Make a widget for all Notes

[enoch85]

Hey @stefan-niedermann, cool app.

Would be awesome if you could enhance this app with a widget. Then I would start using it as my new standard app for Notes. :)

Thank you :) What do you expect from a widget?
@jancborchardt suggested a widget that displays exactly one selected note (#5). Would this be enough for you or do you mean something more powerful?

I'm currently using this app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.dmfs.tasks) as a Notes widget that syncs with the Tasks app through CalDav/CARDav. It's nice, but too much information inside the app beacuse it's a tasks app, and Notes isn't Tasks.

So what I'm looking for is very simple, and maybe a combination of @jancborchardt suggestion and the tasks widget I'm using right now.

Something like this:

Swipe right to delete (or show a trashcan icon)
Swipe left to edit
Plus sign to add

I would say both widgets have their place, although I think widgets which just replicate apps are rarely useful. I’d definitely say the single note widget to be able to very quickly note down stuff inline (without needing to jump into the app!) is essential. Try and install JOT as I mentioned in #5.

If you could make it as simple and efficient as the Twidere "Write" widget it would be perfect...

No need for attached file, location etc.

sounds good, but this would be a third widget:

1. display one note
2. display all notes
3. create new note

[jancborchardt]

Displaying a list of all notes and creating a new note could be the same widget. The list would just have a first list item which says "+ Create new note" :)

3 widgets would be perfect !

1. display one note
2. display all notes
3. create new note

3 widgets would be perfect !

display one note
display all notes
create new note

I have hacked together a widget for number 3 and I'm currently working on number 2. Shall I make a pull request for the create note widget?
