Had an idea for an interesting feature that I believe would work well with Joplin.
We all take notes and they start to add up. It takes a bunch of time to sort through these notes. To remove old ones like that shopping list from last month or the seven things I need to get in NYC.
Imagine a feature you could enable for some or all of your notes that marks it as a temporary note. Along with this setting would be a time period you specify (with a default set). Let's say 2 months.
After the time period is up, you can choose what Joplin does with those notes. It could:
- move them to a stale folder
- auto delete stale notes
- other ideas here
The feature could be a checkbox or button or option you can trigger that flags the note as temp (depending on platform). Start a new note, enable temp note and write our your shopping list. Watch it go poof in 2 weeks.
In terms of training, you could have Joplin on desktop open a dialogue box the first time someone enables a temp note.
You've made this note temporary! We will %action% this note in %insert time set here% for you. You can disable temp note for this note or change the time period in the settings.
Example:
You've made this note temporary! We will destroy this note in 2 weeks for you. You can disable temp note for this note or change the time period in the settings.
