description

A personal notes app, based on markdown syntax and files. This app is a refactor/reimagining of the previous sidequests repo, and meant to be a more versatile piece of software.

development database

Using Docker and CouchDB: docker run -d --name databasename -p 0000 -e COUCHDB_USER=username -e COUCHDB_PASSWORD=password couchdb:latest

To setup a single node and add databases, visit http://127.0.0.1:0000/_utils#setup after starting the development database server

System databases to create w/o using the Setup Wizard

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/_users

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/_replicator

curl -X PUT http://127.0.0.1:5984/_global_changes

database

Main database is the flat notes database

Each document holds metadata, text and the folder tree it's in

This will then be opened in the sidebar

TODO: open several databases as folders

aeonic's Issues

backend: set up a couchdb server

set up an object store

current focus is on text and keeping databases updated (even offline) but future iterations will need rich content stored in an object store and then linked to the documents

refactor theming to be more robust

currently the HyperMD editor has only one theme option and it sits in node modules. I want the theme to be easy to configure, changes to the application theme to propagate down, and to fix some weird style inconsistencies.

• fix the dark text cursor on dark background
• make sure the theme reads from a stable location, stop pointing to the hypermd light

Add a sidebar

add a basic markdown editor

create in-line editing and formatting

ideal UI: a single window markdown editor, with autosave

backend: set up an express server

Start building out a backend server for storing markdown files

fix surface theme
