In Memos, we can use - [ ] or - [x] to create a list of checkboxes inside a note.
It will be very usefull in Hoarder.
I really like this feature.

Sounds like this? https://github.com/hoarder-app/hoarder/issues/45
ok sounds like this is only for markdown and does not need to work by simply checking the checkbox using the mouse?

I opened a PR to add this feature.
Looks like this:

Unfortunately it is not very tight and that is because of the way those markdowns are displayed in general. They are using tailwindcss with prose, which adds a lot of margin/padding to the items.
I think that styling is something that should be discussed in general though, so I did not make any effort to fix that now.

Yes! this is exactly that.
Need to handle checklist/checkbox.
Creation using markdown or not, on my side I don't care, I think the memos checkbox syntax is easy to use.
And, yes, we must be able to interact with the checkbox with the mouse.

I thing your PR will answer my need, so this ticket can be closed when the release is done.
Thank you.

Is the mouse interaction working? Doesn't seem so in 0.26.0

I also am facing the limitation of not being able to click/check/toggle the Markdown checkboxes, which would be incredibly helpful.
