Wow, a web interface may be a great improvement. I started using zim in 2012, and it's a great productive tool. There's everything I need, without being complex.
I suppose that security-aware people use Zim with some kind of crypto-loop filesystem, like ecryptfs, sharing the underlying encrypted files/blocks, or use tools like cryptomator. It's also possible that self encrypted SSD or bitlocker-like encryption is in use by people with only one PC or notebook. It will be great to deploy a web based Zim to some VPS, hosting service, or container, but I think that no cleartext should be saved to such external resources. In your opinion, could it be possible to adopt a client-side encryption layer that act before sending files to the server, while allowing to download cleartext locally? Thank you for your initiative.
