Info: Wijinote
Info on Wijinote:
Well, this website has been up for just over 24 hours now, and I thought I should start off my series of posts with an introduction to my first “major” project, Wijinote. Before getting into it, let me reiterate some of what I said in my previous post. ‘Wijis’ to me are small programs that perform simple, useful tasks, and nothing more. It can be a desktop application, web script, shell script, or whatever. I do tend to develop a lot of ‘Wijis’, and intend on releasing them here from now on. Anyways, here’s more on Wijinote.
Wijinote
Background: As a student, I spend a lot of time taking notes. Fortunately, I’m able to take notes digitally in some of my classes, and am blessed with the ability to type faster than I can write, hence why I need a simple, fast, and efficient solution to taking intellegent notes with simple markup. During my quest to find the holy grail of note-taking applications, I’ve come across some pretty cool programs. I’ve never been a fan of BBcode markup or WYSIWYG text editiors, but I’ve grown very fond of textile (click for demo) markup, a really fast and simple text styling markup. The only solutions that I’ve found offering this markup, though, have either been pay services, or services with far too many features for me to use. What I wanted was a simple place to keep my notes and todo lists. No frills, just a solid, reliable, uncluttered solution. I’ve finally decided that I just need to build it.
Wijinote will accommodate my requirements, and hopefully will assist others in their note-taking as well. Here’s Wijinote’s offerings in a nutshell:
- Simple, easy access place to store notes and to-do lists.
- Limitless note-taking with a simple text styling markup: Textile.
- Plain-old, no frills to-do lists.
And regarding deployment:
- Use either my in-place service or run Wijinote on your own server.
- Modify my code to your likings when you run on your own server.
- Built on CodeIgniter for fast, easy development and modification.
Progress: If I had to put a number on progress, I’d have to say that I’m 40% to the first publicly usable release. I intend to first deploy a test installation here and allow users to register and use it, and then release the source further into development. I can’t put a date on it yet, as I still have a decent amount of milestones to meet first, but I’ll keep readers posted as I get further into development. I hope to have a usable version available by the end of October.
