Folder Notes Panel

This started from a very practical problem. I often work with many folders that each need context, reminders, or instructions, especially during video editing where every clip has its own prompt. Keeping everything in separate note files or one big notepad was slow and confusing. The problem I wanted to solve was simple: folder context is missing in Windows Explorer. Files have names, but folders don’t have a place to explain what they are for. My approach evolved by focusing on staying lightweight and invisible. Instead of building a full notes app, I narrowed it down to one idea: notes should appear automatically only when you open the folder, and disappear when you don’t need them. Over time, I simplified the UI, removed distractions, and made it feel like a natural part of Explorer rather than a separate app.
