Add a 'Read only' feature and undo button to Standard notes...

Components

Standard Notes is a note taking application that puts particular emphasis on privacy & security. It is cross-platform and of course, completely open-source. It features unmatched simplicity, end-to-end encryption and powerful extensions..

Proposal

I'll be making two proposal on the standard notes application...The first proposal is adding the "Read only'' feature on Standard notes..

1. Read only feature makes notes applications great, so i suggest that Standard notes developers should take this into consideration and add an option that will enable users to keep their notes on a Read only mode. This option when turn on should make it impossible to edit note stored on Standard notes.

2. The second proposal is adding the ''undo button'' to standard notes..

An undo feature helps a lot when it comes to note taking. I suggest that an undo tab should be added to the writing page of notepad so that a user can easily undo his actions.

Mockups / Examples

1. The feature will be place under settings with a toggle that the user can either switch it on if he chooses to.

The screenshot will show how it will look like...

The undo button should be added on the note menu bar to make it accessible when typing a note..

Benefits

1. This is a great feature anyday, anytime. Because It helps protect the users files from being edited when an unknown user mistakenly go through their notes. When this feature is on it will help make the note readable but not editable.

2. When this is implemented, users will be able to undo their action easily while trying to edit their notes. What we understand like lost of information will not be an issue anymore. The stress involved in trying a word after it has been deleted by mistake will be eliminated. It will make the app more user friendly and smart
