Notes

Notes in TinyHub are more than plain text. They use a rich block editor — headings, lists, quotes, and more — and, uniquely, they can hold real tasks right inside the writing.

Writing a note

Every workspace has a Notes area. Create a note and start typing. Press / to open the block menu and insert headings, lists, checklists, quotes and other blocks.

Tasks that live in your notes

This is where TinyHub notes stand apart. Using the / menu you can drop in:

• /Task — a single real task, embedded in the note.
• /TodoList — a live list tied to a project’s section.

These aren’t copies. A task embedded in a note is the same task that shows up in your task views, on My Day, and in your project. Check it off in the note and it’s checked off everywhere; check it off in a task view and the note updates too. Rename a section and the linked list follows.

That means a meeting note and its action items can live together — and those action items still count as real work with dates and status.

Notes on a project

A project’s page shows its related notes alongside its tasks, so the thinking and the doing sit together. Keep a running note per project — decisions, links, context — right next to the task board.

Tip

Write the meeting note as it happens, dropping in /Task blocks for each action item. When the meeting ends, those actions are already real tasks — no re-typing into a separate to-do app.

Discussing a note

Every note has a comment thread at the bottom, and the notes list shows a count so you can see which notes have a conversation on them without opening each one. It’s the right place for “can we agree this is the final scope?” — kept against the document rather than in an email nobody can find later. See Comments.

Keeping a note to yourself

A note can be marked private. Only you can see it — it’s absent from the workspace’s notes list for everyone else, including owners and admins, and its comment thread is invisible with it.

Use it for the half-formed thought, the rate you’re considering, the note-to-self about a client relationship. Everything else in a workspace is shared by default, so private is the exception you reach for on purpose.

Note

Privacy belongs to the person whose content it is: only a note’s author can make it private or public again. Other members can still edit a shared note — keeping shared work correct is the job — but they can’t change who gets to see it.

On mobile

The notes editor is at its best on a larger screen. On a phone you can read notes comfortably; heavy editing is easier on a laptop.
