[Feature Request] Pinned notes in sidebar

Beta Panda Feedback

Hi,

I would appreciate the ability to show specific pinned notes in the side bar, or some other way to access my most important notes with a single click. Right now it takes two clicks to open a pinned note. It doesn’t seem like much, but is additional cognitive load when you need the information fast. This would be especially useful for the scratchpad note I know many of keep.

I decided to wait after release of final version before coming up with a similar request. Something similar what the app side notes offer implemented in bear fourth pane would drive me crazy out of excitement. That would be an incredible multi-purpose tool for endless user scenarios. But i still think it is better to wait :wink:

I don’t know if this is exactly the same issue, but it is at least related to the original.

I would like to have a section called “pinned notes” in the sidebar, on the same basis as “Untagged”, “Todo”, “Today” and “Locked”.

I use pinned notes more recently, and getting to them quickly usually involves several steps:

  1. go to (all) Notes
  2. go to the top of (all) Notes
  3. visually identify the pinned note you’re after

Without exaggerating the point, being able to go to list with only my pinned notes will remove a point of friction I’ve been noticing lately.

One of the added benefits I’m envisioning is faster access to this section through quick open. A keyboard shortcut (CMD + OPT + 6?) would be great as well.

Sorry if I didn’t post it in the right thread (noob here!).

I have a related feature request.

I would love it if pinned notes could be truly pinned and not dynamically float/sort. So if I have 3 notes pinned, I want to manually sort them. After pinned notes, they can dynamically sort.

For example, I have a master note, a weekly note, and a current project note that I always want pinned in that order for quick navigation. The current method is creating mental friction (for my brain anyway) I have to re-orient when I make a change and they have floated around.

Additionally to some sort of quick hide/reveal behavior for pinned notes. I’d like to be able to “collapse” pinned notes in the side bar, so just the headline was visible. I have a Note called “Various Links And Notes” which I append things to all the time. I want to be able to call it up all the time but not crowd out other five or six pinned notes I look at all the time.
