Just tested this, looks very good!

Although, imho, I think the list of notes should be in something like a left pane when using it on a desktop, for faster navigation between notes. On mobile the notes could perhaps be accessible by swiping horizontally to get to a list of notes in the selected notebook.

A bredcrumb might be good information as well, like / /

One issue I noticed was that if you have so many notes in a notebook that the dropdown is higher than the screen, then its a bit hard to take the ones at the bottom.

@erickr thanks for taking a look! I'll take a pass at that on the next iteration, I'm working on integrating a wysiwyg type editor for editing notes. Great point on the notes and notebooks listing

@erickr took your recommendation and moved the notes to a left nav that collapses on a small screen. also made it so, while collapsed, swipe gestures can be used to show the notes.

Sounds great, will try it tomorrow night!

This looks great, but I do have some feedback I'd like you to take a look at before I merge. I also found a couple of deal-breaker bugs.

Major issues

  1. If the list of notebooks is larger than the list of notes, then the notebook list from the dropdown menu gets truncated weirdly.
  2. The "<Note" button only appears when there's already a note open (I assume you added this just to NoteHandler, and not also to NotebookHandler). This means that if you don't already have a note open, you have to go up to the hamburger icon menu and click the notes dropdown to get to your notes.
  3. Additionally, the "<Note" button is jammed into the star and edit buttons. There should be some vertical spacing there (or maybe "<Note" should show up to the left of the star, not above it?)

Minor

  1. Search should be to the left of the Notebooks and Notes dropdowns. This should also put it above them in a smaller window
  2. It would be nice if the logo appeared in the top menu bar somewhere - maybe on the far right?
  3. If the notes list on the left disappears b/c of responsive, then in the Notebook view (Notebook Handler), then the list of notes should move to the main content area, since it's blank otherwise.
  4. We should make the
