@HahaYes Yes of course, you don't have to ask me for permission! I just ask that you show me when you're done :)

@MarcusWeinberger yessir

@HahaYes Hey, I saw your repl, and if you want to get db.py working, you'll need to set up a project on Google Firebase, set up a Firestore DB, generate a config.json file. And then, how I've set up from_env to work is that you'll want to base64 encode the contents of your config and paste that in your .env file like CONF=EXAMPLEBASE64DATA==

@MarcusWeinberger oh lol yeah I forked your project, I do my work on VSCode and Sublime not on here

@JosephSanthosh Thank you very much! I don't have a lot of experience with web design, most of my projects have no UI, so that means a lot to me :)

@MarcusWeinberger BRO THIS IS INSANE! THUMBS UP MAN

@BobTheTomatoPie How are you so damn good at CSS. Also, mind sending me a link to that note? Just click the "Create Link" button on the top navbar

sure, I have ton of css practice @MarcusWeinberger

there is one problem, i cant reach the button lmao, all of them are stuck on top of each other @MarcusWeinberger

@BobTheTomatoPie Ahah oh no, hmm maybe you could make a new blank note, create a link to it, and then copy and paste your css in that new note. The link you made should update with the new content

lemme try, also it will look a bit different as I have edited it a bit since you saw the screenshot @MarcusWeinberger

@BobTheTomatoPie Sure thing

here I just grabbed the inner stuff, cause it's not creating links when I press create link @MarcusWeinberger

@BobTheTomatoPie oh I'll look into that, it should be working, but thanks

@BobTheTomatoPie Did you click on the note (open it) and then click "Create Link"?

yep i did that @MarcusWeinberger

@BobTheTomatoPie That's really strange. I'm seeing an error in the logs as well but I can't replicate it myself and I have no clue what's causing it. Btw I put your css up at https://notes.marcusj.tech/link/cancer or alternatively you can embed it with <link rel='stylesheet' href='https://notes.marcusj.tech/link/styles.css?render=false'>

okay, hope you fix it soon @MarcusWeinberger

@Lethdev2019 Your editor is very cool ;) I like the syntax highlighting. I might try add that, I also am looking into adding emoji support :flushed:

@MarcusWeinberger well, i made a decision... let's make something like codesandbox and codepen (and repl.it ;) )

plus, we are open to feedback to improve it.

@Lethdev2019 That sounds really cool, it would also be neat if you could import the code you're editing directly into your project, e.g. edit a css file using the service, then in your html just do like: <link rel='stylesheet' href='https://coderepl.lethdev2019.repl.co/@myName/project/styles.css'> That would be slick

that is planned for the html,css and js editor.
in a matter of fact, it will insert those into an iframe for that meaning we do not actually need to store the files unless we create a save function, which we are.

the reason i am choosing an iframe is so that it is independent of the website so your css does not change the site css.

oh we are planning a dashboard, auto save function that DOES NOT DISCONNECT YOU EVERY 5MINS ONLY FOR YOU TO LOSE YOUR PROGRESS and something across the lines of repl talk.

I got a node server up for the team so we can continue this project.

I want to say that it is on github here https://github.com/Lethdev2019/PIE

@MarcusWeinberger

@Lethdev2019 Very nice! I had an autosave function, but the server responds too slowly. I think I'll make an autosave function that doesn't save every keystroke, just saves every minute or so. I've just about finished adding in links

@MarcusWeinberger, well, i know a couple secrets to fix that.

tip: don't use input or on-keydown use on key-up. this is because on keyup waits for typing to stop.

not telling you the rest. Competition is needed.

@MarcusWeinberger also, i am adding blur effect (windows acrylic type blur)

@Lethdev2019 Very nice, I just added direct document linking, try it out! Click the Create Link button in the navbar when editing a note

@MarcusWeinberger also, just saying that having competition is healthy as you want to create better features than the other person and the other person wants to do that too.

@Lethdev2019 Oh yeah of course, nothing wrong with a little competition, but I'm always happy to help if I ever can.

https://notes.marcusj.tech/link/9cd16754babd44be94a41334422f7326

there you go. @MarcusWeinberger

sorry, https://notes.marcusj.tech/link/9cd16754babd44be94a41334422f7326
@MarcusWeinberger

@Lethdev2019 Seems to work fine, I'd rather render the markdown server-side for now but this is the best I can do for now. And the public link should update if you change the note you created it from!

ok it works and changes @MarcusWeinberger

@Lethdev2019 Ooh that looks very cool especially the line numbering and braces. I'm really not good with HTML and JS and such but I might try implement this

we have a new prototype - https://pie-nodejs.foxglovedev.repl.co/

how is this version?
@MarcusWeinberger

@Lethdev2019 Pretty cool, but I've also added some new features to mine ;)

It looks very cool though and I like the theme, I still need to get around to adding a dark theme to mine. But test out the embedded JavaScript feature on mine. You can put {{ js|document.cookie }}, for example, and it'll turn it into <span id='some-uuid'></span><script>document.getElementById('some-uuid').innerHTML = eval('document.cookie')</script>, and you can do {{ date }} which will get replaced with the current date at the time

ok i'll try that. @MarcusWeinberger

pretty cool.
I am thinking of adding a note-taking slide out tray to put your pieces of code and... notes. we might also have a dashboard to have "notebooks" and "containers" (where you code).

still hanging on to auto save.

@Lethdev2019 Yeah that sounds really cool, I need to work on autosave :/

@BobTheTomatoPie Ahah well I guess that's cool

@BobTheTomatoPie Damn, I'm not sure how I can. I didn't think about that

Lmao its fun to mess around with at least @MarcusWeinberger

@Code1Tech Ah basically, if you look in templates/base.html there's a tag in the header of the page. <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" sizes="48x48" href="/static/note.png">

oh i get it now! thanks for the help! @MarcusWeinberger

@HahaYes Sure, everything in db.py is purely to connect to Google Firebase. firebase_admin is needed to run the firebase_admin.initialize_app method. from firebase_admin import credentials is needed to create a credentials.Certificate instance, which has my client configuration and security keys, which is used to initialize the firebase app. firestore is to connect and interact with the firestore database.

@HahaYes Whoops, forgot about cryptobaker, that's a library I made. I use it to make my hashing algorithms as you can see in DB.hash. The datetime, base64, json, and os modules are for decoding my configuration from my .env file (only visible to me), and generating timestamps for when notes were last edited

@MarcusWeinberger thanks for the detailed response!
