Home screen widget for quick view of note
A home screen widget that would let you view a note and quickly open it to edit it.
You can add a shortcut to your Home Screen to open a specific notebook (see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1179331) or to create a new note in a specific notebook (see http://feedback.squidnotes.com/knowledgebase/articles/1179328).
It does not appear to be possible to create a widget that allows for taking handwritten notes directly on the Home Screen (due to the fact that you need to be able to swipe left/right to get to different pages on your Home Screen). Please vote here if you’re interested in a widget that shows a particular note on your Home Screen (and allows you to open it quickly to edit it).

A home screen widget for quick note viewing would be incredibly useful — being able to glance at important info and tap once to edit saves so much time, especially for people managing tasks on the go. Features like this really improve productivity and organization. And speaking of efficient tools, anyone handling business closures might also find this resource helpful: https://capitalclosure.ae/dso-company-liquidation-services-in-dubai/

A home screen widget for quick note viewing would be super useful—being able to see important info at a glance and jump right into editing saves so much time. It’s the kind of simple productivity boost more apps should offer. Also, if you’re upgrading your workspace setup, check out https://smarttintsolutionsmia.com/commercial-window-tinting-in-miami/

That shortcut is almost identical to Squid icon. Being able to see a particular note (daily to do) in a big widget would be great. I switched back to SNotes because of this.

Jepp, that's basically what I'd consider as sufficient enough :) Currently, I have to rely on at least one Samsung Notes note which is placed on my Homescreen e.g. as my daily todo-list. It's totally fine if a click on the widget opens up the note in-app, as long as the widget updates itself afterwards as well.
So my use case is: some notes are for my daily "business" and I want to have them within my viewport ON MY HOMESCREEN. Therefore I'd be super happy with a widget which shows a distinct note.

@Andrew Huges. Hmm, yes, I can see the issue with taking handwritten notes on a screen that is gesture-driven. You would think that these screens would allow widgets to be register that they accept specific inputs including gestures and that the screens would then pass these on to the widgets and not handle them. Seems like a short-sightedness in the implementation.
Oh, and for those that say that one couldn't perform certain actions on these screens if widgets could register themselves as handlers for some of the, well, no, because there's' always some extra space around widgets to allow for gesture input as widget dimensions are restricted. And, at the end of the day, flexibility is the key of Android. Let users decide what works for them and what doesn't.

@Andrew Huges. Yeah, the name-change is unfortunate, but I understand and sympathise with you guys.

@Andreas We would have loved to keep the name Papyrus! I completely agree that it's a more meaningful name. Unfortunately, we were forced to change it and Squid is what we chose in the short time we had.

Look at the date of this suggestion and the product name... Things have certainly changed in one way yet remained unchanged in others... We still have no such widget support, but, at least we have a less meaningful product name. 😛

I think that people would like the ability to have a widget on the home screen which let you see all your notes without opening the app.

Squid is better than S-Note in many things except for the absence of widgets.

I like the " simple sticky note widget " (you can find in playstore). I think it is the best note widget but hasn't the functionality like squid....so please add widget with this app's functionality

Squid is my number one note taking app but sometimes I need handwritten note displayed on my homescreen to act as a reminder. For this I use a rival. Please incorporate this.

I would like that the app has a widget and an option that we could add date/time in order to remember us the note.

And the addition of having it added to the galaxy note's "pen window" options. I'm not sure if that would be the Papyrus team or something for Samsung to change.
