Auto save every second like Microsoft Sticky Notes

[ShobanChiddarth]

@leobard

every change/character you type will generate a new "version" in the history, taking space

I tuned it off

@leobard

Every sync shows up in log, taking space

I turned it off

@leobard

Synching with the target will use your network/wifi/internet

Sticky Notes and Google Keep won't take up that much because it syncs only markdown text and it doesn't sync version history which I turned off

@leobard

Synching with the target every second may alert the sync target to block you because you take a lot of bandwith from the target

Sticky Notes and Google Keep won't do that because it syncs only markdown text and it doesn't sync version history which I turned off

@leobard

All above will eat up your storage space on your device and your target

Sticky Notes and Google Keep won't take up that much because it syncs only markdown text and it doesn't sync version history which I turned off

@leobard

All above will eat up network bandwith and limits

Sticky Notes and Google Keep won't take up that much because it syncs only markdown text and it doesn't sync version history which I turned off

@leobard

All above will eat up the battery of your device, should you work on a laptop/tablet/smartphone without power connected

1. I turned it off
2. Sticky notes and Google Keep wont take up that much so same applies for Joplin now because I am syncing only the text

@leobard

All above will eat up the CPU cycles on the device where you type, so if Joplin would save every second, the GUI would get slow to respond and inconvenient to use.

Only text without version history wont take up that much when syncing only text like Sticky Notes

Now I'm not asking for Joplin to bring sync every second by default. I just need the option to turn it on because I need it.

There is no option for ever second sync!
And I think also this option will not be implemented.

Yes thats why I requested for it

@JackGruber

And I think also this option will not be implemented.

But why?

Develop it, create a PR and justify it then. I don't think this option is of a particularly high priority amongst the userbase.

Im not an app developer

Unless somebody else wants to do it then I suspect you are out of luck. It doesn't seem like this feature request has gained a lot of support to warrant development so far.

@ShobanChiddarth : thank you for taking time to think about the implications and answer with ideas for a solution.

So you want an instant save of the note after a change, no sync, no version history. This is comparable to the feature other apps have where they save when you switch to another app (on android) or minimize the window or regularily. This sounds like an implementable feature request.

Now it needs to gain demand by the community to get higher priorization compared against all other open tickets. The first reaction here in the thread was that only a small minority of users need this.

Ohh, thanks
