Loading

memo-boost consists of three modules: Client, Relay, Database.

Users should host their own and Relay (essential), Database (essential) and Client (optional).

1. Client

Client is a user-friendly module for users to easily create, read, update, delete their data at anytime anywhere.

Diversity of Write Client could be implemented, such as

• bookmarking chrome extension (similar to Pocket / Instapaper)

• telegram bot that stores every messages in specific Telegram chatroom

• importing data from other sources

For Read Client, DBMS like DBeaver are good enough, but we can imagine more for instance:

• memo summarization, visualization, brainstorm-assisting tool using AI

• paying crypto to subscribe to other's memos

• exporting data in csv form

2. Relay

Relay is a middleware between clients and database to facilitate clients interacting with database.

3. Database

Database stores your private data.

FAQ

Why not use existing services like Pocket, Instapaper, Evernote, Notion, etc?

• 1 - They are centralized, so you have to trust them to store your data. (They can track your bookmarks, who knows?) 2 - They aren't fully open-source, so the data compatibility between services are not guaranteed. (e.g. you can't export your memo from Pocket to Google Keep)

Where do I host Client, Relay, Database?

• You can host them on your home server, or use cloud services like AWS, GCP, Azure, etc. Of course you can host Relay and Database in a single server. Every scenario should be considered when contributing to memo-boost.
