This weekend I'm going to attempt to write an application that I'm missing right now. (It might exist already but hey, I'm in for a programming challenge)

I'll probably have a stable backend within the hour, the frontend is going to be 'fun', though 😅

And yes, I'll be using a frontend framework because otherwise I could just as well quit right fucking now.

Its been a while, this is going to be fun!

Keep us posted on fuckups :D

I start hating frontend part more and more.

1 hour for complex backend, calculating stats, data etc : no problems

1 page html/css : 4 hours of pain and misery.

@NoToJavaScript Like seriously, what the fuck are you doing?

@NoToJavaScript Same! I'll be using loads of JS as well ;)

@Jilano A way to quickly copy URLs (or text) between devices through a web app :)

@linuxxx Google Keep, EverNote, OneNote, Send to Chrome, all the cloud storage apps like GDrive?

@Jilano hm.... But it's just a url...

Feels like one of those projects you do when you don't have anything better to do?

I think that was me last week when I was trying to get my app working on another computer...

Now I just binge shows and should probably work on my reading list...

@billgates
Google keep: google aka no-go.
Evernote: commercial company, nothing encrypted (e2e) aka no-go
OneNote: microsoft aka no-go
Chrome: google so no-go
GDrive: google so no-go

That pretty much sums it up haha. And its not meant for permanent storage, just temporary link sharing!

@Marl3x Oh and I'm already stuck on even fucking CHOOSING a frontend framework :(

You mean something like https://www.copy-paste.online/ with a small difference, your site works and that one doesn't

@EaZyCode Kinda. It'd get synced through the 'cloud' but e2e encrypted and automatically removed after x time of inactivity :)

@linuxxx sounds interesting, I need that a lot sometimes

@EaZyCode I'm just struggling with the frontend right now, I chose Semantic UI and its still doing nothing 😅

(Keep in mind I'm a Linux admin, backender and cyber security engineer professionally)

@linuxxx hm... Snapchat? :)

There's this fdroid app that might be a good starting point: https://f-droid.org/app/... though I'm guessing it might only goe one way (from phone to computer), and idk if it has e2e encryption.

If note-taking apps count, I guess there's Nextcloud Notes which satisfies your requirements, though you need to install and configure Nextcloud first...

Otherwise, there's Telegram's saved messages (aka chat-to-self, though technically it's not e2e, but you could use pgp).

Even better: a Wire group with just yourself in it.

I swear I remember seeing another f-droid app similar to the first one I linked, which allowed sharing both ways and eith encryption too, but I can't seem to find it anymore...

E: I think it was KDE-Connect

@endor KDE connect is great and so are some of the things you mentioned but it can't be platform specific nor have authentication...

I'm writing a solution as we speak!

@Marl3x @Jilano Well one fuckup already; a design mistake (application design). Except for that I hope I'll have a testable version ready soon :)
