Confirmation of the saving process

[danlam156]

Hi,

it would be great to see the status of the "saving process" as I know it from Google Keep. So, a confirmation that everything has been stored properly.
This is what it shows in the Google Keep web interface when you have added a node, but it hasn't been stored on the server yet (in general, it always tries to store it immediately, but might take a few seconds when you're having connection issues).

This is what it shows when it has been stored:

I'm currently moving my notes from Google Keep to TriliumNext Notes.
Quite recently, from my mobile phone, I moved a note from Google Keep to Trilium and deleted it on Google Keep. When I checked later, the note was no longer present in Trilium. Seems like I had some connection issues on my mobile phone and the note wasn't correctly saved. Fortunately, I still had it in my trash bin in Google Keep. But having something like this would provide a confirmation that everything is saved and I wouldn't have to worry about connection problems that I might not be aware of.

Mobile doesn't show the sync status currently but desktop shows it like this when something is pending sync:

And this once it is synced:

@eliandoran the development image doesn't show the sync icon in the launchbar for me (even on desktop):

launchbar:

This is the sync status between different Trilium instances, right? Then I think I mean something different.
I only have one instance to whose web interface I'm connecting from my mobile phone for example. So everything I enter on my mobile is sent to the server, but I don't have a confirmation if everything has been stored properly. It would be great to have something like that.

@meichthys , can you check that the sync is correctly configured in the dev build? It won't show up unless you have a sync set up.

[eliandoran]

@danlam156 , you're right, the sync state is mostly useful for clients with their own data (i.e. desktop app). The PWA and web client don't have a sync status.

It would be interesting to have one, indeed.

Also let me know if you find any Google Keep features that you are missing in Trilium Next.

Lol of course! I was doing some multi-layer virtualization and forgot where i was. Indeed i was on the web interface so no sync status expected there.
