Not from KDE

I tried it before creating Klevernotes, and it was just to much for me. I would like to make an alternative that look and feel simpler, while keeping the power.

But if QOwnNote is good for you, that's cool

You might not need one more, but I'm having fun making it and the work is here, so why not sharing it

Next step is "WYSIWYG like editor" And the addition of different Plugins

[-] louis_sch@lemmy.kde.social 11 points 3 months ago

Thanks you !

I want it to look nice and easy to use while keeping some power under the hood ;-)

My first plan is to add NextCloud Note sync

But if the two are compatible let's go for it ! Thanks for sharing this

[-] louis_sch@lemmy.kde.social 6 points 3 months ago

I don't have a Next Cloud instance but I don't see why this would not work :-)

Just need to walk the folder hierachy to your note

Math integration is something I want, hesitant between Katex and ASCIIMATH, but there's no such thing currently

Technicaly no git integration, as in, there's no way to "git add/commit/Push" directly from the app, but you can style do it. Your notes are saved inside a folder, you can see the path directly from the settings, so you can technicaly use git on it. I personnaly use syncthing

No spell checking, never thought about it, could be a cool feature, thanks for the idea

A "WYSIWYG like" editor is currently in progress (next big update)

I don't want to go full richtext mode a la LibreOffice writter, it will be something similar as Marktext instead

You will still see the Markdown tag (e.g: the "#" in your heading) but with the possibility to style them in a way that make them pretty much dissapear when your note editing that part, and some nice color and font size for the important part, that would pretty much mimic the preview style ;-)

[-] louis_sch@lemmy.kde.social 7 points 3 months ago

No, there's currently nothing similar to richtext editing.

You edit your text inside the editor and it is renderer in the preview. You can toggle on/off one or the other.

I tried to make things easier with the editor toolbar. You can easily create table from it through a dialog similar to the one from richtext editor such as LibreOffice writter

Sadly not right now. I'm not against doing it, I just need to figure out the API

KleverNotes, KDE's Markdown note-taking and management application using Kirigami, is ready for its first release!

KleverNotes lets you create and preview Markdown notes while giving you the freedom to customize the preview from settings or using a CSS theme.

You can organize your notes however you want with a combination of categories and groups, which will be directly reflected on your system in the hierarchy of your KleverNotes storage folders.

Simply choose your storage location and you're ready to write!

You can print your notes, add small sketches and even create specific tasks for each of them, all from the application!

Notes are saved as Markdown files in your KleverNotes storage for easy access. They support the entire CommonMark specification with extensive syntax. KleverNotes also introduces a small collection of opt-in “plugins” to extend basic markdown functionality, such as: code highlighting, note linking, quick emoji, PUML.

Special thanks

I would like to thank Carl Schwan who helped me through the incubator process, has set up the repository and the various KDE related things, fixed my code, and answered my many questions. The project would not be where it is without him.

History

I started KleverNotes as a small personnal project to learn QML and C++ and motivate myself to take notes in class. After posting a few screenshots of my progress on Reddit, people seemed pretty interested, which inspired me to continue and redouble my efforts. Once it was added to KDE, my motivation grew even more, my final goal is now to be able to offer a simple alternative to QOwnNotes using Kirigami. (I actively use KleverNotes in each of my classes now btw 😬)

Final note

This release doesn't add anything special compared to my last update, just UI tweaks from Carl, which makes the app better looking. I just wanted to get things moving in order to officially push more updates in the future. A big one is in the works and should arrive soon once my exams are finished.


As always, I'll be more than happy to answer your questions, discuss potential features, or hear your point of view 😉

You (and everyone else) were previously able to vote on bug. However, devs doesn't really care about those vote. A bug was not prioritize because of it's amount of vote which was confusing for some users. So, vote was disable entirely, hence why you receive those email

Theme are related to Desktop Environnement/Window Manager (KDE, Gnome, BSPWM,...) not distro

So as long as the theme is available for yours, you can get it on Debian or Arch it doesn't matter 😉

Edit : yum13241 makes a good point
