Hey all, v3.4 of flatnotes has just been released and I wanted to share it here in case anyone is interested.
For those that are unfamiliar, flatnotes is a self-hosted, database-less note-taking web app that utilises a flat folder of markdown files for storage. You can see a demo at demo.flatnotes.io.
The latest v3.4 release greatly improves support for images. Previously, images were converted to base64 which was then embedded in the markdown file. Unfortunately, this didn’t make for a great experience when editing as you’d have to navigate around a large blob of base64 text.
In this new release, images are now uploaded to an /attachments directory located alongside the notes and then a simple link to the image is inserted into the markdown file (e.g. ).
Since I last posted about flatnotes here there have also been many other improvements including a new read_only authentication mode which allows you to use flatnotes as a searchable front end for a bunch of markdown files.
I hope this is useful to some of you. Let me know if you have any questions.
