![[Image_link.png]]` will not work yet. see work around below
- Graphview does not load when clicking on side-bar or click node on graphview, browser reload will refresh it state
- Graph view layout and interaction is still very rough. More UI/UX improvements are needed.
- Transclusion is not working yet.
