basic dev question
-
I’m creating a web app and I want a way for users to take notes in a specific tab in the app. I came across SimpleNotes as a solution for sharing notes between my Android phone and my Apple-based products where I’ve been using Apple’s Notes app regularly. Seeing that it’s open-source and it uses Simperium, I’m thinking it would be a lot easer to just have users sign up for SimpleNote, then use Simperium to copy a new page of notes to the rest of their SN notebook (or whatever it’s called).
My app is session-based, and I can add some meta-details about that session and the user just adds whatever notes they want to make about the session and not have to worry about what to do otherwise. Their next session just creates a new page of notes that’s added to their SN notebook. I don’t see any value in having access to the entire SimpleNotes notebook inside of the app, but they could always access the SN app on their device if they wanted to see the whole notebook.
Does this approach make sense from an API standpoint? (I haven’t looked over the API, but thought I’d explain my use-case and see what others think of it.)
The alternative is to take the notes and stuff them into a DB and then build a separate app to let them go through all of the notes. Or implement something like a social media “news feed” where they just add a note to the feed, and scroll around to see earlier notes within the app, but I just don’t see a need for that.
Thoughts?

Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out. This sounds like some exciting projects.
At this moment, we don’t have plans for a Simplenote API, and signing up for a Simperium account is no longer possible. Given this, it won’t be possible to use Simplenote to accomplish what you’re looking for at this time.
I hope you can find another solution that best meets your needs.
Cheers!
