Add note word count

[tjmclain]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I'm doing certain types of writing, e.g. creative writing or my morning journal, I set a target for myself to hit a certain word count. I'm used to being able to view that somewhere inside the writing app that I'm working in, but I can't do that in Standard Notes.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to be able to see the word count for the current note I'm working on somewhere. In the "..." is fine, but it would be way better if I could see it as I'm writing.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I found an extension called "action-bar" that is a pain to set up and doesn't work consistently. It also requires me to have a local server running, which is serious overkill for what I'm trying to do. I can find the word count by copy-pasting the text of my note somewhere else, but that means leaving the app to do something that I would expect to be able to do inside the app. It's really inconvenient.

Hi @tjmclain, there is also a character/word/paragraph counter for plain text, but I'm afraid we've yet to adapt this counter for other note types like Super and Rich Text 🙏

Ah, thanks for letting me know! I mostly work in super notes so that explains why I wasn't seeing that. I can definitely switch to a plaintext note type for the times I do want to see the word count. Is adding that info for super notes on the roadmap? My problem is solved now, but it would be cool to have that!
