Sync with GitHub Gist #159

Closed robdecker closed 9 years ago

robdecker commented 9 years ago

Not sure if this is on your radar or not, but the ability to sync with GitHub's Gist service would be awesome. GistBox is okay, but incorporating Gist syncing to a native desktop app would be so much better.

I thought about that, but gist really isn't a good format for mixing content. A note in Quiver is saved as a single JSON file, but when mapped to a gist, it becomes several small files (one file per Quiver cell). And the presentation of these files are not great either. They look like separate files instead a coherent note.

Ideally there should be a way to present a Quiver note on the web the same as how it's presented in the app. This isn't hard but my hands are full at the moment.

It looks like Github gists can now contain multiple sections similar to the way sections are presented in Quiver https://gist.github.com/tuxracer/8659217

@tuxracer GitHub gists have been able to contain multiple files for a long time. But it's geared towards files. The presentation is quite terrible if you mix text with code snippets, IMHO.

@ylian Lack of this feature is the only thing keeping me from using quiver btw. Downloaded it and uninstalled after a few minutes when I learned gist support didnt exist. You almost won me over with the latex support though :(
