# osmos::note

A web-based text editor for networked note-taking, self-hostable on any Git repository.

- Retrieve knowledge as fast as you can type with zero-latency full-text search.
- Make serendipitous discovery via backlink traversal.
- Durable knowledge preservation with plaintext and Git backend.
- Keyboard-centeric design for max efficiency.
- Easy theming and customziation with JavaScript and CSS (coming soon).

## Get started

### With NPM (Linux, WSL, MacOS)

Install dependencies
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v18 or newer)
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
- [ripgrep](https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installation)

Then run in terminal
```
npx @osmoscraft/osmosnote@latest
```

### With Docker (All platforms)

[Get Docker for your operating system](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker)

### Run the app

```sh
docker run -p 6683:6683 osmoscraft/osmosnote
```

You can open the app in your browser, at [http://localhost:6683](http://localhost:6683).
To exit, press Ctrl + Space, then press q.

Having trouble exit?

docker ps # Find your container_id in the output

docker kill container_id # Manually stop the container

### Next steps

When running from the container, you won't be able to persist any content after the container exits. Follow the [Storage setup guide](docs/storage-setup-guide.md) to persist your notes.

## Supported browser

- Chrome, Firefox are primary support targets.
- Safari should work in theory. There is no guarantee.

## Roadmap

This project is still in its early stage. Expect breaking changes and feature overhauls. Some ideas on top of my head:

1. **Theming**. Since we have web technology, supporting CSS based theming is a no-brainer.
2. **Customizable Text Editor**. I wrote my own text editor in order to optimize the UX for link insertion and indentation control. As a trade-off, the editor is not as customizable as other off-the-shelf solutions such as `CodeMirror` and `Monaco`. I will continue assess this trade-off and adopt open-source editor library as needed. Currently, a vim-like keybinding is supported with caveats. See [notes for vim users](https://github.com/osmoscraft/osmosnote/blob/master/docs/editor-reference.md#vim-users).

## Contributions

My top priority is to modularize the system so I can tackle customization and theming without building technical debt. Until then, I have limited bandwidth for new features. Ideas and bug reports are welcome. I'll get to them as soon as I free up. Thank you for being patient with this project.
