Summary
I would like to suggest a layout enhancement for Daily Notes, drawing inspiration from Logseq’s journal view. The goal is to implement a dual-column synchronized navigation system where Daily Notes can be browsed as a continuous vertical stream in one pane while maintaining the standard single-file editor in the main pane.
Proposed Workflow
Primary Column (Middle): Functions as the active editor, displaying the currently selected Daily Note as it does now.
Secondary Column (Right Side): A dedicated "Continuous Feed" of all Daily Notes. Users can scroll vertically through days (e.g., today, yesterday, the day before) without manually opening separate files.
Key Functionalities
Bi-directional Syncing:
Right-to-Middle: As the user scrolls through the continuous feed in the right column, the focus in the middle column automatically updates to match the file currently visible in the right-side viewport.
Middle-to-Right: When a user selects or switches to a specific date via the calendar or file explorer (updating the middle column), the right column should automatically jump or smooth-scroll to that specific entry.
Seamless Infinite Scroll: The right column should lazily load Daily Notes to provide a "Logseq-like" experience, allowing for quick review of past entries without the friction of opening/closing multiple tabs.
Use Case & Benefits
Contextual Review: It becomes much easier to see patterns over a week or month by simply scrolling, rather than clicking through a calendar.
Efficiency: This layout reduces the "context switching" tax. Users can keep their primary focus on writing today’s note in the middle column while quickly glancing at yesterday’s tasks or notes on the right.
Navigation: It provides a tactile, visual way to navigate history that feels more natural than a standard file list.
Implementation Suggestion
This could be implemented as a specific "Journal View" toggle or a dedicated plugin/sidebar component that recognizes files within the configured Daily Notes folder.
