That's amazing! Immediately installed!
I have some questions though:
How do I set the size? It's using up all but like 50px of the width of my screen

I do recommend installing the Advanced Panel Control for everyone who uses plugs or libraries which live in the sidepanel. You can resize the panel dragging the resize handle. Or you can even detach the sidepanel into a fldoating window. And you can even open another another editor in the sidepanel. That’s why in all my sidepanel
Libraries I rely on Advanced Panel a control library.

For the new entry button, will it use a template? How could I set that? (I also have an editor command already setup, so perhaps a config could ask for a command to run?

This is still my go to solution on handling journal templates:

what do you have in mind on using in the template file. you can use any page as template, but it won’t evaluate the lua functions inside them. if you have functions in the template, this simple approach will only get’s the template as string and no functions. to use functions or REAL Template files it’s more complicated to implement. here is a simple approach to get the contents of the template as string from an external page local template = space.readPage("Library/Custom/NewJournalEntry")…

As discussed before this covers the majority of users use cases. For custom journaling needs and templates you might need to come up with a personalized solution for yourself.

My journal entries have a bit of a preamble and no title for the snippet. Is there any way to customize that? (e.g. for me the snippet should start after the text "What's been on your mind?". I could see a regex likely handling most use cases)

The title and preview extraction doesn’t support function rendering it only extracts the literal text (first line as title) and the next lines as preview. If there is a ${function()} in the first line it takes it as a literal text and only the editor will render it properly. (Sorry)
But as you recommended, maybe I could add a config option to skip ${functions()} or even X-number of lines. I’ll think about it, but for this I would need the exact template or a dummy journal entry to see what does your journal entry look like.
