Feature Request: Option to hide empty daily notes #88

Description

@fahmy12

Feature Requested

Problem

When using the Daily Notes Editor stacked view, empty notes (notes with no content)
are displayed alongside notes that have actual content. This creates visual noise,
especially when scrolling through a long history where many days have no entries.

Proposed Solution

Add a toggle in the plugin settings: "Hide empty daily notes"

When enabled, any daily note with no content (beyond frontmatter/properties) should
be hidden from the stacked view entirely, including its divider.

Current Workaround

This can be partially achieved via a CSS snippet targeting
.daily-note-container[style="min-height: 64px;"], but this is fragile and relies
on an internal implementation detail that may change between versions.

Expected Behavior

  • Empty notes are hidden from the stacked view
  • Notes reappear as soon as any content is added
  • The divider associated with the empty note is also hidden

Why This Matters

Users who journal daily will accumulate many empty notes over time. Hiding them
makes the stacked view significantly cleaner and easier to navigate.
