Nodetto

A modernized version of Notto, ported from Tauri/Rust to a Node.js/Express backend and a PWA frontend. Completely remade while only looking at documentation (and vibe coding it). Licensed under SPL-R5. If you want a more "open" version, check out the main project.

Architecture

• Frontend: React-based Progressive Web App (PWA) using Vite.
• Local Storage: IndexedDB (via Dexie.js).
• Encryption: End-to-end encryption using Web Crypto API and Argon2id (via hash-wasm).
• Backend: Node.js Express server with QuickDB (SQLite).
• Synchronization: Automatic background synchronization with the server.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js v18 or higher (Node v25 recommended for development).

Installation

npm run install:all

Running Locally

1. Start the server:

   npm run server:dev

   (Server runs at http://localhost:3000)

2. Start the client:

   npm run client:dev

   (Client runs at http://localhost:1420)

Security

Nodetto maintains the same Zero-Knowledge security model as the original Notto:

• All notes are encrypted locally before being sent to the server.
• The server never sees your master password or unencrypted notes.
• Encryption keys are derived using Argon2id.
