unforget

Take a look at the Sync and Merge section of the readme [1]. I tried to explain it in details. [1] https://github.com/computing-den/unforget?tab=readme-ov-file...

It seems it's using `better-sqlite3`[0] and saving the database to a file called "private/unforget.db"[1]. (Although, I don't have experience with SQLite, so that file might be as volatile as `localStorage`.)

ok so to answer more thoroughly, sign up is required for the sync feature to work. I'm not gonna say there's no way around having a server for sync, but none is simple or even possible to implement for all platforms including the web (see the Nat Traversal problem [1]). You can self host of course in which case you only sign up to your own server. Instructions for self hosting can be found on the github page [2]. As for verifying the privacy of your data, this is a little more complicated. First, since it's a web app, you can open the dev console of your browser and in the network tab you'll see all the data that gets passes around. You will see that the content of your notes and passwords are all "gibberish" because they are encrypted or hashed. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they are encrypted or encrypted well.

Hi there. I'll answer more thoroughly in a few minutes but please check out the github page [1] for more details about the internals. [1] https://github.com/computing-den/unforget

Hi HN! I created Unforget out of years of frustration with Google Keep and the lack of alternative that met all my needs. I hope you find it useful too! Features include: - import from Google Keep - offline first including search - sync when online - own your data and fully encrypted - Desktop, mobile, web - lightweight, progressive web app without Electron.js - markdown support - programmable with public APIs - open source [1] While I still use org mode for long-form notes with lots of code, Unforget has become my go-to for quickly jotting down ideas and to-do lists after migrating the thousands of notes I had on Google Keep. In addition, I'm thrilled to announce the opening of our software agency, Computing Den [2]. We specialize in helping businesses transition from legacy software, manual workflows, and Excel spread
