I love that you can enter notes for a game, but I rarely do it because to view them you have to hover above the little documentnote icon.

On the completion page however, the note that goes with the completion is visible in the list directly, and I really like that.

So the first thought is "why not also on the collection page"? But that 'space' is more or less already taken by the tags feature. There should be enough room to put it above or below the tags bit it might be a bit too full, although it also might work out allright.

Possible alternative is to have a setting to decide what you want to show but that would remove the tags feature all together (as you cannot enter them anywhere else)

So, apart from moho_00 actually implementing this, has anybody additional suggestions, idea's or comments? thanks

Honestly, this is a feature that I don't utilize but definitely see how it can be important. Is there size/character limits right now to the notes? I would be cool with having a spot below the tags to add notes but am kind of wondering if there needs to be a size limitation.

Also, can anybody view notes you add to the game? Or is that limited to only to you?

On the right hand side, below the button 'Strategy Guide', there is an icon for notes. If you click it, you can enter the note for that game. You can also click on the game box of a game on the collection page. The following edit page contains a field to enter notes.

It's definitely not the most reader friendly implementation as it stands now. My notes are often fairly long when I enter them and since they're only viewable as a pop-up info box with a width of maybe 16 characters or so, it makes for really awkward reading.

I just pushed out a release that includes the following:

  • The textbox when editing a note is now a bit larger (let me know if it needs to be any bigger).
  • Notes are now displayed on the My Collection page just as they are on My Completions. The only difference is your collection notes are only visible to YOU, whereas completion notes are PUBLIC.

Let me know if this helps and if necessary, I can make including the notes an option (kinda like the compilation breakout and page size stuff).

I would recommend decreasing the font size for the notes, it's pretty gigantic right now. I'd even go so far as suggesting half the size it's at currently.

Amazing! Looks great albeit a bit large like dhobo already mentioned but I like it and will definitely enter much more notes as of now.

The font size has been reduced from 15pt to 10pt. Let me know how that looks!

Look great, thanks!
One little bug: if you enter a note, the title of the game starts halfway within the image :) not for all games, but especially those steam games that have a wide box art

Another thingy is that when a text wraps, the spacing between lines is a bit large. It looks like this was intended to fit the larger font so perhaps this could be reduced.

I fixed the line-height issue. I can't seem to recreate the title overlapping the image thing though, could you send me a screenshot?

Also, I fixed the other bug you sent a while back where the rating would disappear after editing a completion :D

Notes look great now with the fixed spacing. Nice work!

The notes font size and text look gorgeous, and is an excellent addition for my game notes. I run many different games through emulators, so it's nice to be able to utilize the notes feature as a place to footnote specific emulation settings if need be.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, @moho_00. This place is amazing.
