What features did you like in 2023 and what do you want to see in 2024?

New user. Loads of love so far... but I can only comment on what I'd love to see in the future and not on what was introduced:

  • On Android UI, the sync area is "stealing" precious space from the notebook side panel list, could the sync be moved to the top, or made it smaller?
  • On Android, several threads I've read recommend the "Caffeine" app to keep the screen on, could a "keep screen on" option being added natively in the Joplin mobile app, as a temporary quirk "fix" for the lack of background sync?
  • On Windows, being able to hide the title and menu bar. I am referring to the actual program top bars, nothing to do with the note titles... this would offer some extra space and less distraction
  • Integrate the Note list and sidebar toggle buttons plugin into the core, so that the buttons to toggle the panels can go also into their panels respectively?
  • CSS possibility to reduce the min-height of the plugin panel? it would be handy if using the "note tab" plugin, so one could make this as small and slick as possible
  • Include a high contrast dark mode theme. The ones available have all most text opacity value set to 0.something and the text is too small... I would highly consider including these themes in the core installation: theme 1 by Hrqmonteiro, theme 2 by AngelCrawford
  • On Evernote, you can paste a URL over a selected word or sentence, and it will create a link for you latched to that selected text. Pretty handy... could this be implemented?
  • Being able to know the total "items" that need syncing while syncing, instead of the numbers being incremented in groups of 50/100. Or at least an estimation of the total remaining time to complete the sync?

Also plus 1 for:

  • Favourite at the top of the notebook list
  • Including a modifiable CSS style sheet (or adding more classes to elements and a class list guide page to refer to, but probably even better may be to have more custom colour choices in the Joplin's option panel
  • Better overall mobile app
  • Better search
  • Being able to purge unused attachments
  • Obsidian style of removing Markdown code as you write to have MD looking more like a rendered view (Evernote does this pretty well, too IMHO)

I wish I was in the position to help with any of the requests, but I am not a programmer. I can only thank you once again for your help and offer to beta test something if you need it
