current post.

I wanted to try to create something like this with chat GPT but I gave up after 
3 hours.. I was a bit down because of the lost time and then I found this gem! Really
love it… deserves many more upvotes – especially when you work on content pages 
with a team.

Kuba, this is the most amazing idea (it deserves more than 5 starts) Unofficially
I give you 10 (**********). I don’t understand how WordPress didn’t add a simple
notes field like this before. I’m using a Theme that allows me to use different 
editors, that is crazy, but it helps as some editors allow elements that other editors
don’t implement, and it was a mess keeping track of which page was done with wich
editor. Now, I just add this to the Note. Well done. FYI. Wordpress says that this
plugin hasn’t been tested on the latest WP version (5.8.1). So far it is working
as intended.
