Notes And More was born out of the need for a simple note-taking app, with a few small enhancements. Notes are captured and written in plain text using the Markdown format. There are two additional features to allow Notes to be more interactive.
Tags
Each note can have none, one, or many tags associated with it. This helps group together notes and allow you to find similar notes. To create a tag, start any word with a #
Each tag is a single word, and can be a mix of upper and lower case. Example:
#meeting #holiday
We discussed holiday ideas for next year.
tags can be anywhere on the page
#meeting
We discussed #holiday ideas for next year.
The main dashboard will list all the tags, allowing you to click to see all associated notes.
Tasks
Occasionally during note taking you need to capture Tasks/To Dos. Start the line with a : then the description of the task. When you later view the note you can easily identify the tasks within the note, and click to update progress on them.
You can also see an over-all list of tasks across your entire notes estate by clicking the 'Task List' icon on the top toolbar.
Things to be aware of
- The Search bar on the main home page has the option to do a complete Full Text search. If ticked, your search will find any occurence of the word anywhere in the notes. If unticked, or you are using the filter by tags, it will only search for words in the title of the note
- Notes can be encrypted when first created. Click the 'info' option near the top right of the note when creating, and tick to encrypt. The note is stored using strong encryption based on your login and a secret. If anyone could get a hold of the file it would be unreadbale. Note: encrypted notes are not searchable using Full Text option (other than the title).
- When you save an note it goes into a queue for Full Text indexing. The queue is processed every 5 minutes. Therefore, when saved you note may not be fully searchable based on the most recent save for a few minutes.
- Template notes can be created and used as the basis for new notes. The demo site has a Meeting Note template. To create a template click the 'info' option when editing, and tick the option for Template and Save. You can now use the toolbar at the top to select the template.
You can edit this note to look at the Markdown, but it will not save changes
