Webnotes

About

Webnotes is a free and open source web app that lets you create and manage notes. It's simple to use, works offline and because it runs in your browser you can use it across all your devices!

The Webnotes UI was built using a component library I made called Eri.

Getting started

Install dependencies

make init

Test

make test

Run

make start

Deploy

Backend and infrastructure

Majority of the infrastructure is managed with Terraform (a few things that aren't well supported have been done manually).

make deploy

N.B. making changes to the API doesn't trigger a new deployment, but you can trigger a manual deployment by copying the deploy_api_command Terraform output and running that.

UI

Continuously deployed with Netlify.

N.B. because icons take a long time to generate and do not change often they are created from the master svg file by running npm run icons in the /client dir and committed to version control.
