For those not interested in electron, you can give VNote a try: https://tamlok.github.io/vnote

It is something like MDWiki but with the capability to read the index file `_vnote.json` of VNote, which enables us to share one notebook or folder of VNote. Its look is based on Boostrap's website. Just click on the `Documentation` ta

When I started VNote two years ago, I was just a traditional C++ player. So Qt Widgets is the choice. I think it can give me the most freedom and power. When VNote did not support PlantUML, I used VS Code and plugin to edit and preview Plan

Give it a try! :) VNote supports Vim mode in the bone (Ctrl+J/K everywhere to navigate), Captain Mode (from the leader key of Vim), Navigation Mode (each widget shows two chars to select to focus), Universal Entry (just like CtrlP in V

VNote is a Markdown note-taking app. Markdown is excellent to hold script such as PlantUML, mermaid, and so on. So it is possible to support DSL, too.

This plugin just shows you the graph, right? VNote can scroll the corresponding element into view and highlight it, which is very helpful when the class diagram is really large on a small screen. By the way, when you double click an element

So that is what "search in result" does?

Yeah! I used Vim to take md notes before writing VNote. I intended to write VNote to manage and preview the images, formulas, and charts. Indeed, VNote bollows a lot from Vim, like the leader key, split, and so on. I am satisfied about VNot

Qt works fine to me. It is easy to develop cross-platform apps via Qt. Utilizing QWebEngine, I am amazed at the hybrid of C++ and Javascript.

Yes, it is desigbed to handle different formats. But for now, it only handles md files. I plan to enable it to support managing and editing source files, with which we could use VNote to store code snippets. I also want to support infinite

Hi, for now you could use VNote as an editor to open and edit any md files. VNote treats internal notes and external files differently. Indeed I use VNote to edit the github page and it is really enjoyable. VNote uses notebook to manage not

VNote uses plaintext for all data. The design is you could use any editors to edit your notes even after VNote is obsolete.

VNote does support MathJax. Check the screenshots. I plan to support plantUML, too.

There is a 500ms delay after the content change before parsing syntax. It could be tuned and optimized. Thanks for your feedback.

Try opening multiple long md files and switch among them?

VNote is great for managing and editing plaintext md files. All data is plaintext and you could even use any editor to edit your notes even after VNote is obsolete someday.

I think link in edit mode is OK. I used the conceal feature in Vim to hide the URL part of the link when I used Vim to edit Markdown before. But I found that it distracted me when I moved the cursor above the link, the URL part showed,

Use this kind of syntax seems do not support up to 6 levels of headings? VNote use `markdown-it` to render the Markdown, so VNote will recognize them in read mode. VNote just choose one syntax to recommend for simplicity, so the outline see

VNote is inspired by Vim, so there is no reason to not support Vim mode in VNote. However, the Vim mode is implemented by myself one feature by one feature and it does not support the `.` and macro yet.

Indeed, VNote is inspired by Vim when I used Vim to edit Markdown notes for about a month. VNote utilize many code editors' features for note taking, such as Vim mode, vertical split, and shortcuts. The obvious differences to code edit

Currently I am focusing on the edit experience of VNote. Next step, I will try to connect to third-party store services within VNote, which enables VNote to sync by itself. After that, we could think of the Web client. According to current

Ha :) I am not very satisfied about current Markdown editors or note-taking apps. Most Markdown editors use side-by-side live preview to minimize the gap between the edit and read of Markdown. People usually think of "live preview&quot

Yes, I hate using Electron apps too, although it is easier to write beautiful interface using Electron than using Qt. I previously use [CMD Markdown]( https://www.zybuluo.com/mdeditor ) to edit notes, which is developed in El
