Joplin Web - Web application companion for Joplin

foxmask · 2020-09-05T07:58:14.000Z

GitHub does not provide this kind of tool.

I have a project with 1.300 stars, and here again I'm sure there is not more than 5 people who use it ^^

but it doesn't matter.

I'll try to do my best to share project I use for myself. after that I can't cover all the use cases and user profiles without help, help that never comes.

many open source projects are like that.

The gh API shows how many times an asset has been downloaded: download_count.

foxmask · 2020-09-06T08:32:06.995Z

Thanks @tessus the API works well, but as I don’t have created any release yet ; there is nothing to count ^^
For the others projects I have, as I uploaded stuff on pypi.org, there was no “assets” so nothing to count too.

I am planning to use the web companion on a raspberry pi already for a long time but didn't find time yet. But I will definetely try to install it in the future. Your work is much appreciated

tessus · 2020-09-06T15:51:13.724Z

Oh, yes. That’s true. However, there’s a way to get the number how often a repo has been cloned. It’s available via the UI, so the API should have that info as well.
But yes, sometimes it’s hard to get an understanding how many people are using your code…

foxmask · 2020-09-06T16:07:27.544Z

Thanks for clarifying.
I prefer people to take ownership of the project if they are interested. Counting them won’t change anything. ^^

xplosionmind · 2020-09-16T12:51:26.469Z

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks a lot for your willingness and kindness.

foxmask:

I’m afraid that will be too complicated.

Yep, I imagined...

foxmask:

web development?

Yes, almost nothing of JavaScript but a complete understanding of HTML and CSS

foxmask:

installing and settings application on a server?

Yes, I installed Nextcloud and (with a lot of struggle) Jitsi Meet

foxmask:

securing an application?

This is kinda harder. No idea what this means

foxmask:

I could setup the project on your server, but how will you manage the day to day administration tasks?

You’re very kind, if you’re willing to do it, I’ll manage for everyday use, somehow.

foxmask:

it’s very straightforward when you know python

I don’t know python and I’m angry because I know I should learn it.

Anyways, thanks a lot for your help and feel free to get in touch through DM for further discussions.

In fact, since the beginning, I could see that the project will be a problem for many of you.
The only people being able to use it, are the "lazy" admin using docker ^^ and the courageous admin with python knowledge.

Because a minimum skill in python or docker (so in system admin) is required, it's a too big step to make for people who just want/expect to copy a program on their computor and run it without being worried of anything, like you do with the AppImage Joplin

So I am shared between:
Make the project a purely python app (and too bad for javascript, VueJS is cool but as I don't have the same level as in python, I have too much trouble moving forward)
Do nothing more, because since I am not using the application on a dedicated server myself, I therefore have no use for it.

because of that i am looking into kivy to do another multiplatform project, but it's another story;)

Hi,
A little earthquake is coming
Today the project is made with VueJS and Python.
Tomorrow, it will be fully written in Python (with the lovely Django)
I'm tired to receive mail from github telling me "vulnerability in fooobar.js ; upgrade it"
Thus, I will feel more confident and less tightrope walker with my code
If that do not suit you, I invite you to fork it as soon as possible
Have a nice day

rasulkireev · 2020-10-15T14:33:50.394Z

Oooh, nice. I have a little Django competency, I'd love to help. Will "watching" the repo.

@foxmask
Is there a chance that this project would eventually evolve into a completely browser based solution, i.e. a way to access my Joplin server files from anywhere in the world (without further installation) with just a browser ?
I've been using safenotes (for Android) for a long time, and it does what Joplin does (in many ways) plus the feature mentioned above. Or do I misunderstand what joplin-web is all about ?

cydnax · 2021-01-13T18:53:23.449Z

Hi.
Is there a screenshot somewhere of what this web app is meant to look like I've just managed to get it installed but its not rendering very nicely?
I installed from Annyong / joplin-web · GitLab
Is this how it's meant to look? Folder and tag links don't work. Messages don't load in the preview.
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

@cydnax I checked the repository. the maintainer said that the code is being rewritten. I think you should wait for a while until the bugs have been eliminated.

foxmask · 2021-02-23T13:48:44.684Z

After cloning, Make a try by checkouting "vuejs" branch and see the README.md of that branch.

almet · 2021-10-17T13:02:39.797Z

FWIW, this project seem to have been archived by its author.

nicolas_geneva · 2021-12-29T13:29:13.551Z

Hello there !
Is this project discontinued ? It was so promising. But I can't find the package on Docker repo

shikuz · 2021-12-29T18:28:41.888Z

consider trying this: Joplin-vieweb: a simple web viewer for Joplin notes

nicolas_geneva · 2021-12-29T20:24:00.717Z

It's not as practical and useful than the alternative presented in this thread... Is there a way to contact the author ?

foxmask · 2022-02-02T19:39:37.174Z

hi,
unfortunatly I gave up the project.
For the guy who want to maintain it, the used API should be used and adapted for joplin-web. I saw a new python lib for that, maybe it could be used for joplin-web.

That's all I can say.

Regards

foxmask · 2022-02-04T09:58:28.688Z

as i'm not able to edit the title of that thread anymore, I put details about how one could try to use the project... in my profile page (in "about me")

I post it here too for the last time

Regarding joplin-web, the project is discontinued

But you can still fork it from that branch

github.com

GitHub - foxmask/joplin-web at vuejs

vuejs

:snake: :books: Web application companion for Joplin

You will have to use this nice api and adjust the python API call to be able to make the project running

Cheers
