I CANT BELIEVE I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS.
So, y'all, I teach in the MSIT at Florida State University, and this
semester is my Advanced Web Applications class. Broadly, it ends up
being a VERY language agnostic class because our student pool is varied
in terms of skill (FSU is weird, our Computer Science dept is completely
separate from our Information/IT School, and I'm in the latter). I
personally have a very wide-but-SHALLOW knowledge about languages and
frameworks (right now we still default to PHP + a little mostly vanilla
JS because that's what I know how to do, despite all the frameworky
stuff out there)
Either way, though, I'd LOVE to point some of my students in the
direction of some sort of web and/or mobile interface to Zim. It really
does seem like it shouldn't be that hard especially if you consider the
possibility of not really interacting with Zim-native's internal
database, just do "the files" and perhaps spin up a separate one if
needed. That, for me, has always been the beauty of Zim - the flat
files. The db isn't "primary" and can be reloaded/destroyed whatever. I
occasionally have cheated on Zim with org-mode. naughty-naughty, and
that factor -- the ability to create multiple types of interfaces
(orgzly, organice, etc etc) because of the simplicity of the filesystem.
Anyway, this is part cheerleading and part volunteer from someone who'd
love to see more of this.

Slightly off but my advice is not to go with Django. It was a clever
framework (does things ahead of time, like orm) and has some unique
features, but it's components are not standard and it is a bit
glued-together. Rather go with standard libraries (which you can use
in any (non-web) projects)!

Wow. That was quick. I will test your patch.
And the idea for building a full-fledged web application around
Zim is great. It should be started as a separate project, however.
Zim community may not welcome the idea integrated into Zim since
Zim has been very robust by being lean (and not being too many
things at once).
If you do start work on the project, I'd be willing to help. I
have some experience with Flask but not much with Django.

Since it seems there is no easy way to add search to the
server I made
the patch attached (against master). There's an example search
box in
the "Default_with_index" template.
But this got me thinking, now I'm looking for other features,
tag list,
task list, maybe even marking tasks directly from the server
or editing
pages... This seems to be a little too much for this server.
Using a
framework, Django or whatever, would be easier. Maybe a separated
project from Zim?
