Allow to export notes as plain text

To make sure they can be recovered easily, without having to deal with JSON parsing or markdown formatting

Hi, I like your project and I think this idea is really useful. Could you also add an option inside a note menu to export that single note to .txt? Maybe below the "Share"option, or inside the "Share menu". It would be great if the app also allowed importing .txt notes (both from within the app and via a file browser).

Hi @miguelfb22 ! You're right, you can easily copy a plain/rich text note to the clipboard, but not a markdown or checklist note. I don't think I'll add a full export to a text file, but just a "Copy a text" button will already be a great improvement, you can then paste in a text file (see #512).

Regarding importing a single note, I'd suggest just copy pasting. Is there a reason that wouldn't be enough in your opinion?
