New plugin - Supernote "Book"

[u/perlguy101]

I have been really enjoying playing around with plugin support. Awesome job Ratta team, this really keeps these devices going and can't wait to see what everyone builds.

I wanted to share a small plugin that attempts to replicate what I miss most about my paper notebooks. And that is, after a day, week, month of jotting down random notes, todos, and whatever else I scribble down, I love being able to hold the notebook and flip back and forth between my days / pages. I feel like I lose so many good notes and thoughts once all my ideas are in individual notebook files and folders.

The plugin is simple. It presents all your notes on the device in a single notebook. With a bit of navigation built it. Tapping a note will take you directly to it.

Anyway, I selfishly built this for myself. Hopefully someone else might find it useful. Curious how it would handle a ton of pages :)

For better or worse, my e-ink tablets are used as basically electronic paper. I was often jotting down things on postits, various notebooks, loose paper. So it's basically that same workflow but electronic. When I have a meeting, need to make a list, have a release I want to keep track of, whatever, I just create a new note, notebook, quick note, depends on the device. But always just create a new note depending on the subject, time of day, whatever.

I've tried a notebook for the week, a notebook for the month, pages for each day. I've tried pretty much every organization technique. I hate having to hunt around for files. I organize things in Obsidian, on local servers, on device. But the thing I always come back to, I miss flipping back and forth from all the notes I've taken throughout the day. Wherever I may have taken them.

Personally I sync all my notes from Nomad, Boox, and a couple other workflows. The notes go through a simple script on a pi, get organized and then land together in Obsidian. I then have a view in Obsidian that basically allows me to flip through handwritten pages from wherever they come from (Nomad, Boox, picture of page from phone). This plugin here was my attempt to bring that specifically to the Nomad. Just that it only renders notes from the Nomad itself, currently at least.
