Disclaimer: I’m not a developer so I have no idea if these feature ideas are possible for the plugin.
It would be amazing if pinning a note would make the edges of that note a new edge upon which notes will stack. This would mean you could easily bring notes into permanent focus when you need to compare them with another note and simply unpin when you no longer need to compare. This might be comparable to the UX of Roam’s sidebar workflow.
Another potential upgrade to replicate Roam, though I’m not sure how easy it would be, is if we could shift-click a note title to rearrange a note to the far left and pin it like above. This would replicate Roam’s ability to move notes from the “sidebar” into the left-most pane.
If a note is already pinned on the left-most pane, then shift-clicking a note title could move it to the second-left pane, which would also then make it easy to rearrange “sidebar” notes in the case that you have too many headers stacked up.
For example, I have 10 notes open, I want to compare Note 7 with all of the other notes, I simply shift-click the title to move it to Note 1 position, then pin it to keep it in focus while I scroll the other notes. If I then want to compare Note 1 to Note 10, Note 2-9 would be stacked in between, so I shift-click Note 10 title to move it to Note 2 position, and so on.
