Multiple colors for notes

Opened this issue · 2 comments

What would you like to be added?

I've thought up two different ways of making it possible :

  1. Display multiple colors in one pill or add multiple pills next to the note, if multiple criteria are met in one note.
  2. For each color added, make it possible to add different criteria with AND/OR in between.

Why is this needed?

To reduce dev time, I think you could resolve this issue #53 without designing a way to show the metadata in each view. The colors will indicate the note's metadata based on the rules set. But the rules will have to be powerful enough to replace actually showing the metadata.

The only issue is that the user will have to configure the colors manually.

  1. This is an interesting idea. Right now, the color is assigned based on the first condition that matches.
  2. I think we can track this along with #279.

I don't think colors is enough to resolve #53. The way I see it, note coloring gives you a visual hint, but you'd likely want to see the actual data as well.

I suggest that we focus on multiple colors for notes in this issue.

I agree.
