The brief

Inspired by NVAlt (RIP),
a friend and I started this app to have some fun deepening our knowledge of Vue.
There are plentuy of note apps but most seem over or under engineered.
I currently use SimpleNote from Automattic. It’s, well, simple.

Progressive enhancement for text files

Core concepts:

1. Data Portability - Apps come and go, the data shouldn’t need a rosetta stone - it should be plain text, or at most Markdown. And it should by cross device so your data is always with you.
2. Date Based - If it can save me putting a date at the top of each entry that’s worth the entry fee.
3. Fun with Data - See Roadmap

The solution

Status

1. Integrate Dropbox for cross-device access and authentication
2. Manage plain text files (flogs):
   create new flogs or entries and edit, copy, or delete flogs or entries
3. The UI splits a Flog into 2 parts:
   1. Entries
      Any text that comes after a date in a specified format, up till the next date or EOF
   2. Frontmatter
      Any text in the file before a date (flog metadata)

Roadmap

• flog blending or comparison (compare flogs for correlation)
• key:value tags
• omni search/create box
• encryption
• web publishing
• geotagger
• time tracker
• siri/alexa
