Would live/dynamic content inside notes be useful?
Imagine that you could choose a specific section of your notes/documents and let it be filled automatically or set a command in natural language instead of the actual content. Examples: You have a bunch of notes related to a topic and a summary section. You…
Imagine that you could choose a specific section of your notes/documents and let it be filled automatically or set a command in natural language instead of the actual content. Examples: You have a bunch of notes related to a topic and a summary section. You set the summary section to be filled automatically. That section would always contain the summary and is always up to date. You have a table with numeric values. You set a command for a section to "sum of all the values" and it will always contain the summary. You have a list of stocks. For each stock you have a list of notes. In front of each stock you want to see the current price. You set a command as "current price". I always have the necessary infrastructure related to this feature in the note taking app I'm developing. but I wanna validate the idea before implementing it. Do you find this useful? Where in our workflow would this be useful?
Collected discussion
In my head I can imagine something like this being useful. Problematically, if these are your best use cases for it, and you've thought about it more than anyone reading this, then I'd imagine there's not much to it. Or perhaps you just haven't figured out the right use case for it where it would hold value. Either way none of the things you've described seem valuable to me. But I do think for brainstorming, there might be some value in something like this. Like writing a book, creating a product, or planning for the future. There could be ways this could help scaffold that process.
