Why did you renew it now?
Hi! I 'm KZ from the Boost Note development team.
Today, the beta version of the renewed version of Boost Note, a markdown editor for developers, has been launched!
Boost Note has been used by 600k+ developers since its release and has grown with the help of the open-source community.
We received so much feedback via GitHub issues and Twitter. There was always doubt in our minds, and a question always kept popping up: "How much company resources should be devoted to Boost Note".
We also operated IssueHunt, an open-source developer support service. For this reason, Boost Note was updated by the community.
We deeply thank the people who enthusiastically submitted contributions and feature requests as well as those who helped us update Boost Note.
We have been worried for a long time. We have decided to start a Boost Note renewal project to deliver the services users really need.
I'm really happy to announce the beta release today. We will continue to develop and improve in the future.
The renewal version is also available as open-source, so I hope that everyone continue to contribute and make it into the tool that you hope for!

The official version will be released around mid-January, 2020.
In addition, the service name has been changed from "Boostnote" to "Boost Note" with the update.
This is because we anticipate releasing products of Boost series.
In addition to Boost Note's team version(We will name this Boost Wiki), we will release products to help developers. Look forward to it!
