Hi Sir, I am Srijan! I'm a new contributor to Joplin and I'd love to work on this issue.

I went through the screen recording, but I'm having trouble understanding the exact expected behavior/implementation. Could you please clarify what the desired outcome is or point me to the relevant part of the codebase or documentation? I'd appreciate any guidance before I start working on it.

Hi! Thank you for your interest in the project. At the moment, this project is part of GSoC and is still under active development, so we're not accepting external contributions for it yet. Regarding the UI part it is still under devlopment.

I really appreciate your enthusiasm though. Once the project is completed and contributions are opened up, we'd be happy to have community involvement. Thanks again for your interest!
