The faster and simpler way to take notes and start learn&build in public

Why?

I was looking for a place to do more build&learn in public to show everyone that there's nothing to be afraid of. Build and learn things by sharing videos or blog posts is a great to get feedback about what you are doing.

I saw Atinotes project, but I didn't want to buy Nuxt UI Pro 🤣, so I built a free version.

How does this work?

I used the following tools:

• Nuxt
• Nitro (powered by Nuxt server routes)
• Turso
• Nuxt UI

As you probably noticed, this entire app can run on an edge network 😜, NuxtAuthUtils helped a lot because of the ease of handling user sessions by using hooks.

Features

• Stupid simple login and logout
• Create new notes
• When you create new notes, they're visible only to you until you publish
• Draft notes can be accessed by the URL
• Publish draft notes and edit markdown directly in the browser
• When you publish a note, you can configure it to publish on X/Twitter as well (don't forget to set publishing.twitter to true on app.config.ts)
• RSS feed (/feed.xml) automatically generated
• Sitemap (/sitemap.xml) automatically generated
• View and like count without the need to login (powered by fingerprintjs)
• And of course, it's possible to delete notes

How can you set up this by yourself?

I'll need to fork the code (don't forget to give a star mate haha) and create a Turso account

To get Turso env vars

# login with turso from cli
turso auth login

# create database
turso db create YOUR_DATABASE_NAME

# create token (this will give you a token)
turso db tokens create YOUR_DATABASE_NAME

# now you'll get your turso db url and turso token
turso db show YOUR_DATABASE_NAME

Now, in the root directory run mv .env.example .env and replace fake values with real ones.

you'll need to add an admin password on these var envs as well

Adding your customization

Edit app.config.ts with your info.

To fetch new features and updates from this repo

Just add this repo as a new origin

# to add a new origin
git remote add upstream https://github.com/luckyhackersacademy/luckynotes.git

# to get updates and new features
git pull upstream main

Deploy

As I said, you can deploy it on an edge network. In my case, I'm using Netlify.
