Append text instead of creating a new note. #16

Hi, I found this repository in one reddit conversation https://www.reddit.com/r/bearapp/comments/citraa/feature_request_sticky_note_on_the_status_bar/ I would like to add some features to this app to make it possible to use for journaling. The bearclaw app would create max 1 note per day, each additional text added on the same day should be appended to the same note maybe below a dashed line

---------- 10:45 AM
text tex text text
text tex text text
---------- 9:00 PM
text tex text text
text tex text text

I also have in mind some othe funcionalities like parsing the #tags and todos but before I start writing the code I wanted to ask if you like the idea, if you think this could become the main use-case of the app or if you think both use cases should be supported (journaling + the current flow)

Hi,

This wasn't a use case I envisioned when building Bearclaw, but I'm not opposed to adding it. We need to be careful with building the UI.

I think the default/main action should still be "create new note". However, we could add a segment control on top to switch modes. Once switched, it would stay in journaling mode.

Let me know what you think.

About parsing the #tags: sounds great! Not sure how you're going to fix the todos though?

Great 👍 I'll keep in mind that for you the "create new note" is the main use case. Todos e tags are just random ideas...I have not all the details in mind. I keep a note with my todos, it would be cool to use bearcraw to add an entry to it just hitting a shortcut and then typing "buy the milk"
