Hi Limedrop, I've checked both "components", and it's unclear how the medium-notes are stored and retrieved. Do you happen to know if the medium-notes require a database to store these notes? Cause apearantly it was decided to avoid using databases for the book, mainly due to performance issues. (see github issue 232, found here <https://github.com/mdipierro/web2py-book/issues/232>).
Now even if the medium-notes does require a db, the jquery clone does not! So we should be able to implement at least the clone. But then the question remains, how are we going to store these notes? With kind regards, Jacobs Dennis. On Thursday, September 18, 2014 3:17:56 AM UTC+2, Limedrop wrote: > > Have you seen the medium.com in-context notes?
