Markdown Today

Store your journal as a markdown file on Dropbox, and edit/view it from any browser.

Features

• Optimized for use in a mobile browser but looks great on desktop too.
• No server. You only have to trust your browser and Dropbox. (And this code)
• Persists your Dropbox token to local storage so you don't have to re-login each time.
• Optional in-browser AES encryption using Stanford JavaScript Crypto Library for "trust no one" security.

Commands

• Run a dev server: npm start.
• Run tests (in "watch" mode): npm test.
• Build a production bundle: npm run build.
• Deploy: npm run deploy. (Requires SSH access to the server)

Deploying to your own server

Get your own Dropbox Client ID

You'll need to register you fork of the app with Dropbox at their My Apps page.

Update src/constants.js to include your new Client ID and redirect URL.

Configure your web server

Markdown Today expects your webserver to serve index.html for all requests that are not found. An .htaccess file for Apache2 is included in public/.
