Too easy to delete a note (follow up)

Hi

I saw this other post (https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/deleting-is-too-easy/) and I agree with the OP. It’s too easy to delete a note.

Hope you don’t mind me being too “straight forward” about this next opinion, but I always find it that developers have this very weird idea that users need to be some kind of “computer savvy” people in order to do something that a simple button (or warning) would solve.

You (the developer) said that the post is in the database. Why would a user need to know what a database is, how to find it, how to retrieve a note, etc, when this can be done in the frontend? Remember that users of a WordPress website are not necessarily the ones who installed it. And even if they are, like myself, the whole process of opening my cPanel page, going to the database, finding where the notes are, etc, etc, etc, just to retrieve a deleted note, seems very convoluted. Especially for a plugin that’s clearly not aimed at “computer savvy” people. It’s just a notes plugin. A simple warning as the OP suggested would be a good first step, but also a way to access the deleted notes and restore them, would be a huge improvement. For all these years that the plugin exists, I find it weird that this is still not implemented.

Again, don’t take this personally. I’m just very straight forward and I think that some things are so obvious, that I’m always amazed at how developers don’t think about them, or suggest these very complex workflows expecting the user to be “computer savvy” or even have the energy to go through it.

Anyway, I appreciate your work, regardless.

Hope you can take this opinion as a step towards the improvement of an already great plugin.

Best,

Tiago
