NoteNice is a web app for Flatiron School written in Ruby using Sinatra, ActiveRecord, SQLite3, and PostgreSQL.

NoteNice is a collaborative note-taking app for sharing and editing notes with your friends that uses redcarpet markdown formatting. Currently, NoteNice supports copying notes as well as making public or private notes. Future features will include more robust git-like version control to keep everyone on the same page, including requesting editing permission and saving your favorites.
