Add color markings for notes (or add colors to tags) #93

Open pktiuk opened 4 years ago

What

Add some color markings for notes, something like tags, but associated with different colors (or just maybe allow associating certain tags with colors).

Why

It is much easier and faster to look through list of notes. Thanks to these colors the app would be more visually appealing.

For me as a visualizer it is difficult to quickly navigate through many notes using only tags.

How

Something simple, but visible, just like small dots (next to pinned indicator would be enough) would be enough. image

In desktop version it could be made just like tags on GitHub:

Also the tags work funny if we put some emoji in them. It creates duplicate tags. Maybe because it doesn't read emojis in the tag name? I was trying to have some sort of marking on tags using emojis because otherwise its just a lot of text to look at.

That is great idea. I really needed visual distinction between tags and this one is pretty simple.

Let me know if it works. My main idea behind adding emojis was to have that visual distinction and just finding my tags quickly. For me i added emojis from my mac client but when I opened the app in my phone, it created duplicate tags.

For now I've removed emojis from tags but I'm using them in note titles.

It works and increases visibility in list of tags obraz But it would be good to add also some visualization of tags in list of all of notes.
