Front matter support

[gglanzani]

I was wondering if front matter support (via yaml, f.e.) will be available in the future.

It would allow extra metadata such as date

This isn't something that I have any plans for, but wouldn't be against it if there were sufficient demand.

I just started using flatnotes (nice app btw) and was surprised it wasn't already using front matter. It's more common in flat file blogging platforms in my experience, but I had assumed going in that that's where it would keep track of tags and other metadata. I also imagine that knowing the creation date would be helpful as your notes library grows, and creation date could possibly be another sorting option too.

I agree with adding front matter support. So my markdown notes will also be usable across other platforms. Thanks.
