+- **Welcome dashboard** — recent notes and an optional local weather card fill the editor when no note is open
+- **Private-by-default weather** — configure a location in the app; it is stored with your notes and sent to wttr.in only to retrieve weather
+- **Celsius/Fahrenheit choice** — the weather table keeps both scales and switches without refetching
+- **Welcome quotes** — save quote/author pairs that rotate beneath the welcome message
+- **Mobile weather page** — `View → Weather` opens a mobile-first weather screen on phones
+- **Mobile welcome page** — `View → Welcome` opens a simplified header/quotes/recent-notes screen on phones
+- **Quieter welcome state** — with nothing open the empty preview pane, tab, and toggle are omitted
+- **Theme changes keep your place** — changing themes while editing returns to the open note
