The keepsake for our thoughts

Some fun new things at NoteSakeMarch 16 2008

Two small updates have been added in the last week. We added a link to the “manage groups” which seems to have been lost in the upgrade. And we also added a “Table of Contents” function to notes. How it works is if your note has more then 3 h1. tags (header) then it will automatically create a table of contents which you can click to jump to each section in the top right corner. Screenshots say it all:

NoteSake RemembersMarch 9 2008

So all day today NoteSake has been undergoing changes. We upgraded some stuff on the server end to make things more speedy for all our notetakers. We also added a “remember me” function which will keep you logged in even after you close the browser.

Fun fun all around.

DowntimeMarch 4 2008

We have had some recent downtime due to server issues.

We did not lose anything, hopefully everything is fixed now.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Shell Script to Generate Edge Rails ProjectDecember 30 2007

This is a basic shell script to generate a truly edge rails project. It will also install some plugins which I use (rspec, rspec on rails and exception notification). Note this uses mysql for its database, remove –database=mysql from the project generation.

Use this by saving it and running chmod +x path/to/file to make it executable, then /path/to/file newprojectname the same way you generate any other rails project.

Help us Beta!December 16 2007

A lot has been going on behind the scenes at NoteSake since our launch earlier this year. We are now in the midst of our first major build and are excited about the new features we will be offering. Coming January 2008, NoteSake.com will offer some features that we had always wanted to include, but steered clear of until we had them laid out perfectly. We are so excited about these changes that we would like to give our users the opportunity to check out the new features before the build is actually finalized. We are officially opening our staging site to the public: http://humpty.notesake.com. Aside from granting a sneak peak of the new site, the development team at NoteSake is looking for feedback and criticism from our dedicated users. Your opinion is respected and appreciated, so do not hesitate to tell us what you think.

Upon arriving at the Humpty site, there are two options for logging in: a new user account can be created or a user may visit only as a guest. It is preferred that a new account be created, but if you would rather not, simply input “guest” for both the user ID and password. The guest account is restricted from saving any data, so it may be in your best interest to create a new account.

As it is, NoteSake.com is pretty, but fails to leave the developers much room to conveniently make additions to the experience. To accommodate the need to implement changes that are made
