Notes App

This is a notes web app that uses WebDAV to store plaintext files that can be synced to a remote server.

The reason for storing the notes on the filesystem and exposing via WebDAV is to make editing with any editor possible.

It's a precursor that lead to The Notes App.

Requirements

• ExtJS 2.0.2 stored in or linked from the ext-2.0.2 path of each day.
• Nginx with the DAV extension enabled
• An .htpasswd file with at least one user confured in it (via apache tools).
• Optionally lsyncd

I believe the password in the provided .htpasswd files is demo123, pardon if I'm mistaken.

Usage

The script setup-deb-bullseye.sh can be used to install a site to nginx, or followed for nginx installation on any other platform.

The sync-notes script can be used to run lsync, manually or via a cron job.

Dev Practice

This is an older demo from when I was just establishing the habit of breaking practice into a daily format.

It focuses on:

• Making minimal code changes from a prior demo
• Getting an app running in Nginx
• Nginx DAV storage
• Syncing info to a remote server with LSyncd

The code is messy and intentionally left so because it's derived from an earlier work, which I mean to create a minimal diff from and sequentially commit to Git. Please pardon the apparently amateur style. Releasing as-is to the dev-practice repo.

Changelog

2023-05-21

Updated README for release in harlanji/dev-practice repo.

Day 3

• Added Lunr code to index in browser and/or nodejs given notes

TODO

• Save notes as paintext and load them as plaintext (this would enable easy import).
• Create a way to change storage location for cross-site
• Either mount the webdav FS for node to index remote notes
• Or create an iterator over notes in the store to download all content.

2022-01-16

• Added cross-origin support to nginx config
• Updated code to work cross origin

2022-01-15

• Created baseline notes demo
• Created nginx config with webdav
• Created install script
• Created Lsyncd config
