Add topics to the wiki: inbox, notes, archive

Describe your feature request

As far as I know, there is no explanation in the wiki or elsewhere of what these things are/how they work: inbox, notes, and archive. It could be good to add brief explanations of the sidebar buttons to the wiki. I'd be happy to do it myself, but first I need some help understanding. Here is my guess:

Inbox: In Ulysses the inbox is where you put notes that you haven't organized yet. In FSNotes I'm not sure how the inbox works. When I click it, nothing happens, probably because I'm not using it right

Notes: Not sure 🤷‍♂️

Archive: I've never used it but I think you can archive notes and they will disappear from the main lists and go to the archive

If someone can help with these questions, I will submit a contribution to the wiki

As far as I can tell the source of truth is the [isFit method] (https://github.com/glushchenko/fsnotes/blob/973a483f4191dc93ff9610e60c2d2d46e4f995e3/FSNotes/ViewController.swift#L1811).

In Preferences > General we have a Default Storage folder, and in Preferences > Advanced an Archive Storage folder. Inbox only shows files in the default folder, Archive only shows files in the archive folder. Notes shows files from both folders.

Hmm, I just tried archiving a file and for me it removed it from Notes and Inbox

I'm not familiar with the code, but there seems to be a "project" feature that's not exposed in the UI. So Notes may just mean the same as Inbox.
