Hello everyone,
I was just wasting time, fiddling with node.js, and I thought I’d make a notebook application.
Process
Basic File Parser
At first, I just made a way to view MarkDown (.md) based notebooks that were stored on your filesystem and served to the user. The user could edit the file in markdown and it would autosave back to the filesystem.
Next Steps
I then integraded the tinymce rich-text editor and parsed the MarkDown using marked to serve to the user in the editor, but soon realized that saving in MarkDown was working well.
I then switched to saving in HTML (then Base64 Encoded HTML) instead.
Ability to create
I know that creating a folder or a file was as simple as one fs sync command.
I then worked to implement this functionality and he we go, the final product.
Name
At first, this application was simply titled Notebook Application, but one time I accidently started to type Nodebook and thus the name NodeBooks came about.
Download
You can download NodeBooks here.
