Flask research notebook (fresnote) is a browser-based note-taking application suitable for managing and organizing personal and research projects. It uses Flask as backend and Bootstrap as frontend.
fresnote is based on the following rationale:
- User creates projects.
- Each project has one or more notebooks.
- Each notebook has one or more chapters.
- Each chapter has one or more sections.
fresnote has been developed with python 3.8 and has Flask as the only dependency. Necessary HTML templates, CSS and JS files are included in the installation for offline use.
To install fresnote run:
pip install fresnote
Testing of fresnote has been done on a typical x86 64bit Linux-based machine running Ubuntu 16.04 and on an Android 9.0 device (via Termux). HTML rendering was similar on both Chrome and Firefox browsers. No issues are expected on macOS and Windows devices.
Create an empty .ini file. Example fresnote.ini.
Run:
fresnote -c fresnote.ini
Open your preferred browser and enter the following url:
http://127.0.0.1:5000/
If you want to specify different port:
fresnote -c fresnote.ini -p [PORT]
