Option to "show/hide" notes on screen #78

Open pyotr71 opened 2 years ago

Give the hide option for selected or all notes on the screen. When I open the application, the whole screen fills up with notes...

All note hide already there with the button on status/tray bar. I think #3 will also a use case of this problem

I do want to implement the ability to show/hide individual notes from the manager at some point, but I'm not quite settled on how to present that to the user. In the mean time, if you don't want all your notes showing up when the app launches, there is a setting under autostart in preferences to disable that, and in addition, you can use the manager to sort your notes into groups so that only a few of them show up at a time. Also, as mentioned, clicking the tray icon (if enabled) will toggle the notes to show/hide.

Sticky is a very good note-taking app, but a large amount of notes causes a lot of clutter on the screen. I think pins would be a good idea. Only notes with pins would be visible on the screen.

The screen fills up quickly. Not to compare to MS Sticky notes but i think the best approach would be something similar. Add a option to hide/open notes as they are selected from the app. Being able simply click on a note/notes within the app (not the lone sticky itself) to open/close ti would be a game changer for me.

I think this would be a good preference for users like me because currently the notes are displayed on screen twice. When the app is open and the sticky notes themselves.

Love your work BTW
