Boostnote: [Feature Request] Encryption

[islanddog]

First off I would like to state how much I have enjoyed seeing Bootnote progress over the past 6 months of me using it. I currently utilize Sublime Text in tandem with Boostnote and find myself referring to Sublime less and less everyday. I think adding a password to lock files or storage would be a great idea to provide some security on both sides.

Thanks

if there will be an option for encryption the mobile app also need it!

For Desktop, you could use Boostnotes in conjunction with Sync.com or pCloud.com.

@islanddog Are you using Boostnote as a text editor?

[islanddog]

@ericchang00 - For writing technical documentation with coding notes yes. The company I work for does not allow data to leave site so having the ability to encrypt files/storage would allow my personal code to stay confidential in the event if I leave or someone accesses my computer.

Sweet, that's a really cool use case!

@ericchang00 - Yes, I currently need to utilize Transcrypt which I have built into Sublime Text and then decrypt every morning. Would be nice if a simple password and encryption method was used per-storage in BoostNote as doing this with multiple document points can get tedious.

Hope this feature request will be filled, i also require encryption in my workflow.
Needless to say it is just a cool thing to have even if you don't require it.

Same here, currently I can use boost only without the sync because of policy I cant put in work documents to cloud providers other than the company internal ones and privately i do not want to store any personal data on google drive or similar.

I switched from boost now to another app named Joplin also open source available on github. But the features I lack from boost are to many to stay with it. So a midterm E2EE support would be very nice.

Same here. Having encrypted sync allows me to sync the notes to clouds like dropbox.

I think this is now the fourth issue for encryption and I have the feeling it would be better to have just one. It seems that @chartotu19 started working on it and you can track it on #827.

I would love to see Boost be capable of encrypting its data as well. In the mean time, what I currently do is use an encrypted loopback filesystem. For this I use VeraCrypt because dm-crypt can open VeraCrypt volumes. For the average user Cryptomator would be a better choice for them since it is pretty simple to use.
