[Mobile] Show date created & modified for notes. Show file & subfolder count in folder context menu

Use case or problem

These tooltips are very useful on desktop but unfortunately you can’t access them on mobile.


Proposed solution

Put the file & subfolder count under the folder name in folder context menu:

Put timestamps either in note context menu under note title:

or under note title in the right sidebar:

If the latter, so as to avoid visual clutter, word/character count, date created & date modified could be switched between by tapping on them. That’s how Apple Notes does it: at first it shows date last modified; when you tap on the date, it switches to date created; when you tap on it again, it switches back but adds a label.

Current workaround (optional)

Make do w/ timestamps in YAML frontmatter.
