Hiya! Sorry for the late reply - I've been quite busy with IRL stuff and more commercial endeavours since doing open source does not pay my bills.
I like this idea, but I think your description has some flaws:
Then there's also the issue of how you would do if you want to have backups - should Notea decrypt the notes, or should they stay encrypted? How do password-protected notes get decrypted? How should Notea check if the passwords are correct? How do you handle password-protected notes that are shared? There are tons of questions like these that just hinder this from becoming a viable feature, at least in the near future.
Another problem is that I'm trying to keep the original vision that Qingwei had (at least from what I can gather). This included having Notea be simple which after setting it up I find it succeeds at. This feature would not mesh well with the goal of simplicity.
Hi! How about adding some privacy-related features? For example, password-protected notes. Example use case: you're stepped away and accidentally forgot to lock your desktop. Then everyone can access your very important notes. Next case is a password leak. Everything is clear here, I think.
Of course, such notes must be encrypted in storage.
Some considerations for implementation: Re-ask login password Configure some master-password Configure password for each protected note
