Re: Why no Note view?

Nice use case Aparna.

I've logged a bug and recommended it for our 3-month 1.0 plan.

I think eventually we will need to add a 'Resource' stamp so that you  
can mark certain events as especially important, items that you want  
to keep around as reference material. The Resource Kind would  
eventually grow to accommodate documents, slide presentations,  
articles, papers, and other work materials.
