For those not interested in electron, you can give VNote a try: https://tamlok.github.io/vnote


It is something like MDWiki but with the capability to read the index file `_vnote.json` of VNote, which enables us to share one notebook or folder of VNote.

Its look is based on Boostrap's website.

Just click on the `Documentation` tab, you could see how simple it is to share lots of articles.

VNote's website is also built with Viki. https://tamlok.github.io/vnote

Thanks!


When I started VNote two years ago, I was just a traditional C++ player. So Qt Widgets is the choice. I think it can give me the most freedom and power.

When VNote did not support PlantUML, I used VS Code and plugin to edit and preview PlantUML. It is annoying that I need to scroll to the right element every time I update a line. Why not just hit the element corresponding to current line? So VNote provides this now.


Give it a try! :)

VNote supports Vim mode in the bone (Ctrl+J/K everywhere to navigate), Captain Mode (from the leader key of Vim), Navigation Mode (each widget shows two chars to select to focus), Universal Entry (just like CtrlP in Vim to search and jump), and so on.


VNote is a Markdown note-taking app. Markdown is excellent to hold script such as PlantUML, mermaid, and so on. So it is possible to support DSL, too.


Yes, and I really like the idea of embedding the text definitions of diagrams in my markdown files, and being able to view it and export to html/pdf. Very nice.

I'm somewhat familiar with PlantUML, BlockDiag, Flowchart.js and a couple others, but am simply wondering if there are any really outstanding ones out there that I simply don't know about. For example, maybe one that's much more aesthetically pleasing, or maybe one that built-in support for the entire AWS ecosystem.

I recently saw a nice AWS diagrammer, but it's drag & drop, I don't think it has a way to build a diagram from a text description.


This plugin just shows you the graph, right? VNote can scroll the corresponding element into view and highlight it, which is very helpful when the class diagram is really large on a small screen.

By the way, when you double click an element in the preview graph, VNote could highlight the originating definition code in the editor.

The Live Preview Tunnel, I think, is what makes VNote different from other editors. :)


So that is what "search in result" does?


Yeah! I used Vim to take md notes before writing VNote. I intended to write VNote to manage and preview the images, formulas, and charts. Indeed, VNote bollows a lot from Vim, like the leader key, split, and so on. I am satisfied about VNote for now. :)

VNote is a Vim-inspired Note-taking app. That is where "VNote" from. Give it a try :)


Thanks! Already fixed.


Qt works fine to me. It is easy to develop cross-platform apps via Qt. Utilizing QWebEngine, I am amazed at the hybrid of C++ and Javascript.
