Is Nitro dead ??? #325

Open ademcan opened 7 years ago

ademcan commented 7 years ago

Hi, I was just wondering if there is anybody around that took the project and continued working on it? Nitro is really the best task app I have seen so far. I used the version 1.5.1 on Mac. I would like to upgrade to the latest version but it seems that the support of Electron is not available on 2.1 and on 2.0 there are various things missing when creating the electron app, such as the copy/paste option. I am myself a developer and recently worked a bit on nodejs/electron apps. I would be very happy to help on my spare time to bring this project back to life. Are there anybody else around that would be interested? Such nice and open source projects are rare, let's keep them alive. I really believe that Nitro is a very good alternative to existing commercial tools such as Wunderlist, Any.do, todoist...

Seems the project is being re-written and moving in the wrong direction - towards being a cloud hosted app. Why not make it possible to store data on one's own cloud space, so one can use it from various platforms. If that is done, there are many like me that will happily pay for it. I am done with keeping my data in cloud hosted apps managed by others. At least offer a desktop app with control of storage location as an option.

We're building Nitro as a Progressive Web App, so in theory it will be able to run offline and be packaged up as a desktop app easily.

As far as sync goes, there are no plans yet (haven't started on the sync server), but I'll consider implementing data storage in a personal cloud as this was a very popular feature of Nitro 1.5x.

@consindo, thanks for the re-assurance .. In case implementing access to a personal cloud needs much effort, just being able to choose a local directory / location is more than adequate to support desktop and smart phone use ..
