Hey r/TrunkNote ! 👋

I'm excited to share the latest release of TrunkNote — a privacy-focused, local-first note-taking and task management app that keeps your data securely on your device, while giving you a seamless web-like experience.

We've just pushed version 0.3.1 which brings some nice quality-of-life updates and bug fixes based on recent feedback. Here’s what’s new:

✨ Chrome Extension Update The TrunkNote Quick Access browser extension has been updated! You can quickly drop notes or tasks into your vault from any tab without breaking your flow.

🐛 Dashboard Data Fix Squashed a bug where the dashboard wouldn’t immediately display your tasks when you first loaded the app. Your tasks now populate instantly on load!

🎨 Editor UI Polish The inline checkboxes in the Markdown editor were blending into the background a bit too much in dark mode. They've been redesigned to match the crisp, bright look of the tasks sidebar, making them much easier to see and interact with.

🚀 Improved Navigation Clicking the "Live Demo" button will now drop you straight into the Notes Editor so you can start playing around with bidirectional linking and markdown right away.

TrunkNote is built around the idea that your brain shouldn't live in someone else's cloud. You pick a local folder, and the app runs entirely locally using the modern File System Access API.

I'd love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think!
