danielroehrig / diary Goto Github PK

Thank you for publishing it on the app store. I have installed it and I like the calendar view!

I have a few questions and perhaps a request:

1. Where are the markdown stored? I know some other apps just creates a root folder in files and store them there. How are files stored for Diary?
2. Is it possible to import from existing markdown files? I have a large number of past diaries that I would like to somehow link them to this app. They are written in markdown and the file names are 'YYYYMMDD.md'. They are saved in Nextcloud Files.

Although I do not know JS very well, I regularly code in Python/C++ and I would love to contribute. If you could give me instructions, I might be able to figure out the details and submit PRs. Let me know how I can help.

Thanks!

Seems you tried to set up transifex sync and we also added the cron job on our side.
But since main is "protected" the bot (https://github.com/nextcloud-bot) needs to be added as admin so it can push to the branch never the less.
Currently it spams our log with an error.

If you don't want to do this, we can also remove the syncing mechanism again.

For some reason, I can only see english dates although I switched the language to german.

Nice App - i like it. But how to delete and i don't find where the entries are saved

I would love to be able to write a journal collaboratively with another person about a common subject. I have perused the internet and don't know of any app that allows this without it being a workaround of varying degrees. Or it's not possible at all, in the crushing majority of dedicated diary/journal software.

In my imagination, the co-journal wouldn't be one or thirty clicks away, but could be set to be the standard diary when opening the app. The co-journal would just be in the same place as the personal diary, or even replacing it altogether if the person doesn't usually hold a personal diary. Ideally, both people could write entries at the same time, seeing what the person is writing. I don't use Etherpad, but that's what I imagine it to be. I think Google Docs works similarly (from a user's perspective).

What bugs me (please understand this is a severe euphemism) about other apps is that I have to invite people to one of “my” diaries. They are effectively in a lesser position, at risk of losing access privileges whenever I please. In many cases, I have to circumvent the “homepage” of the app where my personal notebook is waiting for me to write something, to access some sort of shared space. The other person has to click through to some “shared with me” space or other.

It doesn't have to be like Etherpad or Google docs, but being able to save the entries to a common directory, and being able to point the app to that directory from both accounts on the NC instance. The simultaneous thing probably requires a tad more involved coding and databases and occult server wizardry, so that's not a priority, let's say.

hallo, are there plans to add images to diary entries, as we have in nextcloud text? Links are great, but a visible photo in preview would be even better. (Nextcloud text gets very slow if it contais say 25 2MB images) Plus it would be neat to self organize the images (Nextcloud text uses a default invisible folder here)

Remove all foreign key constraints because having them will throw errors.

Lists and quotes don't have proper margins, which causes them to go outside of the visible area.

For example, given the following entry:

This should have a margin on the left:
1. But it doesn't
2. So it has to be fixed

> This should too, alongside an indication that it's a quote (e.g. a bar on the left, although this is up to the implementer).

* Oh, and it also applies to these too.
* Because why wouldn't it? This is also a list.

If I were to put that here in GitHub, it would look fine:

This should have a margin on the left:

1. But it doesn't
2. So it has to be fixed

This should too, alongside an indication that it's a quote (e.g. a bar on the left, although this is up to the implementer).

• Oh, and it also applies to these too.
• Because why wouldn't it? This is also a list.

But in the app, it looks like this:

Yeah... this should probably be fixed.

It would be great if you were able to search diary entries. That's it.

Maybe integrate with the unified search, maybe have a diary-only search, doesn't matter to me, as long as I can search through my entries. The more entries I make, the more this is going to be an issue.

Total aside here: Why don't the results from the unified search start with those that come from the app you're currently viewing?

Hi,

I'd come to suggest using CalDAV as a backend for this app.
CalDAV is already integrated into Nextcloud for Calendar and Tasks (VTODO) apps. But there is no "frontend" with VJOURNAL support.

This way, entries can be sync between devices without using a file based system or a "Diary app for Nextcloud". As far as I know, Diary stores his entries on a db as CalDAV does.

My use case will be writing my diary on my phone and have it sync with Nextcloud. DAVx5 and JTX board are Android apps that are working towards CalDAV integration with Nextcloud.

I will mention two issues they created for Notes and Tasks Apps for this same reason:
nextcloud/tasks#1955
nextcloud/notes#197

Thanks.

Select a timeframe and export it as an PDF or Markdown

Hi I am dropping the idea:
The Nav Panel Space could be used to show a quick preview of the last entries.
Maybe code could get re-used from the widget Feature Request #20🤔

See the bottom part of my amazing sketch for inspiration.

Again, thank you for improving nextcloud ecosystem :)

It would be really good if this were also available on Android and were able to sync between phone and desktop machine.

Apologies if this is already possible but don't see it in FDroid.

Many thanks

Hi, I am using your App since a few days and I'd like to have an easier way to look back in recent history.
I am not allways writing the entry at the day, sometimes I forget it for ... a week or so. It would be nice to
a) have the calendar on the nav panel allways open, to reduce click-depth and to provide a quick overview
b) have a visual differentiation of dates that have data and dates that have no data. (like the 22.3. on my image)

I thank you for the time spend for us users :)

When I switch from edit mode to preview mode, the bullets on unordered lists are not visible. The numbers on ordered lists are, however, visible.

