Plan Forward / Roadmap

notd is under active development.

Getting Started / Installation

Setting it up is straightforward. You’ll generally need a web server environment with PHP and SQLite support.

1. Server Environment: Make sure your web server is ready to serve the application files and has PHP and SQLite capabilities.
2. Permissions: Ensure the web server has write permissions for the db/ directory (or the custom path you set in config.php for your database).
3. Configuration: If config.php doesn’t exist, copy config.php.example to config.php. You can then update DB_PATH in config.php if you wish to store the database in a custom location (default is db/notd.sqlite).
4. Launch: Open notd in your web browser by navigating to its URL on your server. Enjoy!

The application is also designed with phpdesktop in mind, allowing it to be packaged as a standalone desktop application. If using a phpdesktop build, refer to its specific instructions.
