I have setup a self hosted note server[0] on Raspberry PI. Here's my workflow:
- Remembered a todo or note? Type note in your browser address bar with keyword 'pin' prefixed
pin todo!pay the rent
pin grocery!handwash
pin watchlist!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j800SVeiS5I
- Note gets saved in markdown document like todo.md, grocery.md and watchlist.md. 'pin' is the keyword I have configured for my Pi server and browser thinks its a search engine.
- A http shortcut on Android when clicked shows a dialog box with todo.md contents.
- Edit/View notes using mapped network drive in your favorite markdown editor both on desktop/mobile. You can also view all the notes in your browser.

- hobos_delight 6y agoAs someone who is constantly (it seems) looking for new ways to take notes / todos this is a very cool solution. Using a get request to write the one-line notes is really nice - though do you handle any sort of auth with this? Can FF be configured to handle that with the shortcuts? I love the idea of running this at home and being able to access it from anywhere - and it being a simple webpage. Edit: I just took a look at the source and no, no auth - though for home-network constrained things this could still be cool. I like the novel approach to it :)
- quaintdev 6y agoThanks for the feedback! I intend to add support for multi user so that may require some sort of auth. I haven't got around to how I am going to implement it though.
