Feature Request: New Note Shortcut Widget

[Stowaway2979]

• What should be added
  • An Android widget for Simple Notes Sync that immediately starts a new note.
• Why is it useful
  • Sometimes, notes need to be jotted down immediately or the information could be forgotten. For example, "ABC123 is the license plate of that car," or, "Left, Right, Right, Left to get to the destination." With a shortcut, the time between unlocking the device and typing is minimized.
• How could it work
  • The user adds the widget to their home screen. When an opportunity to take a new note arises, the user can press the widget and be immediately taken to the new note screen to start typing.

Personal Note
I just discovered your app and I'm very impressed by it. I used to have a Oneplus 3T that used the OnePlus Notes app to make new note popups as a widget on the homescreen. That was the best app I ever used for ephemeral notes in the moment. It was very quick to create a temporary note a few words long while busy and then delete the note when I transferred the information where it needs to go. Simple Notes Sync is not exactly the same, but I think it has the most potential out of all the apps I have tried to fill that use case for me.

I'm going to make a point of using Simple Notes Sync over the next few weeks to get familiar with its features. I wish that I could do a pull request to contribute directly rather than just asking, but I don't know any Kotlin. Thanks for considering this feature!

Wow, that was quick! I had a chance to try out this feature, and it worked exactly like how I imagined it would. Thanks!
