✍️ Make Space

Insert blank writing space anywhere on a Supernote page — just tap a line and slide everything above or below it up or down.

Ever filled a page by hand and then needed one more line in the middle? On paper you're stuck. On a Supernote, Make Space gives you room: tap where you need space, and everything above or below it slides (or back) so you can keep writing.

Inspired by OneNote's “Insert extra writing space”, built as a native Supernote plugin.

✨ What it does

You're writing notes. Two lines are too close together and you need to squeeze something in between. Instead of erasing and rewriting:

1. Open Make Space Below (or Make Space Above) from the toolbar, depending on which side of your tap you want to select.
2. A light grey frame appears around the screen — that's your cue.
3. Tap the spot where you want room.
4. Everything on that side of the tap gets selected — now drag it up or down: open space, or close a gap.

That's it. The move is the Supernote's own selection drag, so undo works normally.

┌─────────────────────────────┐
│  line written above         │
│                             │
│ ─ ─ ─ ─ tap here ─ ─ ─ ─ ─  │  ← tap
│   ↕ drag up or down          │
│     (add / remove space)     │
│  line written below         │
└─────────────────────────────┘

📲 Install on your Supernote

First, get the plugin file. It is not in this repository — the build/ folder is git-ignored, so the .snplg is never committed. You have two options:

• Download sn_make_space.snplg from the latest Release, or
• Build it yourself (see Build from source).

Then install it:

1. Copy the file to your device:

   adb push sn_make_space.snplg /storage/emulated/0/MyStyle/

   (or just copy it into the MyStyle folder over USB)
2. On the Supernote: Settings → Apps → Plugins → Install and pick sn_make_space.
3. Open a note, tap Make Space Below or Make Space Above in the toolbar, and go.

Works in the NOTE app.

🛠 Build from source

Requirements: Node 18+, and zip + jq (preinstalled on most systems).

npm ci             # install dependencies
bash ./buildPlugin.sh   # → build/outputs/sn_make_space.snplg

The script bundles the JavaScript and packages it into a .snplg. No Android Studio needed — this plugin is pure JS.

🧑‍💻 Development

Built with React Native 0.79.2 + the sn-plugin-lib Supernote SDK.

npm run typecheck   # TypeScript
npm run lint        # ESLint
npm run format      # Prettier check
npm test            # Jest

• Pre-commit runs lint + format + typecheck; pre-push runs the tests (via Husky).
• CI runs the full gate on every PR; releases are published automatically when you push a v* tag.
• Bilingual UI out of the box: English 🇬🇧 + Italian 🇮🇹.

🧭 How it works under the hood

The Supernote SDK has no “move selection” command, so Make Space leans on what the device already does well: it turns your tap into a native lasso of everything above or below the line, then hands control back so you drag it yourself. Simple, reliable, and undoable.

The full one-gesture auto-move (drag once, everything shifts automatically) is the next milestone — see the roadmap.

🗺 Roadmap

Tracked as GitHub issues:

• v1 refinements — layer toggle, landscape support, on-screen cut-line preview, and more.
• v2 — one-gesture auto-move — drag once and the page reflows automatically, with new-page overflow.
