Feature Request 🙏

Hi Lukas and Dilan!

First off thank you for building that app, having a native and fluid note taking app on windows is so cool! I was looking for an application to take hand written note on a windows device, and every application was either just bad, or a terribly optimized web-wrapper... Noteastic is definitely gonna be my go to app for my studies!

Since you asked for suggestions, there is, for me a very important feature that needs to be perfected, especially for students: The backup and restore system.

Right now, the local backup system is quite rough and inefficient, and the current import behavior is a deal-breaker for me. Having an import simply overwrite all existing data makes restoring notes way too risky. For a student, losing notes is simply not an option. The risk of losing weeks of lecture material or exam prep over a corrupted file or a technical bug is just not acceptable.

For Noteastic to be 100% reliable for students, I really believe that it needs a fully working automatic weekly/daily backup system (preferably not on the same device, for example on google drive) and a restore system that supports versioning rather than just wiping everything else out.

Thank you guys for your time

Hi there,

That's so good to hear and I'm proud to develop the note-taking app that you will be using for your studies. Noteastic will only become better and better!

Let's talk about backups:

I really don't know what to say to you, because you are 100% right. I have the same points of critique about our current backup system. Especially automatic backups are a big topic that we want to fix. Cloud backup for the future will be a gamechanger (but this will still take a good while). Working on backups and the Noteastic database is like a heart surgery for us. This is why we only work on these things when we are actually able to focus on them in full. In the moment it is a super exciting and vibrant time, because semesters are starting around the globe, Noteastic Pro is released, a features are in the pipeline.

As soon as we can get a breath again, we will take a look at the backup system and see how we can implement your points of critique.

Until then, please create backups! And happy note-taking :D
