1. Nice. The more kinds of self-run notes apps to choose from, the better, IMO.

2. Nit - on the demo page: Priavcy --> Privacy

3. Why does one of my browsers raise the error, "Your browser does not support service workers. Please use another browser."? Can this be worked around, or is the use of service workers essential to the distinguishing characteristics of the app? Genuinely curious.

Thanks a lot. Well without the service worker it wouldn't work offline any more and that's one of the key features. I remember trying to write down some notes in Keep while traveling just to find out it sometimes doesn't work offline.

I'm curious which browser are you using?

Not OP, but I get this message too. I'm using a modern Firefox (Firefox has supported service workers since 2016) so browser version isn't an issue.

I don't know much about service workers. But, after some searching I found out they apparently aren't supported in private / incognito mode.

I do 95%+ of my browsing in incognito mode, so this makes a lot of sense.

I experienced a strange thing while tried inspecting the source code: regardless of what file I opened, I always got back the contents of the index.html. See the screenshot here: http://deejayy.hu/share/paste-20240611-214248.png

After refreshing, it properly displayed the JS code for the SW.

Thanks, that definitely seems worthwhile then!

Its likrly the.privacy options that prevent storage.

And another small typo: GitHub falvored -> GitHub flavored

fixed, thanks!
