noter

simple Linux client/server app to instantly create notes (text of binary) right through stdin
note is persisted inside DB or sent via email (text only) - channel to send notes is set in config file

notes may be sent e.g. like these:

$ echo feed cat 3 times per day at least | noter  
$ cat mycat-manual.txt | noter  
$ cat cat.png | noter  
$ ps -aux | noter

max size of single note: 1000mb
(dont try to send big notes via email though)
data is sent in plaintext (no SSL/TLS supported)
