Marknote 1.5.0 is out and is packed with new features!

Marknote is turning into a robust knowledge base while keeping the interface as clean and distraction-free as possible.

@kde looks like a good chance to try it out and test if it's a lighter-simplier choice than QownNotes for my use case.

@kde

Just installed it and it looks really nice, love the clean uncluttered interface.

Would be nice if we could resize the images, maybe one day. ๐Ÿ˜‰

@spacemadness @kde It's planned. We started already rewriting the text editor to allow this and be generally more flexible, stay tuned, but likely for the next release :)

@carl @kde

Excellent! Can't wait.

@kde any advice on note app but more focused on manuals and documentation? Without need for using markup, code snippets with syntax highlighting, charts, etc?
@mykolak @kde have you tried Zim Desktop Wiki? Its an excellent note-taking app , with very easy crosslinking to other pages , attached documents or external files. Unfortunately Zim doesn't really have any mobile support
@kde @maddy This was in my timeline just three toots above your thoughts about a local knowledgebase so I thought I'd share this :)
@kde This looks awesome, I didnt know about Marknote!

@kde Does it have git support like Obsidian? I am looking for a free alternative to Obsidian - and a KDE application would be perfect - but it should support git and make linking other notes as easily as with Obsidian where you just type two opening brackets to get link suggestions. Git is important to snyc notes to my mobile device.

I will definetly try it out, thanks for your work!
