Webnote - FAQ

• What browsers will Webnote work in?

  I test the system in Firefox, Internet Explorer 5.5 (Windows), Internet Expoer 6.x, Opera 8+, and Safari 1.3+.

• Can I use Webnote to store my own notes?

  Sure, use it for anything legal. I have no intentions of charging money in the future or deleting your notes.

• How are people using Webnote?

  Some use it to store pictures, others have used it to give presentations. It has even been used for real time collaboration (sorry, no link due to server load issues).
  
  Personally, I just use it to jot down some notes like an electronic TODO list.

• Can I password protect my notes?

  Not right now. If you want to password protect the notes, you could install Webnote on your own server and use your favorite authentication method (apache .htaccess, ssl, whatever).
  
  The main reason for this is that it is difficult to prevent cross site scripting and allow users to put arbitrary HTML and javascript in a note. I think the flexibility to put javascript in notes is more important than being able to password protect notes.
  
  Another reason I haven't implemented such a thing is because I like the ability of being able to share notes by just sharing a URL.

• Why don't you just use a wiki?

  I use different tools for different types of notes. For me, a wiki is good for collaboration and organizing lots of text (with hyperlinks), but bad at visually organizing ideas on one screen.
