Development or production in docker:

Build

docker build -t edna .

Run Production

docker run -p 80:9325 edna -run-prod

Run development frontend

docker run -v ${PWD}/src:/app/src -p 8080:3035 edna -run-dev

Credits

Edna started as a fork of Heynote but I've added many features since:

• ability to have multiple notes, so that it can be used as a note taking app in addition to being a scratchpad
• made it a web app, with ability to store notes on disk
• note switcher inspired by Notational Velocity (Ctrl + P / `⌘ + P)
• command palette
• context menu
• ability to run JavaScript functions, either to produce output or transform the content of block or selection
• ability to execute Go code blocks
