Github gist

Please add sync feature with github gist (like Lepton :P )

GitHub gist integration is sounds interesting!
Please also check #308 about cloud sync.

Looks like the API integration with the Gist API (https://developer.github.com/v3/gists/) and a token from the GitHub account wouldn't be too difficult. Though looking over the current features it doesn't look like there's any kind of API interface happening right now so it'd be something new.

I wouldn't think it would even need to be a sync (bi-directional) per-se. Even just a "publish" as a first step would be cool. If I were a better JS developer I'd happily help out on this one.

I think this feature can grow the user base quite substantially because GistBox just announced they close as of December 1st 2017.

Their new app - "Cacher" - is so expensive they should have called it "Casher" instead.

It's at least why I ended up here... I would definitely move to Boostnote if I can access my old Gists.

@kocoai thanks, I'll have a look at Lepton as well.

I'm looking into it by creating a prototype. A token based authentication seems to be doable. Will keep you posted 😄

Github Gists sync would be great. IMO, the best way to do that would be to make it so when a user goes to "Add Storage", just allow for a "type" of gists. That would keep it separate from other private, local, of cloud shared folders.

Agreed that a GIST would be best!
Using Atom.IO, there is a package called Sync-settings ( https://atom.io/packages/sync-settings ) that uses Gists. This may be what you/we are looking for. I like how this package also operates too with Git/Gists and it has an "autodetect" feature that it checks the date when you open it and prompts you for an update.
