   Take a look at the Sync and Merge section of the readme [1]. I tried to explain it in details. [1] https://github.com/computing-den/unforget?tab=readme-ov-file...

   Thanks. Yeah I agree, outside of HN some terms in the intro should be explained better :)

    sorry, changing password is not yet implemented. Besides that, there really isn't much of a profile. You only have a username and a password. There's no email or anything else.

    I agree, an actual app can certainly get access to more APIs and have a tighter integration with the platform. So it depends on whether you actually want a tighter integration. If you're like me and prefer the note taking app to be min

    Actually I'm using pbkdf2 with 100000 iterations of sha256 for the encryption, but not for hashing the pass. That will certainly add a few orders of magnitude to the infeasibility of cracking the password hash when the server itself is

    No it's not CRDT. I opted for something far simpler: if (a.modification_time > b.modification_time) ... that's all. Like some other features I originally planned to implement CRDT but then realized I don't miss it. Since t

    I'd love to have a wysiwyg editor. It's just that in my initial tests I couldn't find one that worked well on all platforms. I'll try this one too. Thanks!

    Hi there. I'm happy to see people are looking at the code to verify the security. You are right about the notes being in plaintext on the client. Otherwise, you'd have to enter a password every time you open the app. The issue I w

    Oh yeah you're right. I'll update the instructions. Thanks!

    If you only care about desktop and don't want to maintain a server, I do suggest taking a look at webview [1]. It uses the platform's own web browser engine (WebKitGTK on linux, WebKit on mac, WebView2 on win) which you can use to

    There's only so much one can do through plugins. We can't write a plugin to make an app simpler, more lightweight, open source, and without electron.js.

    Makes sense. Perhaps there could be an option in the menu to set the default expansion level: - level 1: collapse all H1 sections - level 2: collapse all H2 sections - ... Basically like org-mode's cycle feature with the tab key. And t

    I think these are missing from Apple notes: - everything end-to-end encrypted by default - public APIs, create your own client (still with e2e encryption) - self host - markdown support - import from google keep - open source

    Thank you, I'm glad you like it. I'd also like to see org mode support! Since the APIs are public and documented, I would love to see a client inside Emacs as well. Then we can browse the notes in actual org-mode on desktop. I can

    Thanks, sure, I wouldn't mind releasing a docker container if it'll make it easier to deploy.

    Yes that's the database on the server for storing encrypted notes and syncing. My experience with SQLite has been very positive. It really is rock solid. Also, wanted to mention that Unforget doesn't use browser's localStorag

    There's definitely a lot of fiddlyness when it comes to the web stack. Having said that, indexeddb has been very reliable. There are some annoying limitations though. For example, if you want to create an index on a store using multipl

    Thanks a lot for the suggestions. Regular expression search would be cool. I was thinking to add a few color themes. But custom CSS to be honest I don't think would work well. In my experience CSS is a little fiddly especially given th

    I'm curious how many platforms do you support for your Qt app(s) and how easy was it? It's been a few years since I touched Qt and back then mobile support was a pain.

    ok so to answer more thoroughly, sign up is required for the sync feature to work. I'm not gonna say there's no way around having a server for sync, but none is simple or even possible to implement for all platforms including the

    I'm glad you like it. Unfortunately, Firefox and Safari on desktop don't support progressive web apps. The issue is being tracked here [1] and there is certainly demand for it. [1] https://connect.mozilla.org/t5&#x
