Notoner includes a base set of table templates to peek inside and play with. If you want to add your templates, you can put them into the custom set or put them into the extra set if they are coming from someone else - but it's up to you how to manage these sets. Each set contains an index file collecting all table template metadata. To keep it up-to-date, you can run this script: it builds all set indexes and prettifies their table JSONs. To do that, go to the script directory and launch it with node build.js.
Some sample tables have been generated by scripts or use exported variants of the same master assets. You can find this stuff here.
Notoner save files usually contain the table metadata, the game element definitions, and what has been painted on the sheets. But they can also store game assets, such as sheet templates, custom graphics dice and tokens, and so on - making Notoner save files a good way to create and share tiny table templates without hosting them on a Notoner server!

This script looks for some common transfer issues between elements, save files, and UI by crawling into the code and the table templates. It has been hacked together to help me save time, but it eventually grew into something that keeps JSON descriptor files' quick references up-to-date. I've decided to spare his life and put it somewhere in the project. To run it, go to the script directory and launch it with node review.js. Here you can find the script configuration file.
If you're going to develop a new table template, you may need a way to quickly see your changes.
Notoner already allows you to create links to table templates: open the main menu, select the New table option, select a table template from the menu, and then select the Open in a new tab option. For example, this link https://www.kesiev.com/notoner/#databases/base/stampadia-chronicles automatically opens today's Chronicles of Stampadia adventure for you to play.
But I have a trick for you to be even faster: add a ! right after the # in the URL to open a table template, skipping the About screen. This link https://www.kesiev.com/notoner/#!databases/base/stampadia-chronicles will do the trick on Chronicles of Stampadia, so you can open your template on a new tab, add the ! to the URL, work on it, and then refresh the browser page to see your changes.
