Feature request: Workspace / team-visible notes across users

Problem

Blinko supports multiple users, comments, and sharing, but notes/blinkos/todos are isolated per account by default. This makes multi-user deployment less useful for families or small teams.

The current share flow seems to be note-by-note, and public links/RSS are not the same as an internal workspace.

Expected behavior

Add a workspace/team mode where users can use their own accounts, create their own blinkos/notes/todos, and optionally make them visible to other users in the same instance.

Suggested design

  1. Add workspace/team visibility:

    • Private: only me
    • Workspace: all users in this instance / selected workspace
    • Shared with specific users
    • Public link
  2. Keep authorship:

    • Show original author/avatar
    • Comments and notifications work across users
  3. Permission options:

    • View only
    • Comment
    • Edit
    • Admin/owner
  4. Optional automation:

    • Notes with specific tags are auto-shared to selected users or a workspace
    • Example: #family, #project-a
  5. Scope:

    • Should apply to blinkos, notes, and todos
    • Search/RAG should respect visibility permissions
    • Attachments and comments should follow the same access rules

Why this matters

For self-hosted family/team use, sharing one account is not ideal because it loses authorship and personal settings. A workspace model would make Blinko much more useful for collaboration while preserving privacy.
