simplenote is a reusable Django app for posting simple notes to a board. You can secure access with authentication, but the default is to provide public access.

The Problem: I wanted to transfer text between different devices (or to other people) without having to authenticate, relying on secrecy of the domain to prevent abuse, but accepting that this isn't a secure solution.

The Solution: You can set this app up on the internet on your own domain to use for notes. Optionally you can secure this service with authentication, but by default it's a public board.

How to Use

$ pip install django-simplenote

Include django_simplenote in your INSTALLED_APPS.

If you want to change the defaults, add these to your settings.py:

SIMPLENOTE_MAX_NOTES = 10
SIMPLENOTE_MAX_NOTE_LENGTH = 5000

Then, run migrations and add django_simplenote.urls to your URLconf.

Dev Quickstart

simplenote comes with a settings.py file, technically making it a Django project as well as a Django app. First clone, the repository into a location of your choosing:

$ git clone https://github.com/gregschmit/django-simplenote

Then you can go into the django-simplenote directory and do the initial migrations and run the server (you may need to type python3 rather than python):

$ cd django-simplenote
$ python manage.py makemigrations django_simplenote
$ python manage.py migrate
$ python manage.py createsuperuser
...
$ python manage.py runserver

Then you can see the models at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin.
