Adjust spacing between blocks
K
Kirill ͏
I want to be able to reduce margins between blocks since in some cases information density of a document is bad. For example entries in a bullet list being treated as separate blocks makes so bullet lists have big separation between each entry. Even being able to reduce vertical spacing between blocks by 30-50% would make for better layout while not messing with accessibility of blocks and manipulations

Bullet lists are very painful to work with due to this. Migrating to Capacities from Craft, this is the biggest gap for me.

Large space between headings

Here, I try to make a Heading 1 followed by a Heading 2, and a short description of the Heading 2. Because of this spacing, it is a bit difficult to distinguish headings 1 and 2, as well as heading 2 and the description below as well. In my opinion, the visual hierarchy of the site is compromised with such spacing. No one seems to belong to anything.
You see, I use a medium-sized cursor and still, there is space left if I put it between the spacing.
I don't know if it's a bug or if it's just done that way. In any case, I believe that the spacing between the blocks can be improved to better give visual hierarchy to the text.
For example, the hierarchy of the page information (title, description, tags) is perfect. I believe that the body text (especially the headings) could also follow this pattern.

Improve Line Spacing for Better Hierarchy in Text Blocks (UI/UX)

Feedback / Request:
I noticed a small issue regarding the line spacing within text blocks on Capacities, particularly in comparison with Notion. In Notion, the spacing clearly communicates hierarchy, naturally grouping related text blocks closer together and separating unrelated blocks more distinctly. This visual organization helps users quickly understand the structure and relationships within their notes.
However, in Capacities, line spacing between text blocks appears uniform, making it difficult to visually distinguish between related and unrelated text segments. This uniform spacing can lead to a less intuitive user experience, especially when scanning or organizing extensive notes.
Suggestion: Introduce variable spacing to clearly differentiate between related text blocks (less space) and unrelated text blocks (more space). This adjustment would greatly enhance readability, improve visual hierarchy, and align with common practices observed in apps like Notion.
Disclaimer: I am not a UI designer, but this feedback is based on my personal experience as a user aiming to improve readability and usability.

Agreed. Also when copied to clipboard or exported to markdown, there are whole blank lines between each dot point in a bullet list. With anything copied and pasted for use elsewhere, you then need to spend your whole time going through and deleting blank lines. And yes, the poor use of screen realestate with the excess spacing makes it hard to quickly skim read and you end having to scroll a lot.

Agreed, I am specifically unhappy with the density of bullet points, and would love to have it reduced.
