Lope - your private notes app

This tweet triggered an urge to just do it, so I just did it

https://x.com/vpavlin/status/1929883644300018046

Lope is now installable on your phone as a PWA which will allow you to share to Lope from other apps

There is also a browser extension - Lope Companion - now

The extension needs to be configured with the Lope URL you are using - e.g. you could run Lope locally on port localhost:3000, then just put http://localhost:3000 in the extension Options

which allows you to easily add notes from a website you are on - Lovable even made it so that you can select text on a website and then right click and select Lope Companion → Save Selection to Lope and it will create a note with the selected text, link to the source etc.

Few issues:

  1. new note via extension does not trigger reload of nodes from DB in other instances/tabs
  2. the extension is kinda weird looking:)
  3. The note title it creates etc. is a bit too verbose
  4. I did not look at the code of the extension AT ALL - install at your own risk;)
  5. One major caveat - the extension shows “envelopes”, but the list is empty - it does not really have anywhere to pull it from, so I might just remove it and let it store as “default envelope” always and maybe add a label “lope companion” for filtering
