Based on you use of Obsidian this might change
If you don't use some crazy Obsidian plugin the biggest change is the folder structure, which wil change to be less strict in the future
It's normal! I want people to try it out and give me some feedback ;)
Yes that's pretty much the plan ;-)
And math support is wanted, I just need to check what would be best to do it
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
"WYSIWYG like" editor is the next step
Not full richtext mode, but something similar to Marktext
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
Thanks you !
I want it to look nice and easy to use while keeping some power under the hood ;-)
Just to be sure
Create an issue with the list sample so I can try it out by myself, it will be easier to debug ;-)
You make a good case for it! But one thing that I also have to consider is the ease of implementing this into my C++ parser...
Right now I don't see how that would fit into the app to be honest, I'm not fully against the idea, but it would have to be nicelly integrated and I don't see how it would be (mostly in terms of UI/UX)
There's also KDE sonnet, I will have to look further into this, but that will most certainly be a future addition to the project!
If you have a KDE dev account and want to contribute, feel free to do so But, obviously, if you want to work on a new feature, it would be better to first talk to me to see if this align with the general idea of the project
Donation, no need for money, unless you really love the project and absolutely want to give something to me. I'm just a student who want to share it's work to make it better :-D
Yes please, test the app, I'm always looking for constructive criticism !
And moral, I'm good, but thanks for asking !
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
RSS feed looks good but to be honest I'm completly clueless about it, never used one
I'm posting detailled update on KDE Discuss (see the "last update" link in this post) when I've made enough progress in my opinion I think you can search them using the "klevernotes" tag
And I make Lemmy and Reddit post linking to those each time
Edit: and if you want to ask question, my dm on those platform are always open, or there's a Matrix channel (not super active, but I check it every day), the link is in the Readme of the project
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 ;-)
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 Version 1.0 official release
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 😉

Klevernotes: Flatpak (Nighlty version) !
Klevernotes is now available as a flatpak (Nightly version) through KDE cdn.
To install it, simply run:
flatpak install --user --or-update https://cdn.kde.org/flatpak/klevernotes-nightly/org.kde.klevernotes.flatpakref
This is based on the following tutorial.
For more info and news see: KDE Discuss post
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 :/
