    After having quickly searched for something similar, I don't think the below as been proposed yet.
    Apologies if it has.

    The idea:

    • being able to leave quick (internal) notes / information / instruction for a given app.

    This is specially useful if the app in managed by multiple admins/operators, to keep track of some changes or remind of a given set of parameters/circumstances etc...

    Mostly useful also to offer the possibility to give the end user more information about the app: what is the app about, remind the user how to log in (which login to use) etc....

    Here is how I imagine this could work:

    For Admins:
    For an admin, you access the notes via the cog wheel of the app via the dashboard
    App Hover - admin-operator view.png

    Then you access them via the new "Notes" section as per below:
    Settings - Admin view.png
    Where you can create / leaves notes for other admins or operators or users.

    /// /// ///

    For Operators:
    Identical to admins, you access the notes via the cog wheel
    App Hover - admin-operator view.png

    Then you access them via the new "Notes" section as per below:
    Settings - Operator view.png

    /// /// ///

    For Users:
    You access the notes via the "notes" icon of the app via the dashboard
    App Hover - User view.png

    The user is then presented with the "notes" view - Similar to a settings view for admin, but presenting notes in read only format.
    Notes - User view.png

    The added bonus would be to be able to keep track/version of the various notes and notes modification thanks to a basic version history (being able to revert / look at previous notes)

    Nothing revolutionary but I believe this could add value for the actors of a Cloudron instance.
    Of course this could take many other forms, but hopefully the general idea makes sense.

      This is great timing, we are actually working on a similar feature to leave notes by admins for other admins at the moment though. The current UI mostly is just:

      Which can be edited by any admin and seen by any admin for a start.

        @nebulon Excellent - This looks great!

        I think for us, the notes for users would also be most relevant.
        To cater to a diverse range of users with various skills and IT literacy levels, one cannot provide enough easily accessible info and so having a place where one can keep a short reminder of what a given app is all about and how to access it more in details would be very valuable.

          I' would also need the notes, My use case would be more to add the customers contacts : name - email - phone numbers.

            I would like to be able to leave a note alongside a particular application backup, too.
