Minimalist Web Notepad

This is an open source clone of notepad.cc, which is now defunct.

See demo at https://notes.orga.cat or https://notes.orga.cat/whatever.

Installation

At the top of index.php file, change $base_url variable to point to your site.

Make sure the web server is allowed to write to the _tmp directory.

On Apache

You may need to enable mod_rewrite and set up .htaccess files in your site configuration. See How To Set Up mod_rewrite for Apache.

On Nginx

To enable URL rewriting, put something like this in your configuration file:

If the project resides in the root directory:

location / {
    rewrite ^/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ /index.php?note=$1;
}

If the project resides in a subdirectory:

location ~* ^/notes/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)$ {
    try_files $uri /notes/index.php?note=$1;
}

Branches

To install it with Docker see the docker branch.

A version that allows for encryption using the Web Crypto API is available at the encryption branch.
