Make it possible to roll up individual elements

Open corypanshin opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

I would like to be able to "roll up" individual elements within a note so that only the top line or two is visible, as is possible in some sticky note programs. That would make it possible to have a large number of snippets in a single note and move them around and group them flexibly. As it is, any element that contains a paragraph or two of text or more, takes up a fairly large amount of screen space and can't be mixed in with smaller snippets. This might not be a problem for someone with a wide monitor set at a high resolution, but it is for me.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the "Stickies" program from that program's website to show what I mean by rolling up a note. In the image, the sticky headed "Lyrics" has a down caret next to the title and shows the full text. The sticky next to it headed "Quote" shows an up caret and only a single sentence of text. In either case, clicking on the caret will roll or unroll that particular sticky.

I understand that there are potential complications, such as what would happen with non-text elements. But something like this is what I'd find most useful to fit my personal style of brainstorming.

Nice idea. The image/drawing elements may be a concern here but I’m sure something could be put there even if it was just “Image 1” or something.
