Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Adding creation date and time metadata to the note would help the app to be used as a way to take quick log notes. Date and time is a simple but valuable piece of information that makes a note relevant; adding creation time to every note manually is cumbersome.

My use case is to use this app as lightweight, quick to open front-end to take quick notes, which could later be used by more advanced pkm apps like org-mode or logseq, because of this app has the wonderful feature of saving its data in plain text format as a .org file.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add "creation time" metadata to the note in the org file.
