My other app [1] is also Phoenix and Liveview, but it probably isn't interesting to you unless you have the same hobby as I do XD

I made an export function that just basically dumps the entire schema out to JSON that can be processed with something like jq, but I should see if I can make some sort of bulk import function that would be easy to use

This and the previous comment are both correct :)

I've been meaning to make a website for this like my other project [1], but I was lazy and just posted this to HN thinking it'd get like one upvote lol. It's really more of just my personal wiki that I wanted to create specifically with the hierarchical linking/backlinking that I didn't see any other notetaking applications having just the way I wanted.

Unfortunately, it only supports text currently :(

I also haven't really stress tested it, this was really more of a personal wiki that I wanted to create specifically with the hierarchical linking/backlinking that I didn't see any other notetaking applications having just the way I wanted. But since the application is relatively simple, I think Postgres should be able to handle the load.

It uses fulltext search built into Postgres for all the searching capabilities though, so hopefully it is good!

Was there any environment variables in particular that were difficult to set up? I'd like to make the installation instructions as easy to install as possible!

I felt like the most difficult/frustrating setup step would be signing up for a SMTP service like mailjet, mailgun, etc in order to get emails working, but I haven't had many people try to set it up before and talk to me about it :)

Oh I also almost forgot, if you'd like a reverse proxy that's easy to setup, I'd recommend Nginx Proxy Manager [1]

That's actually my personal instance, but I made a random pipeline public so you can view it [1]! Here's a screenshot of the editing view if you're interested [2]
