Why

Inkdrop’s workspace view keeps you inside one project. Ours replaced the sidebar every time you clicked a child notebook, so siblings disappeared and tags/statuses only counted the selected folder.

What

  • Click a notebook to enter a workspace: sidebar shows that node and its descendants
  • Selecting a child keeps the same tree; All Notes in a workspace lists the whole tree
  • Tags/status counts use the tree
  • Escape or breadcrumb home returns to All Notes

No marketplace, clipper, or mobile.

Test

  • pnpm --filter desktop exec vitest run src/renderer/utils/__tests__/notebookTree.test.ts src/renderer/utils/__tests__/listOptionsFromNav.test.ts src/renderer/stores/__tests__/navigationStore.test.ts
  • pnpm --filter @dripnex/storage-core exec vitest run tests/in-memory-repository.test.ts

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added Workspace view for focused notebook navigation and browsing.
    • Enter a workspace from the sidebar, navigate its notebook tree, and return to All Notes using the breadcrumb or Escape.
    • Added workspace-aware Templates navigation and sidebar visibility.
    • All Notes now supports filtering across multiple notebooks within a workspace.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved note filtering so workspace results include notes from all applicable notebooks while excluding deleted notes.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new Workspace view behavior and navigation options.

Selecting a notebook now keeps that tree in the sidebar when you
open a child, so sibling notebooks stay visible. Escape and the
breadcrumb home leave the workspace.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds workspace-focused notebook navigation. The navigation store tracks workspace context, the sidebar renders workspace subtrees, and note queries filter across descendant notebook IDs. Note-list APIs and repositories now support multiple notebook IDs.

Changes

Workspace navigation and filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-notebook note filtering
apps/desktop/src/main/handlers/noteHandlers.ts, apps/desktop/src/preload/api/types.ts, packages/storage-core/src/types/ListNotesOptions.ts, packages/storage-core/src/repositories/InMemoryNoteRepository.ts, packages/storage-sqlite/src/repositories/SQLiteNoteRepository.ts, packages/storage-core/tests/in-memory-repository.test.ts
Note-list options accept up to 256 validated notebookIds. Repository filtering uses the list before the single notebookId fallback.
Workspace navigation state and tree utilities
apps/desktop/src/renderer/stores/navigationStore.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/stores/__tests__/navigationStore.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/notebookTree.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/__tests__/notebookTree.test.ts
The navigation store tracks the workspace root and whole-workspace listing state. Tree utilities find nodes, collect descendant IDs, and check subtree membership.
Workspace-scoped query integration
apps/desktop/src/renderer/hooks/useNavigation.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/listOptionsFromNav.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/utils/__tests__/listOptionsFromNav.test.ts
Navigation hooks derive workspace notebook IDs. Note queries and sidebar counts pass workspace filtering options.
Workspace sidebar interactions
apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/sidebar/NotebookList.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/sidebar/Sidebar.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/data/nowBoard.md, docs/NOW.md
The sidebar renders a selected workspace subtree and supports workspace entry, exit, breadcrumbs, templates, visibility rules, and Escape handling. Documentation records the Workspace view behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 37e32

Deleting the active workspace root can leave the sidebar empty and keep note counts scoped to a notebook that no longer exists; the note-list API also has inconsistent behavior when an empty notebook set is supplied alongside a notebook ID. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

In `@apps/desktop/src/renderer/components/sidebar/Sidebar.tsx`:
- Around line 138-146: Update the deletion flow between
NotebookList.handleDelete and Sidebar.handleSelectNotebook so deleting the
active workspace root clears workspaceRootId before selecting Inbox. Preserve
the existing workspace context for ordinary child notebook selection.

In `@packages/storage-core/src/types/ListNotesOptions.ts`:
- Around line 20-21: Define empty notebookIds as matching no notebooks,
preserving its override of notebookId. Update ListNotesOptions.ts lines 20-21 to
document this contract, adjust the InMemoryNoteRepository notebook filtering at
lines 295-298 and SQLiteNoteRepository filtering at lines 68-72 to return no
matches for an empty array, and add the combined notebookIds: [] plus notebookId
case in in-memory-repository.test.ts lines 130-135.

Selecting Inbox after delete kept workspaceRootId on a gone
notebook. Empty notebookIds now match nothing, not notebookId.
