This is a great example of a killer app hobbled by the browser’s inability to save local data (to a file, not local storage) without horrid workarounds. I stopped using it because I couldn’t use any of the helpers and eventually lost data.
- smartmic 1y agoI had the same experience. In my humble opinion, it's just not the right tool for the task. I remember setting up my own self-hosted PouchDB to sync my notes with different clients. The tool was called NoteSelf¹. It was such a fragile setup and only worked suboptimally. Currently, I use Emacs Howm². Having notes in plain text files is the most robust and simple setup. I am a big fan of SQLite, but none of my attempts to use it for note storage were as good as a file-based solution. ¹ https://noteself.org/ https://noteself.org/ ² https://kaorahi.github.io/howm/ https://kaorahi.github.io/howm/
