Summarizing my attempts to understand StandardNotes codebase.
How does it sync?
How does it encrypt?

Overall front-end code structure?
How does it store on user disk?
How does it store on the server?
Web client (also core for desktop):
Desktop client:

Core js logic:
Web
I love how easy it is to start it locally. yarn install && yarn start
. Done.
What is the rails server doing inside the client app?
Are there any tests?
Sync server
DI with inversify.
Specs are located right next to the code under test.
What is extensions server?
I thought all extensions were client-side? If so, why do anything about them when syncing items?
Are notes just rows in MySQL?
I expected them to be blobs in some blobstore or something.
Is there a limit on the item size then?
S3, SNS, SQS - what are they doing here?
What exactly does "projection" mean?
Conversion between persistent-data and some transfer format?
S3 backup
Bindings are helpful to understand where everything is
ItemService - seems to actually handle persistence
