Everyday I want to be able to view and edit my notes on my iPhone. I love CouchDB, and PouchDB would allow us to sync our notes easily between devices.

Mobile apps could be a great way to monetize!

I was thinking this on the drive home last night! I like the free software model that lets you pay to sync data between devices. Also, I want to design the iPhone app. ; ) — Sent from Mailbox

Awesome! I should be able to get a basic iPhone app with syncing done by Friday. Mainly because I want it so bad!

+1 for Android apps......

octalmage commented 10 years ago

The mobile app will be cross platform as well! Using PhoneGap.

You probably are already aware, but Simperium by Automattic may be a nice addition for device syncing. Everything is look great! Keep it up, y'all.

Thanks Anthony! I had originally looked into it because I wanted to use the SimpleNote API, but after talking to Automattic I decided to use a homemade solution. Plus, I'm a huge CouchDB fan!

I've been working on this in 79f5a624d1a0a895f4225bc8707a54637aaec9b9 and I just realized PouchDB isn't going to work out. The remote syncing requires storing the credentials in the source and since the source is distributed anyone would have access to the database. Obviously this is not good.

Instead I'm going to use WordPress with the WP API plugin. This way each user can use their own credentials and they would only have access to their notes. Another upside to this is we could also use this as a web interface!

Yay WordPress!

octalmage commented 10 years ago

Or, I can use http://parse.com or http://hood.ie.

octalmage commented 10 years ago

Ok I'm using http://parse.com, their API is amazing. Sorry WordPress!

octalmage commented 10 years ago

Got the parse intrgration pretty much finished and I'm about to merge it.

Also started the mobile app! https://github.com/octalmage/phonenote
