   That's totally optional, and not enabled by default.

   Thanks for your warm words! I did a lot of experimentations with the UX/UI and colors, glad you appreciated the effort :)

   Maybe the app should be available at files.md? Not under app.files.md? What do you think?

   As soon as all major browsers support Local FileSystem API :)

   Thanks! I love being honest. Notes alone wouldn't do.

   I added a table with all possible setup options: https://github.com/zakirullin/files.md#ways-to-use-it

   You'll right on this - I'll cover this in great detail. You don't need to spin up the server, only in case you want your own infra. Optional sync is only working with chatbot auth for now, but I'll do something about it.

   Thanks for writing this! That was a long journey for me :) Good luck with your project as well.

    BTW, this is not an AI codebase :) It was mostly crafted by hand. Let's say, I've saved some "complexity space" for LLM to add features on top. In other words, the project has dumb-simple code right now, and it is ready

    I bought this domain with the promise that one day I'll release my pet-project. So did I, 3 years later :)

    Once they'll support Local FileSystem API!

    Hm. I thought that there's one single binary + one script to deploy, so Docker is not needed...

    In Safari it should work in OPFS. Because Safari still doesn't support Local FileSystem API :(

    Thanks. Even though there's "LICENSE.md 3 years ago" file, today I also added this text :) This is hand crafted, for the most part.

    All the friends that started years ago also use the app to this very day.

    Sure. I can't live without it :) Notes, journal, tasks, projects - everything is in there. Whenever I have a new machine, first thing I do - I open the app =)

    Thanks! I've been growing my knowledge base for many years, with great results. And you really need all that much to start taking notes. No techniques, no workflows, just the the simplest setup would do. "Second Brain", howev

    Thanks! That's what I was striving for :) Simplicity started from the domain name.

    You can use any browser. But Local File System API has limited support in other browsers.

    Well, that sounds great, actually.

    > Very nice domain! Did you always own "files.md"? Thanks! I bought it about 3 years ago. Back then, the project was just a chatbot. But already back then, I kind of had an idea where I want it all to go. I wanted the simplicit

    Thanks for your warm words! > I'm gonna try Files.md for some inspiration on what I could be missing For the most part I was thinking more about what I can remove :D This inspires me. What kind of minimal feature set does one need t

    You can just clone and use offline. Just open web/index.html file, it absolutely requires no server. If you want a local server though, it is easy to setup: https://github.com/zakirullin/files.md/blob/m

    Well, yes. Just now, any regular user can clone the repository and ask an LLM to tune it to his needs.

    Since I plan to use it for the rest of my life, I need the code and infrastructure to be radically simple and easy to maintain. Like, I should be able to open it even after a few years, and do some fixes or add some features. Go's ecos

    Server setup before the rewrite: docker + php-fpm + php7 + larvel + nginx + redis + cron + worker + certbot Server after the rewrite to Golang: server, a 15MB no-dependencies binary that has everything.

    That's yet to be decided :D For the first time, I put a sponsorship button. Will see if it works.

    That was the reason a few years ago I started this project. It seems like software in AI-era should be distributed open source. So that anyone could tweak it however he wants. Not though clunky plugins system.
