Reading folders rather than database?

[TobiasDev]

While I love boostnote, the lack of a mobile app at the moment is stopping me from being able to use it (since I really need a mobile app). What I have done is that I now use one app for desktop, and another for my phone (markor), and I sync between these by syncing a folder directly through my cloud provider.

Would it be possible for Boostnote to read folders instead of a database? Eg. I have a folder called Notes, with sub-folders for my different notes. Would it be possible for Boostnote to read this?

You can add folder with whatever name you want.
Go to preference -> Storage -> add storage location.
Unfortunately you cannot arrange your note as a folder tree, and I want that feature too.

Yeah, but then my .md notes doesn't show up for me, so I guess they have to be in a database or such?

This is boostnote.json file in the root of storage location:

{ "folders": [ { "key": "80287a70da85f6715ab5", "color": "#FF8E00", "name": "Cheat sheet" }, { "key": "69a6b1691ec4c6f2e7fe", "color": "#E10051", "name": "Snippest" }, { "key": "f29cb8e2a1eebb58d7c3", "color": "#B013A4", "name": "Server Tutorial" }, { "key": "3d21e133d4c3c782f16f", "color": "#B013A4", "name": "Tutorial" } ], "version": "1.0" }

This is how a note is stored in ~/notes:

createdAt: "2019-03-21T05:06:45.472Z" updatedAt: "2019-03-21T05:06:49.834Z" type: "MARKDOWN_NOTE" folder: "3d21e133d4c3c782f16f" title: "" tags: [] content: "" linesHighlighted: [] isStarred: false isTrashed: true

Boostnote used json and cson file as its database.

#490 is for changing from cson to md.
