Run HTTP

Port 6000 is blocked by many browsers. noteX uses port 6001 for HTTP.

npm run dev

Open:

http://localhost:6001/

For a VM/server:

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:6001/

Example:

http://192.168.56.56:6001/

Run HTTPS

npm run dev:https

Open:

https://localhost:6002/

The certificate is self-signed, so the browser may show a warning. Choose Advanced / Proceed for local testing.

Firewall

sudo ufw allow 6001/tcp
sudo ufw allow 6002/tcp

Build for production

npm run build
npm run preview

Preview runs on:

http://localhost:8080/

Reset local data

If you previously opened an older version, clear IndexedDB once:

Browser DevTools → Application → IndexedDB → noteX-v1.6 → Delete database

Then refresh.

Notes

Cloud sync is still a UI stub in this version. Real Google Drive/OneDrive OAuth and backup upload should be implemented in v2.0 after local editor, database, and snapshot flows are stable.

v1.6.1 UI fixes

• Removed the empty Favorite placeholder from the sidebar.
