+		each note has a 512bit generated <i>id</i> that is used to retrieve the note. the note is then encrypted
+		with aes in gcm mode on the client side and then sent to the server. data is stored in memory and
+		never persisted to disk. the server never sees the encryption key and cannot decrypt the contents
+		of the notes even if it tried to.
