opus's Introduction

Opus

Opus is a minimal note-taking application.

It aims to be a mix between a text-editor and code-editor. It reads and writes .note files from your native file system. This means it works well with tools like Dropbox for syncing files across your devices.

Much like a code-editor, Opus opens folders and allows you to edit the files inside. You can have multiple windows open, each with a different folder.

Features

🖋 Editing: Supports rich text editing with all the features you'd expect.
📄 Uses Files: Uses tangible files in JSON format, not inaccessible databases.
🌙 Dark Mode: Includes a dark mode for late night writing.
⚙️ Customizable: The sidebar and footer can be hidden for a more focused experience.
📂 Multiple Projects: Opus supports opening multiple folders at once.
✨ Simple: Opus has only the features you need.

Installation

You can download the latest macOS binary from releases.

Alternatively, you can run Opus locally from the command line:

$ git clone https://github.com/pacocoursey/Opus.git
$ cd opus
$ npm install
$ npm start

opus's Issues

How can i hide this menu?

In Ubuntu, the main menu text is unreadable.

In Ubuntu 18.10, with the default "Yaru" theme, the menu background is dark. Because the text is also dark, the menu is not readable. With a light theme, the menu is readable. The screenshot shows how things look with a dark and a light theme:

Cannot save or create new files

Both 2.0.0 .exe and Cloned Repo do not show a file tree. There is no way to edit files:

^^ 2.0.0 .exe

^^ Current Repo Clone (started with npm start)

These are the errors I am getting in the dev console:

Unclear how to save notes

After the main window is displayed, it is possible to type text in the right pane. However it doesn't seem possible to save the note. There is nothing displayed in the left pane (according to the welcome wizard, there should be a folder, if I understood correctly), and the menu items (new, save,...) don't seem to do anything.

Possibility to disable spellchecking

Hi,

I use Opus on mac for my IT notes and I would like to know if there is a way to remove the spellchecking because it always adds red underlining under/over the word and it sometimes prevents to read easily.

I can still learn the word by right-clicking but I would prefer to disable it if there is a way.

Thanks for your answer.

Fixed window size doesn't play well with tiling window managers

Hello! I'd just like to mention that Opus's fixed window size makes it virtually unusable on a tiling window manager, where windows are automatically sized to fill the screen. It would be great if Opus's main window wasn't fixed sized, or even if there was an option to enable dynamic resizing. I'd be glad to open a PR for this if it's a desired feature. Thanks!

Linux Support?

I'd love to see linux support added :)

Window dissapears after going through the welcome wizard

This issue was observed after installing the Linux version, by installing the appimage. It might also occurs on other OS's, but that wasn't tested.
The appimage installation performs as expected from an appimage. The application is launched automatically after performing the installation. So, the welcome wizard is displayed.

There seems to be an issue however: after going through the wizard, the window closes and never comes back. The application must be launched again to see main window again.

New Note ?? Really

The New Note DIalogue is greyed out and making the file to import IN'T the worst but you competition smokes you on that

No launcher icon in Ubuntu

In Ubuntu, there is no launcher icon. This is caused by this bug in Electron-builder: electron-userland/electron-builder#2577

The workaround is to add a icon.icns (for mac) and icon.ico (for windows) in the assets folder, but not a icon.png. The presence of the png causes the bug apparently. For a, yet unclear, reason, the Linux icon is generated from the icon.icns file, but only when there is no icon.png.
