brittohalloran/notestack — Issue #28: New notes created by external programs not added on sync

State: open

I'm not entirely sure what the problem is here, but the part I seem to be able to reproduce works as follows:

1. Log in to Notestack
1. Using some other service (Simplenoteapp.com, Notational Velocity, whatever), create a new note
1. Go back to Notestack and run the sync

It seems that the new note will not be downloaded and added to the database. I've also experienced situations as follows:

1. Log in to Notestack
1. Using an external service, change a note
1. Go back to Notestack and sync

I've had at least one situation where the external changes were overwritten by Notestack, which effectively reverted the note to the previous state -- i.e., removed all changes made in the external program. (Thank goodness that Simplenoteapp.com keeps revision histories!) I have a hard time testing this, as I don't have access to other programs when at work, and I'm not at my work computer when at home :) See if you can replicate this, and I'll try to play with remotely logging in and testing it over the weekend.
