This is just a simple and regularly updated list of notable feature requests in the Anytype community, whether in Telegram or the newer Discord server, or on Reddit or whatever. This probably seems like an odd thing to put here, but there is no easy, public place to put this kind of thing in the Anytype community itself. And I want a place to point people to when they ask about things.
This list is not necessarily in any particular order, though I may try to adjust it by perceived frequency or popularity of request if I get a chance.

- Underline formatting
- Open attached files natively for common formats, e.g. embedded audio/video player, PDF viewing (note that Anytype team have confirmed native audio playing will be added, other formats are unclear)
- Graph (or “network”) view, like Roam, Obsidian, etc.
- LaTeX support
- Whiteboard function and/or “draw”
