Please keep updating this project

I compared X-Notes with 10+ other php note-taking projects and find this one is the most well-designed note with super useful sharing and lock functions. The requirements and deployment are very simple (no database needed) however the notes are very safe. I really like X-Notes and decide to deploy it to my personal server. The only shortcoming is the note editing. As a wysiwyg editor, X-Notes looks pretty embarrassed with only a few function limited buttons (though very useful). It can definitely be improved like this one: Anyway I really appreciate author's work. This is a brilliant project!

That is ok. You can copy & paste from other wysiwyg editors and they'll work.

I tossed my nimnbusnotes one in and they display perfectly.

Awesome php/js app. Finally free of the money grub shackles (hi evernote...)

If you still see the need, fork this X-notes and add what you need to the existing bar. I have this one on my webpage f.e.: https://ry3yr.github.io/OSTR/Diarykeepers_Homepage/HTMLEditor.html These features should be implementable

is there a way to have more than one user ??

Edit: Yes, in the SETTINGS, you can add another user :)

Hey guys :)

First of all, thank you for the kind words and for supporting the project. At the time I made this, I was quite new to development and around my first year in uni if I remember right. I didn't really have much time to revisit old projects and such, so I didn't really go anywhere with this.

Since then, I work full time as a dev, but have a clear schedule and such, and have started developing personal projects again. This one gets the odd email and such here and there asking me to update it, so I think I'll start here. I'll branch off this (not fork), and eventually merge it back to keep the stars and name of the repo.

I will add more formatting features and multiple user support. @Ry3yr is correct in pointing out that if you have multiple xnotes folders, then you could efffectively have multiple users and use the settings page to change the username (keep in mind, account.cfg is overwritten when you change username or password, not appended to, and the code is written to only check 1 username/password in there). So yeah, multiple xnotes would work, but changing username won't add a new user, just replace the current one.

The question I have for you guys is whether you'd be okay with X:/Notes having a Node.js API, as that's what I'm infinitely more experienced in nowadays, or is PHP is an important part of it? Keep in mind I'd likely use something like Symfony or Laravel nowadays anyway both to learn something new and to tackle PHP's issues. Obviously, in either case, I'd provide full step-by-step setup instructions.

Personally I am verily against Node js and prefer PHP as that gurantees drag and drop for most things. (I just tossed this onto my server, it even runs on android via https://apkcombo.com/de/palapa-web-server/com.alfanla.android.pws/download/apk#urusai.social/@alcea/111761622206017944#i.ibb)

NodeJS is a relatively new technology and while I see it having a use in many projects (Puppeteer), I think Xnotes is fine in staying php :P

TL;DR: I cannot see what NodeJS could help XNotes with. PHP is longstanding. I trust it.

Adding another requirement makes software harder to use, increasing the entrybarrier. I'd personally try and keep things as simple as possible to ease use for the enduser :)
