Shipped in v1.25.0 🎉 Notes now open in a rendered Markdown reader by default. Opening an existing note shows the formatted content; a segmented Read / Edit toggle switches to the editor and back within the same modal, and new notes still open directly in the editor. Both views stay mounted, so switching never discards unsaved input and the reader always reflects your latest edits. On mobile this also reduces the chance of accidental edits, and the editor footer (Cancel/Save) is hidden while reading. Thanks for the well-scoped suggestion! |

When opening a note, it currently goes straight into edit mode. For Markdown notes, this makes reading less comfortable and reduces the practical value of writing notes in Markdown in the first place.
It would be great to have a reader mode for Notes, with edit mode as a separate action.
Possible behavior:
Open notes in rendered Markdown view by default.
Add an Edit button to switch into editor mode.
Keep a quick toggle between read and edit views.
Optionally remember the last-used mode per user or device.
Why this would help:
Better readability for longer notes.
Markdown formatting becomes actually useful in day-to-day use.
Safer viewing on mobile, with less chance of accidental edits.
More natural workflow for recipes, family memos, and reference notes.
The current Notes module is already described as colored sticky notes with Markdown, so a rendered read view seems like a natural fit for the feature.
