Fast capture shortcut

The app is very slow to start, but I want to capture a thought quickly

(For me, this often also involves re-indexing.)

Proposed solution

I don’t recall the details of android app lifecycles off the top of my head, but it seems reasonable that a widget or shortcut could open a plain text editor of either a specific page, or the daily note, without starting the whole of Obsidian. (If you want to load that in the background, that’d be nice, I guess, but the important thing is to let me take notes, QUICKLY.)

Current workaround (optional)

Use Google Keep instead, as a temporary intermediate. (Yes, that sucks)

Mobile quick capture is on the roadmap. There are a few existing quick capture apps that work with Obsidian. On iOS, I use Bebop.
