I can give it a go @boojack - I'll add a service worker and test out syncing.

This sounds like a great idea, I can see this being helpful when you host your memos on your local network and dont have access to it when you are not on your wifi

The amount of data you can store in your browser local storage will be a limiting factor. I believe you are limited to 10mb. This would not allow for a resource heavy set of memos e.g. 2 or 3 photos will take up all that space

implementing this in a mobile app sounds like the way to go

It would be great if some features still work when you go offline, but I think reading is more useful that writing. Since if you cache locally you need to make 100% sure it will never loose you hard work, or you will still need to make a backup somewhere.

Worth noting that if you are offline your browser won't know how to resolve your url so you won't get to the offline page. You will get a no internet screen from the browser

@RoccoSmit Service workers can serve an offline page:

[RoccoSmit]

That is pretty neet. Am I correct in understanding you need to be on the page already for the service worker to load an to take effect when the internet goes out?

My comment was based on being able to load a new instance of memos in a browser when offline. I feel like I have a different interpretations of what offline means to what this issue is trying to solve

With this features we can not use anymore gnotes

Just found out about Memos, this is the first issue I looked into. Luckily, there is Moe Memos on both iOS and Android.

[richardszegh]

Maybe using something like https://replicache.dev would solve this problem (and simultaneously make the app faster / more responsive)?

[leon-ITA]

Not useful for smartphone application I guess!

I hope this could work with Progress Web App servicers + indexdb. It should technically achieve completely offline storage with sync capability. Similar thing is achieved on another note-taking app called SilverBullet.

Being able to run the frontend locally on my computer and saving the notes as text files (not plain text necessarily) so they can be synced via SyncThing to another computer running this same program, and that computer showing the new memo instantly (as fast as it sees the file changed) would be amazing and fit my usecase.

I'm personally looking for a replacement for Telegram's "Saved Messages" that works even if there is no internet.

I think that creating a front end app that will save the memos locally then POST them to the API (just like every instant messenger) when network is available would be much easier and better, SyncThing is prone to file conflicts

CreateMemo endpoint already has createTime and updateTime (API Reference), so the only thing left to do is create a desktop/mobile app with the functionality you want to have

There is a community frontend app for mobile devices Moe Memos, on their FAQ page it says:

Offline support is planned in future versions.
