What is Omni Notes (Beta)?
Omni Notes is an open-source note taking application, designed to be lightweight and simple without giving up smart behavior.
Source code : https://github.com/federicoiosue/Omni-Notes
Component(s)
As I was using this android open-source application named “ Omni Notes ”, I had noticed that under the section wherein you can find the Notes you have created, there is no specific date and time of creation for every notes.
Example Situation (To know and better understand the importance of this suggestion)
It was last month when I had made some notes using Omni Notes. The said notes are important notes which I need to take down for future references (now or on the next days). However, all I remember is that I made those notes last month but I don't remember exactly when it really was. I also forgot the time when I have made those notes. The thing here is even though I will be able to see when it has been updated since it says " Updated: 2 weeks ago (For Example) " , I still have to count the days backward just to discover when it really was. And though I will be able to discover the exact date, the time will still unknown.
Proposal
From the given situation above, the title of this contribution suggests that the developers of Omni Notes should add a feature wherein every Note will have a specified date and time not just specifying how many weeks or months it has been updated like for example Updated: 2 weeks ago . In order to make this suggestion possible, the Counter developers should make some enhancement on their application from which this suggestion will be included and so as to be implemented. To make this suggestion easier to interpret, the author of this contribution post provided the current format as well as his suggested format.
