<h1> 🚀 I Built Lunote — A Modern Open-Source Markdown Knowledge Base </h1> <p>After trying countless note-taking apps, I realized most of them shared the same problems:</p> <ul> <li>Locked ecosystems</li> <li>Subscription fatigue</li> <li>Proprietary formats</li> <li>Overly complicated workflows</li> </ul> <p>So I started building <strong>Lunote</strong>.</p> <p>A modern, open-source Markdown knowledge base designed to help you capture ideas, organize information, and build your personal knowledge system without giving up control of your data.</p> <p><a

alt="Source Mode" width="800" height="520"></a></p> <h1> 👀 Dual Editing Experience </h1> <p>Some users prefer raw Markdown.</p> <p>Others prefer a cleaner reading and editing experience.</p> <p>Lunote supports both.</p> <h3> Source Mode </h3> <p>Perfect for developers and power users.</p> <p><a
