Directories, filter tags or notebooks

[happy-turtle]

The sync feature of the app nicely fits my use case for a shared grocery list. But the sync feature also lets me wonder about a second use case: shared recipes. But for this I think the app lacks some kind of organization feature. Putting some notes in directories or notebooks, or tagging and filtering the notes would be nice. So I could distinguish e.g. between my personal notes and shared recipes for my family. What do you think about this, what approach would be the best fit?

I would also be open to help on any of this, happy to get involved if that makes sense.

Hello @happy-turtle,

I think it's a great idea to be able to organise notes and checklists even better.
Perhaps with pagination, folders or tags.
I've been thinking about something like this for a while, but I can't find a sensible and subtle way to do it that fits with the app's philosophy - simplicity.

If you'd like to help with coming up with specific ideas or even with implementation, you're more than welcome to do so.

Thanks for being open about this, I appreciate it! I gave it some thought and I already have some ideas on how to implement this in the app. Before I start to try something out though, I am interested in what you think would be the best fit into the current structure of the app, especially on the backend. At first I would definitely tend to subdirectories. I think this would fit best to the WebDAV server as well. And it would also allow to restrict access to specific directories to some users on the server.
The other option is to use a tag or filter property on the notes themselves. I think this requires more work on managing and updating the notes though. And adds additional overhead to the core structure.
