The ClickUp Notepad seems to be an underappreciated tool. I've been using CU for years and I literally just discovered how handy it is. I love having the ability to jot stuff down and then sort later without having to choose a list, fill out task fields, etc. The notepad can be used for freeform braindumps, notes on a project as I'm reviewing it, misc to do's that don't have a home yet, etc. I like the way the notepad functions as is, but I'd love if it were easier to get to.
My biggest wish list item is the ability to dock a notepad item in a right sidebar so it doesn't cover the content below. But any or all of the ideas below would be fantastic:
* Ability to dock notes I'm working in the right sidebar, without covering up the page.
* Add "Open Notepad" home page card, or even adding specific notepad items.
* Add access to Notepad in left sidebar with "Home" "Inbox" "Docs" etc. Or the ability to favorite it for easy sidebar access.
* Ability to copy URL to a notepad item for easy access from other places. Especially when converting to task or doc, so you can see the notepad item it came from.
* If docking in right sidebar isn't an option, being able to stretch the window vertically would be helpful. Yes, you can go full screen-ish, but it blocks everything on the page below, which I need to reference as I'm notes.
* Ability to sort notepad items by date or alphabetically, in addition to Recent. The default I think puts the oldest at the top, which is not useful.
* Being able to see last saved date would be useful too.
Outside of ClickUp, I'm using AmpleNote (similar to Obsidian) for "brain dump and sort later". But I have to do a lot of copying and pasting to get tasks into clickup, if it makes it there at all. The ability to use the notepad IN clickup for this purpose would be amazing.
