What if this would be possible?
It could save a lot of time when creating cells.

ya i could do that.
Are there any situations where ##red or ##rgba(0,0,0,0)` would be a legitimate input and not something intended to become a hidden color? (cc @bentsai)

No idea. I am very well aware that it could break somethingā¦

Maybe you could make something like āKinopio Labsā for experimental features to see what works and what breaks?

This kind of function seems like something that would go well with āslashā commands that other apps have. That is, hitting / allows you to type various commands (set card color, insert todayās date, maybe even, connect-to-card). (I know this is already used for linking to a space, but that would be another command and feel like expanding to a whole command palette would be worth it).
In general, for me, the goal is, help the user input their thoughts and style/connect without leaving the keyboard.

Yeah I love this idea - I highly doubt someone would use ## in front of color codes, personally.
The / command is an interesting idea, but using them and requiring a second input might be a bit much for Kinopio. (Example: ā/colorā ā āblueā). If / were ever to be commands instead of space linking, Iād think it should be simple, single commands a la āinsert todays dateā.

I wish I was a designer, so I have my full confidence to Pirijan in choosing the best solution (or not choosing any of them).
One more alternative solution would (it is just a brainstorming) to allow the color of tags to affect the color of cells.

Multiple tags in a card might mess that up. I (personally) think the ## is still a good solution.

Kinopio Labs
I think of the staging urls as little labs. Or the #makers-log channel in discord as a kind of non-interactive/live lab for things.
But for most features, you donāt fully know till you build it and the more eyes on it the better/quicker results

what are your experiences with / commands in other apps?
When I use notion Iām mostly using the / command because thereās just so many options that itās impossible to find even basic things without autocomplete. Usually with notion, the ā/ā commands I use also donāt have a second stage where i have to input a color or something either, but Iām sure thereās plenty of those there.
