First thing I noticed was the name Bob Bringhurst being involved, if that is Robert Bringhurst then I need read no further. He knows his stuff.

Dear Affinity,
Graphic designers do need Footnotes AND Sidenotes ! (please don't do the same mistake as IDCC where you still need an unofficial script to create Sidenotes ...)
Why ? Well .. because footnotes/endnotes/sidenotes are a vital feature for every academic publications, and basically a vital feature to every graphic designer.
Thanks a lot

Actually the script done by Peter Kahrel for Indesign to create SIDENOTES→ https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/sidenotes.html is a very good basis, and can give you an idea of how it could work.
It's a bit weird at the usage but it does work, I'm sure that Affinity team will build something way more functionnal ; )

Very good idea.
Please don't link the footnotes to a specific block of text as in Adobe Indesign.
Footnotes should be free. We must be able to position them anywhere in the document. See @julienkinkin.
Bye.

I want this.  It seems like an excellent product but I can't do it without some type of ability to cite footnotes or endnotes.  Is this feature in the works?  If so, when will it be implemented?

Adding my voice to all those saying adding footnotes is needed and would be awesome – and with some flexibility, so that don't only have to go at the foot of the page.
Thanks!

Yes, please! 😀
(Referring to the previous two posts.)

I hope they will get the opportunity not to implement it as in InDesign or any wordprocessor. Notes in a creative publication are not always at the foot. They are sometimes in the margin, in line with the reference.
I hope Affinity can do something new in this area, starting from the analysis of the best art books.

EDIT: Sorry, I saw only now the post above, saying the same things, but better.
