Feature Request: Support for Rich Text/Hyperlinks paste (e.g. from Telegram) and Markdown preview #94

As a follow-up to this idea, I noticed that the app currently supports only a single level of categories. For managing technical notes (e.g., separating "Linux/Terminal", "Linux/Docker", or "Python/Flask"), a multi-level hierarchy is highly needed to prevent clutter. Instead of completely rewriting the database structure for an assembly tree, perhaps a simpler solution could be implemented: "Virtual Subfolders". If a user creates a category using a slash delimiter (like "Linux / Bash" and "Linux / Docker"), the app's UI could visually group them together and add a small indent in the sidebar menu. This would easily emulate a 2 or 3-level folder structure without breaking the core architecture. Combined with the Rich Text/Markdown paste feature, this would make the app an absolute powerhouse for structured technical note-taking! |

Hey! Basic Markdown/Hyperlink View Mode is already present in the app. Smart Clipboard Parsing (Rich Text to Markdown) sounds like a good idea. Simple Notes Sync - Test APKs (valid for 30 days) Debug APK (with logging, installs alongside release):
Release APK (5.1 MB, signed, same as F-Droid / GitHub Releases / Play Store):
Choose whatever you like to install debug or release. |

Hello!
First of all, thank you for this amazing, clean, and fast project. It is very close to being the perfect minimalist note-taking app. However, there is one critical limitation regarding modern data copy-pasting that holds it back from being a daily driver for many users.
The Problem
Currently, when pasting text that contains embedded hyperlinks (Rich Text / HTML clipboard data from apps like Telegram, Microsoft Word, or web browsers), the app strips all formatting and drops it as flat plain text. This completely destroys valuable metadata (embedded URLs in words), forcing users to manually copy-paste long, ugly URLs (https://...) instead of having neat text links.
Proposed Solutions / Feature Request
Smart Clipboard Parsing (Rich Text to Markdown)
When pasting text, the app should check if text/html data is available in the clipboard. If it contains tags, it would be incredible if the app could automatically convert them into standard Markdown style: word.
Basic Markdown/Hyperlink View Mode
To make these links usable, a simple toggle or preview mode is needed so that the user can actually click on the word or embedded link to open it in a browser, rather than just seeing it as raw code.
This addition would make simple-notes-sync incredibly powerful for offline research, saving technical logs, and capturing information on the go without cluttering the clean UI.
What do you think about adding this to the roadmap? Thank you for your time and hard work!
