Editing notes without any file management aspect (a standalone notes editor)

Motivation

This is related to the problem of local file sync (#24), and storing notes without encryption (#265).

For me, I see Saber as the next generation of a tool like Xournalpp (https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp). I use it to take notes, and annotate PDFs. These notes and PDFs should, ideally, be distributed throughout my file system; one set of notes might (e.g.) be stored in the same folder as the code for a research project I'm working on.

In a use case like this, there is no need for Saber to have any file management capabilities (and in fact, they just get in the way).

Solution

I'd love a "broken-off" version of saber, which has the note-taking / PDF annotation, but none of the file management / network sync built in. Just another app on my PC (/tablet/phone) with which I can open certain files, edit them, and then save the result. Those resulting files I could then, e.g., email someone else to have them continue working on them. The app has no own data structures where files are stored, with the exception of perhaps something like autosave backups.
