So in some old screenshots of this site it showed many more categories, such as creatures and races. Then in people profiles it says you can link creature for a pet or race or a language. But does anyone know how to make a language/creature/race page?

you need to have premium to use the language, creature, and race pages, as well as many others.
I think it'd be pretty interesting to include a "disease" page, so you can create types of diseases for your story. It would be especially helpful for people writing sci-fi/futuristic stories, as there would probably be quite a few different and/or new diseases. You could create things like type of disease, how it travels, the symptoms, how fatal it is, what types of species typically get it, how common it is, when it was created, how ofte it mutates, different types of mutations, vaccinations, and cures.
What do you guys think?
That'd be sick dude!
cough bad pun cough
Oh my god how did I not even realize that was a pun
;D
Just a couple ideas relating to custom categories (I'm not sure if they've been mentioned before though D:) The first thing is that I accidentally lost a bunch of work when I deleted an attribute to a custom category and didn't realize it would refresh the page - if it could save before deleting so that you don't have to save and go back into edit mode to delete it that would be really nice. (Also, it'd be really cool if you could have category names and fields be editable after creating them?)
The second thing is that I have a category that only applies to a few characters, but when not filled in, it doesn't disappear on other characters' profiles like the main categories do?
I really love this site though! It's helped me a lot with both character development and just keeping details straight :D
[Edit: It could also be really useful if you had the ability to sort the character menu by roles, so that if, for example, you wanted to find your main characters in a sea of background characters, you could get to them all quickly?]

^This please.
I know you have a lot to do, but it'd be great if you could improve the site for mobile phones a little. Usually when on my Android, it would log me out at random times if I switch to another tab.

Yeah I totally agree. I'm not sure how hard it is to make it an app, but if you could…
I agree with a lot of these suggestions! I have a handful that I've found would be helpful in my mind, most if not all have already been said, so I'm going to list the major ones I believe would be most helpful - I hope you'll excuse my list of suggestions:
- (I saw you were working on this one, just doubling down on how nice it would be!) Adding your own fields into the pre-established categories such as add in "clothing" into the Looks category would help streamline information.
These three would likely be fixed once you implement the ability to add fields to pre-established categories: - Being able to add more variety of family members such as grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, etc.
- Being able to mark a character as dead, and the date of their death.
- Having "Natural Enemies" as a field within the Creatures section would be helpful, as well as possibly a "prey" field.
And Finally: - Being able to filter Characters/Creatures/Items/etc by things such as birth place, age, role, gender, or religion could be very helpful.
Also one thing I saw that confused me and thought maybe it could be adjusted to be more easily understood:
In the Creatures-Habitat category, there is a field called "Herding Patterns". I find this a bit confusing, and think maybe "Family Dynamics" would be a better title, with a description along the lines of "Are they solitary or live in groups? If they live in groups how is the Hierarchy of the group, and how do they respond to others of their species?" Then again I could have completely misunderstood this field!
Also, could you make it so that we can delete chats we make?

If you were to make an app, could you make it so that you could edit your own pages offline, then have them sync to your online ones once you are back on the internet. It would be super helpful for writers like me who only get internet about once a week, or just have terrible internet in general.
Hello!
I've seen lots of people requesting a way to sort your characters (including myself). I recently had an idea that would be helpful for that. What if you could make the names of your characters different colors and make a key on the right side that you can customize? Then you could sort your characters by color, and it would be easy to scroll through and find, say, blue.
Ex: All of the characters who are in blue are your Dead Female characters. All the characters in blue are your Main Males. If your story is about a plague, all the characters in blue could be your Sick Adults. Whatever.
Thank you!
Maybe a character section for side/minor characters that don't go as in depth as a major/main character.

I second this. The RP section especially is filled with purposefully abandoned RPs, some whose Creators accidentally made them and have no way at all to delete them.
A way to delete multiple files at once? I don't know about everyone else, but I tend to change my mind about how a few of my characters and places actually are. Sure I could use the old ones as a reference but I'll still be deleting them later. It would make it less tedious.
Is there any way you could make it so you could organize the home menu, kinda like the 3DS home screen? And when you hover over the + button, if you have sixteen or more pages, it overflows the page. Could you fix that?

Hey andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer), I know you are probably really busy, but something that would be awesome is a sexuality section. Lots of my characters are lgbtq+, and it would be super helpful. This is an amazing website that I use and love so much! Thank you for creating it.

Another section I would love would be "Residence." Thank you!
New Premium User testing out Notebook.ai for game development. I know from the February blog post that better features for the custom category function are coming. I'd just like to leave a note that being able to do all of the previously mentioned additions would go a long way toward implementing the work our tiny team has already done into what is currently available in Notebook.ai. Looking forward to the future of the program!
What do y'all think of a cuisine section? Like, an area where you can put down the foods of your world and invent new ones and stuff.
Just a thought
Also (this is kind of fantastical) but a way to turn of your notes for a short period of time would be helpful
Bio option!
And a profession section! Like, a template for jobs you've dreamed up.
I'd like to suggest a feature for Deity Pages.
The option to link 'worshipper, follower' characters and groups.
This would be helpful in the case of things like patron gods, or for marking specific characters/groups as followers. Instead of only family type links.
