Description

@Vicentesan

currently, sealnotes lacks robust organizational features, making it difficult for users to categorize and manage their growing collection of notes. implementing a comprehensive organization system with folders and/or tags would significantly improve usability and help users structure their information effectively

proposed feature

  • allows creation of folders/categories for hierarchical organization
  • supports tagging notes with multiple labels for flexible categorization
  • enables filtering and sorting notes by folders/tags
  • maintains the app's client-side encryption for organizational metadata
  • provides intuitive drag-and-drop interface for organization

user benefits

  • efficiently organize growing collections of notes
  • quickly filter notes by category, project, or topic
  • create personalized organizational systems
  • maintain context for related information
  • improve productivity through better information management

technical considerations

  • design database schema to efficiently store organizational structure
  • ensure encryption of organizational metadata
  • implement efficient filtering algorithms
  • create intuitive UI for managing folders/tags
  • consider nested folders vs. flat structure tradeoffs
  • handle synchronization of organizational data

priority

high - this significantly improves usability as note collections grow

questions

  • should we implement both folders and tags, or focus on one system?
  • how deep should folder nesting be allowed?
  • should we implement color coding for visual organization?
  • how should we handle note sharing between folders/tags?
  • should we implement smart folders based on search criteria?
  • how should we handle bulk operations (moving multiple notes, etc.)?
  • should we consider implementing keyboard shortcuts for organization?
