About

A Firebase backed Ember application for storing notes. Intended for a single user only.

Demo

http://kentor.me/notejs/public/ (open two instances side by side to see them sync updates in real time).

To create your own

• Fork the project.

• Run npm install.

• Register a Firebase account and create an app.

• In public/js/main.js replace App.firebaseRef = new Firebase('https://selfnote.firebaseio.com'); with the location of your firebase app.

• If you don't need authentication, set App.authRequired = false.

• If you do need authentication, you need to set up simple auth on your firebase app. In your firebase app dashboard, go to "Simple Login" and then follow their instructions to set up "Authentication Providers".

• In main.js replace the twitter in App.firebaseRef.authWithOAuthRedirect('twitter', Ember.K); with the provider of your choice.

• In your firebase "Security Rules" tab, set up your security rules to allow a specific user to read/write. An example:

  {
      "rules": {
          ".read": "auth.uid == 'twitter:12345678'",
          ".write": "auth.uid == 'twitter:12345678'"
      }
  }
  

  If you don't know what to put in place of twitter:12345678, you can find out by logging in with your app and then checking App.user in the console for the uid property.

• Be sure to run gulp watch to see the changes, and gulp build before deploying.

• You can host the built project on heroku as a simple rack application. Or you can just host the public/ folder at any static web hosting provider like neocities.

Bookmarklet

The bookmarklet can be used to post a note whose content is window.location.href, the url of the page you're viewing. Just replace <FIREBASE_URL> with your firebase app url and <FIREBASE_SECRET> with one of your firebase secrets. I recommend minifying the bookmarklet with uglifyjs bookmarklet.js -cm. Be sure to add javascript: before the script to make it a valid bookmarklet. Sites with a Content-Security-Policy header may block the script from making an xhr request to firebase so this won't work on every site.
