Notice

2023-03-01 Update

I've not used StandardNotes for a long time, so it's impractical for me to keep an eye for all the extension updates. For this reason I'm archiving this repository. You can still use the code as is, or fork and modify to suit your own needs. Happy hacking!

Previously (last year) the URL was https://snext.netlify.com/index.json. But early this year Netlify decided to change the domain used by hosted apps.

If you've been experiencing empty editor UI, there's a chance that you're using the old URL. Netlify is taking care of redirections but they are missing some headers. You should migrate to the new URL.

These steps are required to migrate:

• Look for the "Repository" options in the "Extensions" menu (on the bottom)
• Delete the repository
• Uninstall all installed themes and editors
• Re-enter the new URL into Extended Code
• Re-install all the themes and editors you use

Self-hosting

With Netlify

In case if you'd like to host your own site other than using ours, you can do so with Netlify:

• Fork this repository;
• Create a Netlify account if you don't have one already;
• In Netlify app, Use "New site from Git" to create a site from your forked GitHub repository;
• Wait for the build to finish;
• After that you can use YOUR_SITE_URL/index.json as an Extended Code;
• Optionally you can set a human-readable site name (a subdomain of netlify.app) from the Site settings page. Notice: You need to manually trigger a new deploy via Netlify web UI after changing the site name.

Without Netlify

It's easy and recommended to host with Netlify. However if you insist not to use it, it is also possible (notice: the following steps work on Linux or WSL):

• Prepare your environment with Python 3.7 with pip, as well as Git;
• Make sure Python 3.7 can be called directly via python from the shell;
• Make sure Git is installed and can be called directly via git from the shell;
• pip install -r requirements.txt to install required Python libraries;
• Run the build script URL=my_url python build.py where my_url is the full URL you would later host the resource files on. E.g. if you want to access the plugins via https://example.com/index.json then replace my_url with https://example.com/.
• Verify that:
  • the public directory is generated;
  • there should be public/index.json containing information of all extensions;
  • all extensions should exists in public as sub-directories;
• Host the public directory like you would do with any static resources, using nginx, caddy, etc.
• You need to enable CORS headers on your reverse proxy (nginx / caddy / traefik). With nginx these rules will be enough:

  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
  add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'content-type';
