Foldable notebooks and searches #308

Open dstrelnikov opened 6 years ago

dstrelnikov commented 6 years ago

Hey everyone!

I'm submitting a feature request.

  1. In general: I think that sidebar must be highly customizable.

  2. I think it would be very convenient to have toggle day/nigt button at the bottom of left panel. There is enough space to place few small buttons in line (maybe even customizable) such as sync, toggle day/night, toggle monospace, etc.

  3. Also, on my opinion, Settings button at the bottom of the sidebar eats a lot of vertical space. I don't use it every day and there is one more in the top right menu.

  4. I would be happy to see Notebooks, Searches and their subtrees foldable.

  5. Apps like Things, Todoist, Wunderlist usually have Tags button. It's not convinient to create a search query for every new tag.

Lets discuss :)

  1. It's hard to draw the line here what to pull from the Settings (or worse - duplicate). I don't think it's per Material design either, which next version is trying to follow for the drawer. (I don't consider that second argument too strong though.)

  2. I was actually thinking about removing Settings (and Sync for that matter) from top right menu at one point. I think it should remain in the drawer, as it's one of the major "navigation destinations" in the app.

  3. Again Material design aside, yeah, I think that would be useful, as notebook list could get out of control.

  4. This could probably use a separate issue. It has been requested in the past.

Thanks!
