[marcoambrosini]

• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ Adjust spreadsheet formula feature to something usable (adjust to excel). Complicated functions
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ Improve template management. Not intuitive/discoverable now.
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️✔️ Default styles are ugly for all apps (templating, fonts, etc)
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️✔️ "Merge request": Owner reviews changes of a document before updating. Change tracking.
  • Feature visibility issue
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️✔️ Notes in sidebar (outline, to do, brainstorm )
  • Something for general sidebar or talk
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️ Open docs on their own without loading files interface
  • We should work on files app loading performance and speed up tricks for loading a file directly
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️ Make it faster (responsiveness, opening time, diagrams)
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️ Offline mode
• [ ] ✔️✔️✔️ Better dark and bright mode collaboration
• [ ] ✔️✔️ Convert spreadsheet to table in tables app and vice versa
• [ ] ✔️✔️Integrations. E.g. convert a table in slide to nice visualisation in slide
• [ ] ✔️✔️ Better way to compare versions (diff view)
• [ ] ✔️Per user filters/view
• [ ] ✔️ Smart functions for sheets. Suggestions/recommendations on functions.
• [ ] ✔️ Handle latex for research
• [ ] ✔️ Fancy keyboard shortcut (insert date, week number, text from other file). Mb smart picker https://github.com/nextcloud/text/issues/4043
• [ ] Design suggestions while editing. Auto-make things looking nicer
• [ ] OCR. Text extraction/ recognition
• [ ] Magic text recognition (date -> link to calendar, name -> link to profile, address -> link to map)
• [ ] Where are the presenter notes? 🤔
• [ ] Text to office conversion
• [ ] Diagram unusable (connectors)

Chat with @juliushaertl and @marcoambrosini

1. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ Adjust spreadsheet formula feature to something usable (adjust to excel). Complicated functions

• Adjust spreadsheet formula feature to something usable (adjust to excel). Complicated functions
• Is there any more context we can get around this, specially around Complicated functions?
• Which version it was used? it seems it was not recorded that info because it was more of a discussion around past experiences with Nextcloud Office
• @juliushaertl pointed out that it was mainly related to formula and missing formula completion hints

2. ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️ Improve template management. Not intuitive/discoverable now.

• Context: It seems this was 2 part feedback: How do you manage templates in Nextcloud? How to switch document's layout after creating them

4. ✔️✔️✔️✔️ Default styles are ugly for all apps (templating, fonts, etc)

• It seems this is about the sidebar in impress where slide layout are visible

5. ✔️✔️✔️✔️ Notes in sidebar (outline, to do, brainstorm )

• Context: people would like to have notes in the sidebar. Maybe @marcoambrosini can try to gather more info 6 ✔️✔️✔️ Open docs on their own without loading files interface
• ContextL @marcoambrosini contextualize it -> to be able to open Nextcloud Office without loading files view first
