I was struggling in finding a good tool to write my diary. I have been using Tiddlywiki for a few years, but Memos has broaden my horizons and it is worth the trial.
Memos is an open source note-taking service inspird by flomo. It’s implementation is quite straight forward, though it’s documentation is very limited, but by following it’s documentation. I can implement this tool happily on my QNAP NAS.
The best thing about Memos is it is very twitter like (now called X liked, what a name), you can quickly jot down the thoughts, notes, take a picuture of nearby stuff and post it for your own record. It would be significantly faster than writing an ordinary diary.
Think of something - Write it down - That’s it.
If you are using a docker, you can follow its documentation here. It could run properly. But since I using a Cloudflared tunnel, I will need to configure it’s IP address and network configurations. You may refer to the tutorials here. It applies the same settings.
Memo also provides third party apps, so that you can access your Memos by using an Android or iOS device.
But since this service would be exposed to the internet, it could induce some security threats. To protect it against unautorized access, you can activate a Cloudflare application to protect it.
By using Cloudflare protection service, you will need to verify your identity before accessing the Memos service. It would cut the connection with your mobile apps. But what make it amazing is that you can use a tailor-made Telegram bot to maintain the connection.
In this case, you can just type to your Telegram bot to upload any notes come across your mind! It is one of the most accessible tool you can imagine in jotting down what you think.
