I thought the same as you at first, but having everything in the browser is also very handy and it works really well. otherwise I don't know where else the project will go, maybe there will be native clients soon? =) |

Thanks for sharing this, I will have a look at it. 😊 |
Thanks for sharing! I can definitely understand the appeal, especially on Android and Linux. I made an Android client but I know that if I release it, I will have to release for iOS, Windows etc. I would love to but to be honest, I don't have the bandwidth to build and maintain native clients at the moment. I'd rather keep focusing on Poznote itself and make sure it is working well than spread myself too thin across different platforms. That said, it's useful to know that this is a real blocker for some users. And thanks a lot for the kind words about Poznote! 🙂 |

I think the community could do unofficial clients since there's a rich API. I would also like an iOS version. Might do it one day! I'm curious @audricd what do you not like about PWAs? For me is not being able to use it offline. |
|
but you could implement a "offline" functionality that would allow a PWA to work offline not ? |
|
I sincerely have no idea. I guess anything can be done, but at which cost hehe! I believe Tim would have to spend a tremendous amount of time to get this to work and after that someone has to maintain it. I would really like this feature as well because my partner can't use her VPN at school and the 5G network is bad too. So sometimes she must use another note app and transfer them when at home. I believe it might happen at some point. |

yes its almost my understanding offline usage is tricky. also integrations with notifications system, my experience is not as good as native. and generally speaking, im tired of electron. its heavy, bloated.. but its a personal preference. not trying to convince anyone. if people are happy with PWA, im happy for them. whatever works for whomever. |
|
So we’re in the same club. I hate electron. It’s lazy glue not on par the wazoo. |

Good points, all of them. A few honest answers: Unofficial clients. Yes, more than welcome! The REST API covers pretty much everything the web app does, and app passwords were added precisely for this kind of client: a Offline. @seals187 you're right, a PWA can work offline, it's just not what Poznote's PWA does today. Its service worker only caches static files (CSS, JS, icons, fonts). The notes themselves are rendered by the server, so without a connection there is nothing to display. What you do get today:
Real offline (read, write, sync when back online) means a local copy of the notes on the device, a queue of pending changes and conflict handling. @gravelfreeman is right about the cost: that's a big project of its own, and it's actually the same hard part a native client would have to solve. Some groundwork exists (versioned saves, conflict detection, and a 3-way merge for Markdown notes in the current beta), so I'm not saying never, but I don't want to promise anything. The "no VPN at school" case is well noted though. Notifications. @audricd fair point, a web app will never be as good as a native one there. Today reminders show up in the app, by email, and through webhooks ( And no worries, there is no Electron wrapper on the roadmap 😉 |

However, when I see what Poznote has become this past year, we never know what it will be tomorrow. 😉 |

REWRITE IN RUST 🫨😵💫!! |

Hi everyone, |
|
looks cool =) |
I'll take a look at it. Thanks for the suggestion. |
I actually took a look at the code, but I'm not sure if it's possible to implement SSO support in the app. I don't have a deep understanding of the OIDC protocol, but it seems that it will always return the credentials to Poznote (not to my app), and I haven't figured out a way to capture that information in the app. An alternative is to use an app password. Poznote supports this even with SSO enabled. |

yes @leandrosousa2001 im obviously familiar with app passwords, 2fa and hardening in general. its just a personal preference. i recently adopted pocketid and im just "in love with it" i try to have as many applications working with it. nothing wrong with non oidc applications |

Hello Leandro, That's amazing! Thanks for sharing your client with everyone. It looks great! Good job. 👍 |
|
Hi! Thank you for the kind words! 😊 Absolutely, I’d be happy for you to reference Nivurê on GitHub, Poznote.com, and Discord. Thanks for offering! The name doesn’t have any particular meaning—it’s an invented word that sounds nice in Portuguese (I’m Brazilian). I initially wanted a name combining “note” with something else, but every name I came up with was already taken by another app. So I ended up with Nivurê! 😄 |
|
@leandrosousa2001, I don't know if you are on the Discord but here we go! 😉 
I'll post on Github and website later on. Thanks a lot! 👍 |

Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
hello,
im surprised my search didnt turn any results for client in either discussions or issues
not sure if this request would go straight up again the product philoshy but: id love to see (native) clients. especially linux and android (im sure there would be interest for windows). im personally really not a fan of progressive web apps... and im currently using notesnook. when i saw the feature list of this poznotes, my jaw dropped. but no native client is a dealbreaker for me.
thank you
