Editor

Folge's editor is the heart of the app. It is split into three parts: Steps List, Image Editor, and Properties Sidebar. Steps can be moved and reordered by dragging and dropping, and this is organized in nested instructions. The Image Editor provides a wide range of tools to modify your screenshots as you need them. And finally, each step can be titled and given a description that will be exported in the final guide.

Set status for each step: in progress, to-do, done for better indication
Add new steps on the fly from new captures, existing images, clipboard content, or have no-image steps
