## Description

**Beckin Post Notes** gives editors a fast, private way to attach notes to individual
_posts, pages, and custom post types_, right where they work. Notes are stored as
post meta and only visible to users who can edit the post.

**Why it’s unique**
 1. Most “notes” plugins add _global dashboard notes_. This 
one is **contextual**, notes live _on the post or page itself_ and appear in the
list table. 2. **Zero clutter:** no admin menus, no persistent banners, no database
tables. 3. **Clean and compliant:** sanitized input, nonces, capability checks, 
no direct SQL.

**Features**
 – Side metabox labeled automatically (e.g. “Post Note” or “Page Note”).–“
Note” column in the list table with a note 📝 icon when a note exists. – New **filter
dropdown**: quickly show only posts _with_ or _without_ notes. – Only users who 
can edit the post can view or edit its note. – Extendable: use `beckin_postnotes_supported_post_types`
to enable notes on custom post types.

**Extendable Example**:
 Simply add a small snippet of code in a theme or by using
a code snippet plugin

    ```
    add_filter( 'beckin_postnotes_supported_post_types', fn( $types ) => array_merge( $types, [ 'your_custom_post_type' ] ) );
    ```
