Testing My Notes 3 (you are invited!)

My Notes 3 is almost here!

I am now testing the new features — it would be great if you could join!

Here’s how you could help out with the testing:

• to confirm the functionality
• to experience the UI/UX and provide feedback

See Testing Checklist for details.

My Notes 3

• can Create / Rename / Delete the notes (https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/64, https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/66)
• improved Editor that supports HTML and an easy way to insert bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, Heading 2, Heading 3, paragraph, horizontal rule, unordered list, ordered list (https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/59, https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/72)
• Google Drive backup with automatic two-way sync (on every open, close, refresh of My Notes), which uploads new and edited notes to Google Drive, and downloads new and edited notes from Google Drive (https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/53)
• better integration with the browser, which comes down to:
  • name of the open note is displayed in the browser’s Tab (https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/65)
  • Back/Forward buttons (or associated shortcuts) can navigate between last open notes (https://github.com/penge/my-notes/issues/69)

Testing Checklist

Here’s a list of things to test, which is also a detailed list of the new features. Any additional playing around is very welcome.

Create / Rename / Delete

1. Can create a new note (see New note button)

   • new note is added to the NOTE_LIST in an alphabetical order; also in every other open My Notes tab NOTE_LIST
   • new note name needs to be unique – creating a note with the name taken by an existing note should not be allowed

2. Can rename the note (see three dots button)

   • can rename the note from the NOTE_LIST

     • while renaming the note, it should be highlighted in blue
     • after the note is renamed, the name should be updated, tiles should be updated in an alphabetical order; renaming should be applied in every open My Notes tab NOTE_LIST and NOTE_DETAIL for the same note
     • note should NOT be renamed if the new name is taken by an existing note

   • can rename the note from the NOTE_DETAIL

     • while renaming the note, it should be highlighted in blue
     • after the note is renamed, the name should be updated; renaming should be applied in every open My Notes tab NOTE_LIST and NOTE_DETAIL for the same note
     • note should NOT be renamed if the new name is taken by an existing note

3. Can delete the note (see three dots button)

   • can delete the note from the NOTE_LIST

     • while deleting the note, it should be highlighted in red and proceed only if you type “delete”
     • after deleted, it should be removed from the NOTE_LIST; also from every other open My Notes tab NOTE_LIST and if in NOTE_DETAIL, it should jump to an updated NOTE_LIST

   • can delete the note from the NOTE_DETAIL

     • while deleting the note, it should be highlighted in red and proceed only if you type “delete”
     • after deleted, it should jump to an updated NOTE_LIST; also update every other open My Notes tab NOTE_LIST and if in NOTE_DETAIL, it should jump to an updated NOTE_LIST

   • creating a new note with the name as deleted one should be possible

Editing

1. The new Editor can style the content, or insert the elements

   • buttons for bold, italic, underline, etc., should apply the style, or insert the element
   • keyboard shortcuts should work too after selecting a text, like CTRL+B for bold
   • styles can be combined, such as bold + italic

2. Editing the note content is synchronized across the other My Notes tab(s)

   • changing the note content should be updated after 1 second in every other open My Notes tab NOTE_LIST and NOTE_DETAIL for the same note

Browser integration

1. The title in the browser’s Tab should change accordingly:

   • when in NOTE_LIST to “My Notes”
   • when in NOTE_DETAIL to note’s name

2. Can use Back/Forward buttons (or associated shortcuts) to navigate between the recently open notes

   • if the note in the history was meanwhile renamed or deleted, navigating to it should open NOTE_LIST

Google Drive

1. Google Drive in Options does the following:

   • after enabled:

     • My Notes folder is created in your Google Drive – if it doesn’t exist; and if it exists – existing folder should be used
     • it should display a link next to “Backup location:”; when clicked, it should open in the new tab newly created or existing My Notes folder in your Google Drive
     • your notes should be immediately uploaded to Google Drive / My Notes
     • Time of sync should be displayed next to “Last sync:”
     • NOTE_LIST should have “Sync Now” button displayed, with “Last sync:” and “Open in Google Drive”
     • if enabled from a second computer, existing notes should be downloaded

   • after disabled:

     • it should remove the link next to “Backup location:”, remove the time next to “Last sync:”
     • NOTE_LIST should have hidden “Sync Now” button, “Last sync:”, “Open in Google Drive”
     • uploaded notes should stay if Google Drive

2. When My Notes is Open/Closed/Refreshed, or “Sync Now” is clicked, following should happen:

   • towards Google Drive

     • notes that are new, are uploaded creating a new file
     • notes that are updated, are uploaded updating the existing file

   • towards My Notes:

     • files that are new, are downloaded as new notes
     • files that are updated (manually in Google Drive, or from other computer’s My Notes), are downloaded and update the content of the note

   • if Google Drive / My Notes folder is deleted by you, the synchronization should stop (and hide/reset the elements related to the synchronization)

   • if Google Drive in Options is disabled, the synchronization should stop (and hide/reset the elements related to the synchronization)

Update: Sorry guys for the delay about the release. Especially to @bhupesh-sf and others eagerly waiting. I appreciate your demand.

Release date: May 20 on GitHub (sending for approval to Web Store) May 22 on Web Store (estimated 2 days, but need to be ready it can take longer)

I think the release date is solid now. The bug I found, it’s fixed. Need to test it more.

Please, be patient. Just want to make sure My Notes 3 is ready.
