Pls add these features - This will make NB much more powerful

I have been trying both NB and Goodnotes before finalizing one, realized NB has better writing feel and notes navigation, so finalized NB but I miss some very useful features which GN has. If these features are added, I think it will become a much more powerful app:

  1. Option to add manual outlines in notes.

  2. Shapes Tool (with connectors for flow charts and rounded corners for all shapes).

  3. Custom page size options and ability to change page size and background separately for each page.

  4. Search menu showing a small preview of each area of the page where the searched word appears in the note (right now NB only shows the full page preview)

  5. Stroke Stabilization

  6. More control over pen sizes (a lot of users might want to see a size between 2 and 3 or 3 and 4).

Feel free to add more feature suggestions in the comments.

NB Team, pls add these features, I love the writing experience on your app but these features will make it the most dominant note-taking app.

Apple Pencil Squeeze to Eraser - Request for Persistent Toggle

Currently, when using the Apple Pencil squeeze gesture to erase, we have to keep squeezing the Pencil. As soon as we release the squeeze, it switches back to the Pen tool.

This becomes inconvenient when we need to erase a large area.

In Goodnotes, the squeeze gesture works more like a toggle: a single squeeze activates the Eraser, and it stays active without having to keep squeezing. Once you're done erasing, you can simply squeeze again to switch back to the Pen. I find this much more convenient, especially as a teacher.

I know we can achieve something similar in NB using double-tap to switch to Eraser, but double-tap doesn't feel as convenient or natural as the squeeze gesture.

If this functionality is already possible using the Apple Pencil squeeze settings, please let me know how to enable it. If not, I’d really appreciate it if the developers could consider adding this option.

It would make a big difference for workflows where we frequently need to erase larger areas.
