I’m open to discuss on here to :-)

It’s been roughly a year since it has been added to the KDE incubator, and I started working on it like 2-3 months before that, so it’s fearly new.

And thanks, I’m working hard to improve it even more ;-)

Thanks !

It’s pretty knew and still in incubator, so it’s not well known.

I started the project partially to learn markdown, and I quickly found out that this was a really cool format to deal with

Let me know what you think about it when you try it ;-)

Well, I could not have found a better argument to defend markdown. Bravo !

I can understand the use case for WYSIWYG and I have thought about it many time, but I have not found a good enough solution to integrate it into the app.

At the beginning, I made the choice to use the Markdown format for a pretty selfish reason. This was just a private project for me to learn both C++ and markdown. Now that it kind of got out of hand in that regard (I’m pretty happy about it), I really don’t regret Markdown.

Your note are stored directly on your drive in a markdown file, which mean that, if for whatever reason you want to open it outside of the app, you can, without any issue.

Now, for the editor/preview. Both can be disable (not at the same time), so you can just focus on the editor, or just focus on the final result. You can also just print your note as a Pdf, I’ve wrote some school project paper like this lol.

I hope it makes sens, it’s a bit early here, let me know if you want more info :-)

I don’t have next cloud but yes I saw their note app. This kind of wysiwyg is ok imo, and that’s what I would do if I had a solution for this issue (still searching to this day).

Nop, I grab the pdf directly from the preview which is basicly a Web page

Thanks you for wanting to give it a try, and also to explain the issue clearly without being agressive, that really nice to see.

Klevernotes is a new project (± 1 year old) and doesn’t have a package right now (working on flatpak). So it’s pretty normal to not find it in Discover nor apt.

You guessed it right, you need to compile the project to test it.

I can try to guide you on how to use kde-src build to build klevernotes, but that might be a bit overkill since it will build every dependencies (useful for devs, a bit less for user). Or I can let you know when the flatpak is ready.

louis_sch, 1 month ago

I already know this project.

At the very beginning I was doing things the same way (it’s based on an example project from QT) but it was to limiting for what I wanted to do.

Now that I have more experience I could maybe revisit the code to see if I could use it for wysiwyg. Thanks for the reminder.

louis_sch, 1 month ago

I’ll let you know when I get it to work ;-)

Great ! If I remember correctly I had issue mainly with images. It would be cool to have good support for that. I could find workaround for other thing if needed.

louis_sch, 1 month ago

I have no problem with supporting Windows. However this means that I should build it and try it on Windows, which is not my top priority when it comes to OS support right now.

Flatpak is currently giving me enough problem tbh :/

Thanks, I’m doing my best to add features.

If you have any idea let me know, currently I’m adding features that are useful for me, but I would love to help other too :-)

Thanks, I’m doing my best to improve it even more !

2 things :

• It’s fairly new
• it’s pretty complex

Let me explain a bit more :

• Since it’s that new, I’m “afraid” that this won’t last and would prefer something more future-proof, like LaTeX (won’t implement it either, see point 2)
• Klevernotes is focus on Markdown, I like to add some small “extensions” here and there, but I would like to keep the general feeling of markdown, typst or LaTeX are both to different from markdown imo.

Note : I might implement KaTeX (would be useful for my math class lol) but I didn’t made enough research about it to make it something certain

Edit : typst looks really cool and I might use it for personnal use, but not inside Klevernotes :-)

louis_sch, 6 months ago

Thanks ! And that was pretty much what I told myself when I came up with the idea, but the other markdown note taking app where to much for me :-D

louis_sch, 6 months ago

Thanks !

Basicly :

• go to your locale repo
• git checkout master
• git pull
• git checkout 'your feature branch’
• git rebase master

And then you’ll maybe have to resolve merge conflicts

They’re a ton of guide showing how to deal with this if you need

louis_sch, 7 months ago

Resolve those conflicts !
