iOS Note app that will help people study, organize and keep things not only on phone, but also on paper

BlockNote

App project for people who make notes, no matter what they do. You make this app your own by using different and customizable blocks that you can reorder, change and make new pages from them. Currently you can create the basic group, edit it later, create some notes with the basic blocks: (spacer, photo, title and text).

blocknote-app's Issues

VIPER

Translate project from MVC to VIPER because of complexity to come

CollectionView on Main Page

Make a new CollectionView on the main page with just notes, not only groups

Statistics View

Stats (with new attributes for entities to track them): creationDate...
Use swift Charts and SwiftUI

Group Edit View

Edit screen for groups (colors, emojis, names and so on)

UITableView prefetch data for Note View

Ideas

New page from block

Transition to another note from noteItem block

Build on TCA

Since MVP is not the best option, I decided to rebuild the project (again) with TCA.

I hope this decomposing on parts will make a huge difference between the new clear code and the mess I have right now, which I don't really want to even touch.

App for Mac

App for iPad

Check constraints on iPad Pro 12.9
