Description

YNAB has a nifty feature where you can add notes to accounts. This allows to add certain tags to accounts and then add programatic functionality to them. For example: automatic investment account update.

This proposal is to add notes to accounts so that similar functionality could also be achieved in Actual.

Backend

The existing backend API would be used for the notes: the notes table.

UI

Here is a demo of the proposed UI:

Parting thoughts

Please let me know what you think. If you are happy with the proposal and the UI, I'll gladly prepare a PR and send it over.
