Lol

#

whoops

#

let me delete the one I made lol

#

there

#

i saw this in your twitter and it gave me a similar idea

light matrix
#

Yeah, but this one is quite impossible in IMGUI

#

i find myself dreading to follow "good practices" for writing down notes and tasks when I'm doing small projects

#

for big projects I just do the usual, wiki, task manager stuff, etc

#

but for very small projects it's just way faster to write down stuff on Trello or some notepad text file

#

there's a couple of assets in the Asset Store that are used for sticky notes and such

#

but they are all so barebones and not good

#

😓

#

Give me some links, I'm curious

#

One day, if you are open to it, I would gladly show you tutorial system behind the cheat sheet! 🐑

#

that'd be nice, maybe in the future if I ever get around to making this idea

#

I'd like to have a centralized way of handling notes and tasks for Unity projects

#

right now it's all just separated depending on your workflow. You have your game wiki, your technical documentation, your task manager and Trello stuff, your TODOs in Visual Studio or whatever IDE you use, etc etc etc

#

and it's quite a time sink that's just not worth for very small projects

#

I've had some people give me negative feedback on this idea, because it promotes bad habits. And I agree to some extent

#

that's one of the reasons I haven't committed to making this yet

#

but for a designer it's just so nice to get a component in the inspector and have some note on top of a field that explains the ideal usage and whatnot

#

or a note in the component header that has relevant information

#

that's why Unity has tooltips to begin with

#

but tooltips are iffy, i don't really like how they're implemented in Unity

light matrix
#

Hum... I really like the idea of dynamic tooltips...

#

You might have got my full attention

#

Hum...

#

I suck at UITK, so I have to learn it better before jumping into this tool

#

but they are not really just tooltips, like in the Interactive Cheatsheet you are making
I want to give the users full text editing control and possibly attaching images

#

and text formatting (colors, sizes, fonts, etc)

#

for now it's still a little bit out of my knowledge 😅

light matrix
#

Not that hard to do, I took me few hours to inject myself into the Inspector (I did tweet about that)

I can show you the code

#

What I am interested in, is the sharing feature among a team, a company, or simply the plugins community itself

#

An embedded Wiki

#

That really sounds useful

#

But I'm not sure if Unity allows that in the Asset Store

ivory loom
#

Not sure how I'd approach that to be honest

#

right now it's all just theoretical

#

until I start implementing all that stuff I won't know how to deal with it

#

since all the tools I've made before are just local and I've never had to implement synchronization between multiple machines

light matrix
#

Hehehe that's the funny part :D

#

I'll probably check if I can make a viable prototype
