Bug Description

This is not a bug, it is a recommended feature.

I like RedNotebook as a journal but I would also like to use it to track ongoing notes that don't change with the date.
For example, I have notes for Prospects, Things To Do, Customer Issues, Serious Problems, Comments, Misc, Phone #s, and Customer List to name a few.

RedNotebook has the note capability but it only seems to be associated with a day. I would like to see tabs on the right half of the screen where I can keep lists of notes on a continual basis. Each tab is a different set of notes.

I believe this would make RedNotebook viable for a much wider audience.

Thanks,

RedNotebook is a journal application, not a note-taking app. If you search the latter there are better alternatives like KeepNote.

That said your comment made me think if we couldn't make note-taking in RedNotebook simpler. One idea would be to add e.g. the tag #Prospects to each paragraph in which you want to take a note about your prospects. Currently, you can then search for #prospect and see the dates of all days with that tag in the search column on the left. The new addition would be to create a temporary view in the center pane that shows you an overview of all paragraphs tagged with #prospects at the same time. You would then be able to make adjustments (copy, delete and move prospects) and they would be saved back to their respective days automatically later.

Marking this as "Opinion" since it doesn't fit with the project plans, but we can still discuss it.
