Boostnote: Self hosted web server for sync and web display

Created on 22 Nov 2017 · 7Comments · Source: BoostIO/Boostnote

Such a great app, I've been using it for the past month and it's just great.

Here is an idea for fearthur development : creat a self hosted server version to sync between all apps (instead of going through dropbox) this server could also embed a web client version of the app.

That would help a lot for using this awesome app as a personal wiki for exemple.

Thanks for the good work

While this is a cool idea it would require a ton of work, almost a 2nd version of the app!

I do however like an idea of using your own server to upload and keep note files in sync that are chose to share online....similar to sharing a note in Evernote and other notebook apps which basically takes the selected note and uploads it to the server and then assigns the note a URL to view that note online and for others to view the online version. It would be for viewing only and not editable online though, simply just for sharing a note online with a URL assigned to the shared note.

What I mention here is possibble on most the Notebook apps I have tested however they all upload the note to there own server. My version would allow that upload to go to your own self-hosted server through FTP so that you do not rely on a 3rd party company to host it...in the event the company would shut down your shared notes would still exist since you would host on your own servers

definitely to be in the competition out there Boostnote has to have self-syncing function rather than to depend on 3rd party #software for syncing #1102 @ddattee
