in this chapter, you will learn about note component, representing single note, it is obviously the most crucial component of the Notius.
You can imagine one note in Notius as one note sticker. Note is usually displayed in view mode and when neccessary it can be switched to edit mode.
It's apperance may vary little bit based on concrete note type, board it is in, other properties and its current fullscreen state.
One single note can be part of multiple boards (link) or does not need to be in any board at all. Note component offers hover-based interaction, editing, tagging, resizing, encryption and more.
