Big fan of the approach. Would be a lot easier to use IMO if you could live edit in Markdown rather than having to toggle back and forth between preview mode and editing.
Also curious how hard it would be conceptually/architecturally to introduce federated sharing and realtime collaboration concepts while maintaining the data-centric approach; e.g. if all docs had GUIDs you could imagine having realtime collab if two people agree on the same server, (or I guess some much crazier P2P discovery thing if you want to get really wild with it).
- mobitar 10y agoWe want to do something like this through extensions. The goal of this app is to last really long, so it has to stay simple, otherwise bloat, debt, and inevitable abandon ensues. Extensions are pretty powerful and can handle collaboration. You can build things like revision control as well. Right now Dropbox sync is available as an extension: https://standardnotes.org/extensions https://standardnotes.org/extensions
- frio 10y agoIt looks like extensions essentially fire off your note data to third parties. Is there a method for extensions to add Javascript to the running application instead?
- mobitar 10y agoData can be sent off either encrypted or decrypted, with encrypted by default. Javascript extensions are unlikely as they would make the app really busy and probably unmaintainable.
- frio 10y agoOK, thanks :). The itch I'd like to scratch is some features from TaskPaper; my ideal "Notes" app is an open-source, cross-platform combination of TaskPaper and nvALT. However, adding nvALT-ish-ness and TaskPaper-ish-ness would require some heavy UI extensions. I'll ignore the extensions API for now and have a twiddle with the guts of the webapp. Cheers!
