Hello Greg. Do you mean this thread ? > I tried it mobile and wasn't truly understanding everything you were > trying to achieve. > Do you mean this notification or the whole Noteself page? Initially I thought it was all about the launch icon on the device making > more more like a native app. Cool, but wasn't enough to keep me that > interested. Actually is more than just an icon. Is the ability to use NoteSelf which is a web application even without any internet connection. Try to put your phone on airplane mode and open NoteSelf (no matter if you do from the browser or the desktop shortcut), it should work. Then I read a little more in some other posts here and see you are > interested in solving the mobile user experience.

That will restrict CORS to the noteself online version. You are not forced to download the html file, I want to enforce that you can just use the online version, but if you want to do so, you have to set the domains to * > With those to things I got NoteSelf replicating as advertised.

If you use the online version of NoteSelf then you are connecting to an https site that communicates to an https database. Everything secured by the https protocol. To be able to write/read to your database, you need to provide your cloudant credentials, which are your username and password. > > P.S.
