Needs an "add categories" button

[Taraiph]

The four categories right now are rather broad. While this is fine, it also makes searching for certain things a pain without constant re-evaluation. The ability to add new categories to fit a person's world or add on new information to an entry would be a much-appreciated addition.

Won't be the next version (which will be switching to 5-minute autosaving and CTRL+S for more normal saving stuff). Will try to get it into the next version after that.

Definitely going to be a bit of work to implement, but the code is basically set up for it to work. Making the editor will be the hard part. BUT HEY! That's half the fun!

I would love to see this feature. I recently stumbled upon this app and was wondering if there was a way to add new categories.

I'm not sure if this project is still alive but I would love to see this happening. * - * I would gladly help even if it requires me to learn Javascript. I'm a game artist so it's not my strong point even tho I've coded before in C# and Java*, but hell yeah.
*: And a few others.

Hey! The project is definitely alive but I'm deep in the middle of development on a game at the moment so I don't have a ton of time to put into it. I did start on the basic concept for how to handle it but I haven't gotten around to writing the layout output code yet (it only does sidebars icons, I think) and it definitely doesn't do any of the code or rewrite handling.

If you want to take a crack it it take a look at the stuff I started in functionsdynamic.js and I'm happy to help point you in the directions I was thinking of going.

The short version is there will be a layout section of the database json that defines what section has which rows and a column width (out of 12). And what datatype it is. Those types will drive front end layout stuff.

At the moment, planned options are text, multiline, picture, and display since they should cover just about everything. And then basically replicating the current front-end code but by dynamically working through the layout object. And then grabbing the data from the proper database objects by parsing through the fields ("id", "name", etc) and grabbing the corresponding entry data.

Obviously after that a front-end editor would be nice for making layouts but I consider that to be a nice-to-have and the early version would likely just be adding a text editor with direct access to the layout json for manual editing since it's pretty easy to follow.
