Description

By now, when I create a new note I can NOT:

  1. add its name
  2. pick or add the category
  3. favour it

as there are no specific UI controls for that
Image

So, when a note is created it appears somewhere below with the name taken from the first words, without any category and you have to manually add all these things.

I suggest to move these controls to the newly created note in order a user may adjust them immediately when having created a note.

Research direction

Start by locating the web UI entry point for creating and editing notes, then reproduce the current creation flow. Done means the new-note UI lets users set a name, choose or add a category, and mark the note as a favourite immediately after creation.
