Notes
Eric Lewis session on web sites with no db
Wanted an Evernote replacement that would be free
to avoid paying he wanted to write an in browser text editor
tricky parts
- working offline, say in the subway
- working on any device
- Syncing
it has a github repo
this is the Github repo https://github.com/ericandrewlewis/pad
does not want to run a database
idea - storing the files on Github
Github now offers free private hosting
Jekyll - a static site generator you give it markdown files
HTML is simple and safer and faster
service workers - implementing it is easy (for making your site work offline)
