RemoteNote – Updated – 1.0!

Version 1.0 is out!

Look for it on Installer soon. Lots of bug fixes and a few nice additions. Key changes below:

• Scrollable notes list in editor
• Fixed alignment issues in the iPhone Notes app
• Supports Windows IE, FireFox, Safari and Opera on both mac and windows platforms
• Ability to delete notes
• Downloadable notes database (so you can backup before editing)
• Titles and summaries are handled much better 

Known Issues:

• Editor doesn’t display properly multiple line breaks

I have a whole handful of new features in the works as well but wanted to get this out since it supports a wider range of browsers. As always, enjoy and let me know what you think.

RemoteNote – Update

RemoteNote has gotten a major overhaul. We’re now at version 0.2.0!

Release Notes 0.2.0:

Bug Fixes:

• Supports notes with single quotes (if you find other characters to cause issues, let me know)
• Much better database interaction (no more undefined notes!)

Features:

• Snappy editor powered by (TinyMCE) 
• Editing is done in one single page

 

Known Issues:

• Bonjour support. I thought this would be easy but as far as I’m able to find, bonjour isn’t available yet on the iphone. Rumor has it that it’s going to be available in the 2.0 firmware update. If anyone has more info I’d love to hear about it. UPDATE: “ipod.local” has been reported to work in some cases but I haven’t been able to get it to work.
• Delete links do not work. It works in the NEXT (aka, not this one) release however
• HTML is sometimes making it into the title and/or summary. For now, be careful that you don’t have any html in the first line or 2 of your notes. You can double-check this by clicking the ‘html’ button on the toolbar and simply deleting any html in the first few lines before saving your note. If you save a note, and it appears to be the only note in the list, don’t panic! Your notes are still there. Just go into the phone notes program and edit the note you just saved and all should be fine again. 
• Lines are messed up in the iPhone ‘Notes’ app when viewing notes created/edited with RemoteNote

I wanted to give Chrys a huge thanks for coming up with the new icon and logo. You can find more of his iPhone iCandy here, or check out the screenshot of the new editor below.

Finally a huge thanks for all the support and feedback I’ve received so far! As usual, if you have any issues with the app or ideas that would make it better, let me know! 

RemoteNote – My first IPhone app

I’ve been toying with developing native applications for the IPhone (see the toolchain post below) for some time now, but have never really come up with anything useful. RemoteNote is my first ‘real’ application. It’s developed using Jiggy, and is designed to allow you to edit your notes remotely, using a standard web browser. Current limitations (future features):

• Cannot create or delete notes (you’ll need existing notes to edit)
• Does not update modification dates, titles or summaries
• Browser-based editor is a bit ‘minimalistic’

Usage is pretty simple. You’ll need to have a wifi connection available on the phone. Fire up RemoteNote and then point your computer’s web browser to the address RemoteNote gives you. Edit your notes as necessary. When you’re finished, simply quit RemoteNote and carry on as you were.You should be able to find RemoteNote under “Productivity” in Installer shortly (Thanks BigBoss!). If you love it, hate it or want to change it, please do let me know here in the comments. Enjoy! * RemoteNote is currently alpha software. I’ve tested it on firmware 1.1.3 and have not had any issues. As usual with alpha software, use at your own risk.
