About Rivisto
We have all been using (or have used) note taking applications like Google Keep, Evernote, Microsoft Onenote, Dropbox Paper, Box Notes, etc. Needless to say, they all work very well. Notes are organized, sync'ed everywhere. Additionally, companion apps are available for mobile, desktop, tablet (and in some cases wearable too!).
That's all nice, indeed. But what about the data itself? How much of a control do you have over its existence? What if, one day, they decide to do away with free plans?
It is because of this (and more) reason, Rivisto came into existence. The core purpose is to get back the control of data and at the same time have almost the same set of basic note taking features.
How's Rivisto different?
* It's open source, so you are well aware of how your notes are processed and saved to database.
* Uses (free plan of) Firebase for storing notes. This takes out the pain of using self hosted solution.
* Companion application for Desktop (Windows, Linux) also available.
Feature List
* Save, Edit, and Delete notes.
* Trash view to restore/permanently delete notes.
* Note tagging by using # with any word in note content (one tag per note).
* Note categorization by Tag.
* Searching for note(s).
* Auto generation of note title based on note content.
* Works offline.
* 2 modes i.e. Use your own Firebase account or a pre-configured database.
* Note sharing (with other applications).
Note - If pre-configured database is used then you cannot access the database itself besides from within the desktop and android application.
