4Minitz - free webapp for taking meeting minutes

[girish]

It seems a new app gets app to the WIP list everyday But seriously, I mark something as WIP when a package already exists or there is some real work in progress. Hopefully, if someone here packages an initial version, I can mark it as WIP.

[vjvanjungg]

ok perfecto!

[stantropics]

We need a mongo-db to run this. Should it run inside inside the app?

[girish]

@stantropics there is a mongodb add-on. See the rocket chat package source code for reference

[stantropics]

@girish will do and keep you posted. Thanks.

Just to reiterate that I'd really love to be able to use this. Have lots of co-operative organisations I'm part of who could make good use of it!

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates Wow, literally just solved the exact challenge I'm working on now with forming a new company and Directors, Shareholders & Company Secretary all in different countries.

for this.

We can sponsor this development if anyone wants to make it happen?

[marcusquinn]

I can see this being a highly valuable app to sell as a service to any company, and a good ice-breaker app for helping them solve one thing that would likely not need any migration from existing platforms or processes when likely they are all just using randomly organised file servers as we are.

Solve one problem, get paid, offer another solutions. Definitely a good client relationship building app for consultants.

Be great to get it packaged! And sounds like it shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows what they are doing:

@jdaviescoates It's also a meteor app and thus easy to package. And supports ldap as well, too good!

[jdaviescoates]

@stantropics did you start packaging this?

[marcusquinn]

@jdaviescoates Been chatting with @Lonk to get this going.

So the main repo hasn't had an update in a year.
I have (ok had) it passing tests on node v10, and I am working through dependencies to see what needs to be changed to bring it to node v12.

I'm all for more apps on CL, but if it's not being maintained.. and Etherpad is an alternative option..

Is there a better OSS option?

[bubonicfred]

@robi
It seems to be a very rare product among OSS,
I might have a couple of options to look at, if I can find where I made note of them

Not really.

This 4Minitz app is way more than a place to take notes. Have you watched the video? Check it out

[timconsidine]

@jdaviescoates yep, it looks very capable and pleasant to use.
Preparing agendas, circulating them, preparing minutes, sending out, losing them etc, all a slow process when done by conventional long-form manual means.
Hope to see it on Cloudron soon

[robi]

@jdaviescoates I never did see the video, thanks for the reminder.

I'm in +1

Looks like it would manually install in WP unmanaged or LAMP app if it weren't for mongo.

Docker image exists though.. nice.

[bubonicfred]

So I've been working on bringing this up to date.
Please bear in mind I'm not really a dev, but so far I've gotten it up to Meteor 2.2 (Node 12) where I'm pausing to try and replace dead dependencies. I do also want to rewrite the front end as well, very bodgy at the moment.
