GoodNotes

Lightweight notes + todo app — optimized for StackPilot on small VMs (single-stage Docker, no React build).

Features

• Color-coded notes (create, edit, delete)
• Todo list with checkboxes
• Express API + static HTML/JS UI
• ~15 MB image build (Express only)

Run locally

npm install
npm start

Open http://localhost:3000

Deploy on StackPilot

1. Public repo: https://github.com/shivin4/goodnotes.git
2. StackPilot → New project → paste URL → Deploy
3. Open live link when status is running

Requirements: Dockerfile at root, EXPOSE 3000, app listens on 0.0.0.0.

Why lightweight?

Previous versions used React + Vite (two-stage Docker build). That often OOMs on 1 GiB Azure VMs during npm install / vite build. This version uses plain HTML/CSS/JS — one npm install express in Docker.
