It was not obvious to me that I needed to click the New button first. I clicked around everywhere else and tried typing and no go. Then after clicking New and getting a text area, it made sense and I said "well of course".
So maybe not too many other people had this problem, but perhaps the top line could say "Click New, then just write." =)
And/or start the page off with a note that describes the basic process:
"click new, write, and click Publish to finish the note, then click Save to save it to index.html on your system"
When I went back to edit a note, Publish didn't work for me.
Trying this in Vivaldi, I didn't try on another browser yet.
Thank you very much for your trial and suggestions. I will add more detailed usage instructions to the page. After editing, please remember to click the "Publish" button again.
Interesting project ! Tried it on brave mobile Android and it does the job. Just so you know, when I edited the note I wrote in markdown, the note is now in html. But I guess this would mean add a html to markdown converter to the page.
I get the minimalist concept, and I sense this could be a daily driver for many.
Thanks, That's a good suggestion—I’ll consider it. For me, since I might not edit content frequently, I just added a simple Markdown-to-HTML conversion.
in the gh-pages branch you have the final index.html. You can also literally download/save the page as well, should be the same.
It does not use any other deps than the final index.html
Now, speaking about the project itself, maybe it would be good if the notes get also saved into localStorage in some way. One browser refresh or reboot and it all goes away if it wasn't saved.
Please, you're welcome! Local storage will definitively make it much better. Preserve the save feature so it is portable from browser to browser/computer or even shared across people!
This is an interesting project. I'm glad to see Markdown is supported. I was surprised that there is no persistent storage of notes, though (at least not on my device).