Since Nextcloud 25.0.1 is now available in the stable channel, it would be nice if the version would also be supported.

It's currently possible but only by selecting the URL of the preview of an image like this: http://localhost:8080/core/preview?fileId=25&x=1920&y=1080&a=true

Ideally there would be some kind of file selector for images and a resize option.

This is a very good program on a large screen, but entering on a phone, or even a tablet is tough.
Ideally, font size should be selected based on screen size.
A manual font size might be handy.

Note: this would just be display size, I don't necessarily want a full markup language. this is a diary, not a note taking app.

This can be done in the Application.php within the register method. See the calendar app about how to do it.

Lots of these in my system log

postgres ... ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "oc_diary_pkey"  

I just added the line "1 2 3 testing" to an existing diary entry for today and two more appeared.

Diary version 0.0.10

Hi,

Like the app thanks! The main reason I'd like to use it is for keeping notes on various projects. I keep meaning to get into the habit of writing a "lab book" when I am programming/debugging, at work, working on various projects, etc. - where I just dump all my thoughts, notes, etc. by date, without worrying too much about where I put them or how tidy they are. Then I can always go back chronologically, and I have one unambiguous location to find anything.

However, for this to work for me, I'd need to have the option for more than one separate diary per account.

Would this be possible at all please? Perhaps via a drop-down menu with the diary name, three-dots menu and "New Diary" option for adding a new one. Presume DB schemata would be the main amount of work on this.

Hello,

the app is quite simple, so I don't think it needs mobile app. But the mobile page view should be fixed.
Text field displays narrow (only three words per line or so), when I open the app in Android browser (tried Fennec, Chrome, Opera).
Rest of GUI scales nice.

Hello, I just started using Diary and I wonder where the entered texts go? I'd like to be able to make a backup and restore it if needed. I looked for any relevant folders/files but didn't find any.

Hello,

I can be so nice to just add a button to add a time (hour:min) for the entry that added on a day diary.

Regards

It happened to me few times, that I lost last paragraph or last edit, when I left the page (to other app in NC, closed the tab).
So I am suggesting adding some save button or save indicator to assure me, that nothing will be lost.
It could be placed in the format buttons row, maybe?

The app seems promising. I would like a possibility to extract a summary of all days notes during a specified time, eg last month.

Currently only tested in english.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Lorem Ipsum 1000 words
2. Enjoy two scrollbars

1. Write entry
2. Go to previous date
3. Entry doesn't change

After some time it works but I don't know why.

Please make the app compatible with NC28, unfortunately I cannot test if it work on NC28, as I still cannot upgrade my server.

I have noticed the following issues:

1. When the application was first launched, the date in the diary header was not translated. The translated date and in the appropriate form of the set time zone was changed only after adding the entry.
2. The date form displayed on the calendar button does not match the set time zone.
3. The calendar does not have translated months (the problem may be related to the above error).
4. The close and open navigation button is too close to the date and navigation sideline (no margin).
5. When opening the diary, its record appears (an asterisk appears next to the diary's header). In my opinion, saving should appear only after changing the content.
6. When you hover over the text "Export" of the diary, the cursor changes to a hand, which incorrectly informs the user about the export function.

Refers to point 1, 2, 4 and 5:

Refers to point 6:

Apps:
Nextcloud 24.0.0
Diary 0.0.5

An entry is created the first time somebody writes text into the field. It's never deleted. It could either be deleted or just not exported.

In the view mode a line below a headline is shown - i think it's a bug.

You know you have to before anybody gets hurt.

Good morning,

Is it possible to configure an automatic backup? If so, how? And how to recover this backup to restore to a nextcloud that would have bugger?

Thank you very much

Hi, i want to to test your Diary app but it's not available for installation.

Please make it compatible to the Breeze Dark Theme.

I find the app very helpful and it would be nice if there was a Nextcloud widget for the diary app.

Hi,
First of all : Thank you for this amazing add-on. It fixed a problem i had since 4 or 5 years.

For our use, to be able to use colors when writing would be very nice. We (me and my wife) are using a single diary, we both write in it, so with color we could see who is author easily.

We are using quote or other things at the moment.

BTW, i'm French so please excuse my language (and "my" president).

Trevor asked me to add the possibility to export only a range of entries and to delete some the same way. Not sure about the deleting because why would you want to delete entries in your diary?

I'm using dark mode for my NextCloud instance, and I can't see the navigation buttons for the calendar control:

Find a way to encrypt the content in the database. Ideally using the same password as the login password.

If i use in the first line of the entry one or more # (for Headline) the # are displayed left in the title. It would nice, if the # are not displayed (filtered) becaus they used only for formating.

To reproduce:

• Have at least two diary entries
• Show one diary entry in 'preview mode' rather than 'markdown editor mode'
• Select another diary entry. i.e., navigate to the previous or next day, or select a different entry from the list
• Notice that despite the date changing, the displayed entry does not change

Didn't see any issue for this so I am opening one. NC 26 is complaining that it isn't supported. Not sure if this is just a metadata update or if real code needs to changed. Opening this ticket to track it.

I don't know if this is on purpose. I'm using PHP version 8.1.5
