[Feature Request] Sync with Evernote or Simplenote

Open livejamie opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

This would be amazing if I could have it sync with a service like Evernote/Simplenote that way I can have the same Scratchpad on all my devices and be able to see it on the web if needed.

Doesn't have to be Evernote or Simplenote, anything would do.

Hi! the data is stored in a flat file: ~/.fromscratch/content.txt, so anything that allows you to sync files (i.e. dropbox) will do that for you! If you sync the entire directory between computers, you also sync your personal settings along.

I want to keep users free from choosing the syncing tool they prefer, so setting up anything that keeps that fle in sync will do nicely. This keeps the FromScratch code simple (no need to integrate with a 3rd party) and leaves it up to the users to choose how they want to deal with it.

I'm open to setting up "recipes" or something on how to achieve syncing with different systems, even adding them to a help section in FromScratch. Would you like to help with that?

Oh sure I think most users would benefit from this knowledge. :)
