What is Omni Notes (Open Source)?

Omni Notes is an open-source note taking application, designed to be lightweight and simple without giving up smart behavior.

Source code : https://github.com/federicoiosue/Omni-Notes

Component(s)

I had noticed while using the said application that it has no Online Backup System which has been linked to Google on its Settings section . Therefore, I concluded that there is something lacking within the said application. Somehow, the lacking feature which I am referring to is one of the most important feature an application should have. The said feature should be added to the Settings section of the application in order for the users to have an assurance that the works they have done are safe and secured. In short, it has been saved or backed up.

Example Situation (To know and better understand the importance of this suggestion)

The situation wherein you are using “ Omni Notes ” while making important text notes or checklists yet, an unexpected closing of the application (error) occurred. You haven’t saved what you have done and ended up with no back up of it so all you have done well serve as “ good for nothing ”. With this kind of situation, any user of the said application will be having such undesirable point of view and actions with the said application.

Proposal

From the given situation above, the title of this contribution suggests that the developers of Omni Notes should add a ONLINE BACKUP SYSTEM WHICH CAN BE LINKED TO GOOGLE. In other words, the developers must have to put a back up log-in system wherein the user will use his/her google account and password in which he/she will be saving the back up of his important files. In order to make this suggestion possible, the Omni Notes developers should make some enhancement on their application from which this suggestion will be included and so as to be implemented. To make this suggestion easier to interpret, the author of this contribution post provided the current format as well as his suggested format.
