Take quick notes from the menubar in markdown. Saves to a file as you type.

markdown-menubar's Issues

User should be able to quit by right-clicking icon

Starting new file should empty codemirror contents

If the file being edited is changed by another program, it should be updated in the app

Right? Or is that out of scope for this project

User should be able to start a new note

A "new" button should erase the current contents & filename and start fresh.

Perhaps this can prompt the user if the current note isn't saved yet

Changing directory should remove the file from the former directory

Saving should create new file & replace

From IRC:

joepie91: 1. create lockfile
joepie91: 2. create new file in temp dir
joepie91: 3. remove old file
joepie91: 4. move new file in place of old file
joepie91: 5. remove lockfile
joepie91: worst case the editor crashes between step 3 and 4 and you need to recover 
from the temp file. to that end, you *may* want to store it in a .youreditor dir in the user's 
home dir or something instead of a /tmp directory, since /tmp and such are not guaranteed 
to persist

Starting a new note created a second one

started typing and it created foo.md, then a moment later, the cursor moved, which was odd. i kept typing, and later noticed it had also created foo-1.md.

Clicking filename should open the file

In the default application? Or configurable?

Changing directory should verify filename doesn't exist in new directory

Fix padding/font/style

App should be able to run at startup

Word wrap

Changing directory should persist between sessions

electron-settings seems like a good candidate

Saved indicator should depend on result of fs.writeFile()

At the moment it just checks if there's a filename set, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's been written.

Add placeholder text inviting user to type

Clicking new button should alert user if file isn't saved

Filename should be the first line slugified

Annoying to have to wait until the user presses enter, but it does the trick for now

Use a prettier markdown editor

At least syntax highlighting, but perhaps one of those medium-style editors

Support resizing the window

menubar already appears to support it, so just need relative height I think.
EDIT: The CSS now uses relative heights, but codemirror appears to need to have to be refreshed on height change, which is annoying...

Change menubar icon

Although I've grown to like the cat...

Filename determination should ensure it doesn't overwrite an existing file

ex if there's already a file called notes.md in that directory (an earlier note), it should make this new file notes-2.md or something

Keyboard shortcut should toggle menubar

User should be able to save contents to a particular file & start fresh

• It should save as draft.md by default
• User should be able to press save and be prompted to enter a file name. The file name should be the title line by default (spaces become hyphens) but can be overridden.
• Saving should reset the textbox and close the window? (this is what evernote does)

User should be able to specify directory files are saved to

Clipboard support

Currently, copy & paste keyboard shortcuts don't work, because they're not enabled by default in electron :(
