How do you handle primary keys? Wouldn't auto-incrementing integers lead to duplicate keys since clients are not aware of each other? For the To Do app example, let's say two clien…

About your MacBook fans squealing: I had the same problem with my 2012 MacBook Pro. It turned out that the grilles through which the fans blow out the hot air were completely clogg…

A potential downside here could be running out of file descriptors if you use one database file per client. Linux has a limit of 1024 open files per process. Did you ever run into …

Did you ever run into the problem of the system running out of file descriptors? If each client gets its own database file, each connection will require a file descriptor. For exam…

Quite a few. Some I use regularly: - Text snippet app to reply to support request emails. Use this to reply to about a dozen emails each day. I have over 300 snippets. - App to got…

Thanks a lot! I'll give it a try.

Which mail providers support this? I'd like to set up something like this. Thanks!

That's what I do today in my own app. I have a "table of contents" file in each folder. Ideally the file system would support that out of the box, but maybe a first step could be t…

In the system's file explorer (Finder/Windows File Explorer). This would give me a visual outline and the ability to open any file with its corresponding app. Imagine writing a boo…

> NEED HIERARCHY? Use directories — also known as folders. I really wish I could define a custom order for files in a directory. A folder hierarchy is almost an outline, but not qu…

Well, the alternative would be to either not scan the documents at all and keep them in the basement as hardcopies or to scan them and protect them somehow (for example by keeping …

For those who scan and file digitally: Are you worried about data security/malware at all? How do you protect your data? Maybe I listened to too many Darknet Diaries episodes, but …

Yes, I thought about both scenarios and actually added support for both to my app. If you rename a note through the app it will go though all other notes and update them to use the…

Great, thanks for sharing some details about your setup. I do something similar with my email messages. I never delete anything. Should I later need to recall a conversation I use …

Thanks again for your input! Yes, the app remains fully functional forever, with the limitation being that you cannot add new notes. Sounds like I need to make this more clear in t…

1. Thank you :) 2. iOS with iCloud support is planned.

Thanks for your feedback! 1. If you cancel your subscription you cannot add new notes, but you can still access, edit, move, etc. your existing notes. All features remain active (a…

Not yet, but that's on my list. Same for headings. I'm still debating if I implement this as a separate "rename" feature or instead implement a project-wide search and replace.

Curious about your workflow since you've been keeping notes for a long time. How often do you refer to old notes and how old are those? What methods do you use to find them (e.g. s…

Writing your own notes app is a rite of passage ;)

Thanks!

No SwiftUI, just plain Swift and AppKit/Cocoa. I considered SwiftUI, but at the time it was not ready and was missing a few core things I needed, like an outline view (this was 3 y…

Let me know what you think once you get a chance to try it!
