CLI or API for creating notes or use existed (view, copy, open, delete)

Feature request: ability to operate Boostnote via command line / API

Also, this will give the way to making tools and workflows for Boostnote advanced use.

I was about to open a new issues with exactly the same request 🎉 My personal use case is: I have Dropbox running with my notes. Usually I use it at home, but I also have it running on a VPS where I ssh when I need a remote working environment. It would be very helpful to also being able to access my notes.

Hi,
For my use case, I made an opensource alternative of IFTTT.com, and I would like an API (and not a CLI) to be able to add notes to boostnote from the server which automate the tasks.
As it's on a server, I dont expect a solution with a CLI which will mean, syncing the notes from the server too.
So an API that allows us to create files on the Cloud service (dropbox or others:), like boostnote expects it to be. Because as the file name and the folder name in the boostnote file are not readable by us on dropbox, I suppose there is a rule to follow to create a file and its content ?
I hope the Applications/boostnote-mobile/boostnote.json file is the place to look at and contains the folder name and hash ?
Regards

It is definitely nice to have. But I'm going to bring this after Boostnote renewed.

@ww7 Note sure if it helps, but I've written a (janky) bash script that automates the creation of Boostnote notes. It could be adapted to edit existing notes etc.

I might have time to look into this. What are some features that you want to have included?
I guess a good start would be add, remove, list, view (printing out the raw markdown/snippet).

@SirWinfield 🎉 Those 4 would be a great start. Being able to add and remove a note from a specified inbox would be great.
