📒 Journal Module User Guide

FlexNote provides a built-in Journal module to help you record daily thoughts, tasks, learning, or life moments organized by date. The journal is not just a simple note page but deeply integrated with the card system, tags, and supports structured organization and cross-module collaboration.
