Poznote 6.39.0

This release is all about making the dashboard yours: colors, pinned notes, and a customizable toolbar, plus drag & drop import and storage statistics.

New Features

• Note and folder colors

  Assign a color to any note or folder to tint its card on the dashboard. Eight colors are available by default (Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, Purple, Pink, Gray), and you can pick a custom hex color for a one-off.

  The palette itself is editable in Settings > Note colors: add, rename, recolor, or remove entries. Notes that use a palette color follow it, so recoloring an entry updates every note using it at once.

  A new filter on the dashboard lets you show all notes, only colored notes, notes without a color, or notes of one specific color.

  Thanks to @tlibouban for the suggestion and the detailed write-up!

  #1165

• Pin notes to the top

  Pin the notes you come back to most, and they stay at the top of the dashboard whatever sort order you use. Available from the note card menu.

• Drag & drop import in the sidebar

  Drop .md, .html, .txt, .json or .zip files directly onto the notes sidebar to import them. Drop them on a folder to import into that folder, or anywhere else to import at the root. Unsupported files are skipped with a clear message, and read-only workspaces are respected.

  Thanks again to @tlibouban for this one!

  #1166

• Storage statistics

  A new Storage statistics entry in Settings shows how many notes you have and how much disk space they use, split between database, note files, and attachments. Administrators see the breakdown for every account, regular users see their own.

• Markdown editor font

  Choose the font used while editing a markdown note, independently of the main interface font. The rendered preview keeps the app font.

  Thanks to @Stephane-30 for the idea!

  #1147

• Diary entry format

  A new Diary entry format setting lets you choose whether new diary entries are created as HTML notes (default) or markdown notes.

  Thanks to @Stephane-30 for asking for this one!

  #1137

• Dashboard toolbar customization

  The UI customization modal gains a Dashboard Toolbar section, along with a global toggle to show or hide every element at once.

Improvements

• A quick link at the top of the dashboard opens Settings directly.
• Creating a diary entry now routes straight to the entry, and cache versioning keeps the view up to date.
• Changing your display name updates the badge immediately instead of showing a stale value.
• Clearer error handling when the GitHub version check cannot reach the API.
• Railway deployment instructions added to the README.

API

• PUT /notes/{id}/color and PUT /folders/{id}/color set or remove a card color. Note and folder objects now expose both color (the stored palette id or hex) and color_hex (the resolved color).

Thanks to @tlibouban and @Stephane-30 for the suggestions and ideas behind this release!
