-## 2. Why we created Leanote
-To be honest, our inspiration comes from Evernote. We use Evernote to manage our knowledge everyday. But we find that:
-* Evernote's editor can't meet our needs, it does not have document navigation, it does not render code properly (as a programmer, syntax highlighted code rendering is a basic need), it cannot resize images and so forth
-* We like markdown, but Evernote does not support it.
-* We want to share our knowledge, so all of us have our blogs (e.g. on Wordpress) and our Evernote accounts, but why can not those two be one!
+## 2. Why we create Leanote
+
+We have been using the popular note-taking software/service `Evernote` as our knowledge management tool on a daily basis. Benefited from and inspired by `Evernote`, we decided to create a brand-new tool that provides everything `Evernote` has to offer, plus a bunch of new features that `Evernote` failed to deliver, such as:
+
+* A more powerful editor: `Evernote`'s editor lacks the functionalities of **document navigation**, **syntax based code rendering** (as a programmer, syntax highlighted code rendering is a necessity), **image resizing** and so forth.
+* Everybody loves *markdown*, however `Evernote` simply wouldn't add it despite of years' of requests from users. So we will do the favor and bring a *markdown* enabled editor to you, guess what, it is also rendered in real-time!
+* We love managing knowledge and thoughts as much as sharing them, so everybody has their own note account (`Evernote`, `Onenote`, `Google doc`, `Wiz note` etc.) and social media account (`Facebook`, `Wordpress`, blogs, etc.). But why can’t those two be one? Leanote makes this first step to bridge the private note-taking and public knowledge sharing seamlessly.
+* A complete and all-platform (sorry Windows phone) covering software suite: that includes Leanote Web & Server (this repository), [Desktop app](https://github.com/leanote/desktop-app), [iOS](https://github.com/leanote/leanote-ios), [Android](https://github.com/leanote/leanote-android). And they are all open source!

 ## 2. 为什么我们要创建Leanote?
-说实话, 我们曾是evernote的忠实粉丝, 但是我们也发现evernote的不足:
-* evernote的编辑器不能满足我们的需求, 不能贴代码(格式会乱掉, 作为程序员, 代码是我们的基本需求啊), 图片不能缩放.
-* 我们是markdown的爱好者, 可是evernote竟然没有.
-* 我们也想将知识公开, 所以我们有自己的博客, 如wordpress, 但为什么这两者不能合二为一呢?
+我们都曾是`Evernote`的忠实粉丝, 一直以来`Evernote`都是我们日常知识管理的有效工具。于是我们决定重新创造一款工具，提供`Evernote`所能提供的功能，同时弥补`Evernote`的不足，比如：
+* 功能更强的文本编辑器：`Evernote`的编辑器不能满足我们的需求, 不能实现文档导航、不能贴代码(格式会乱掉, 作为程序员, 代码是我们的基本需求啊), 图片不能缩放等。
+* `Evernote` 不支持所有人都喜爱的markdown语法，于是我们为Leanote配备了一款可以实时渲染的markdown编辑器。
+* 知识积累和知识分享同样重要，因此大家都有自己的笔记账号和社交账号。但为什么这两者不能合二为一呢? Leanote 做到了将二者无缝衔接。
+* 一套完整的、全平台覆盖的软件套装，包括了web、桌面、安卓、IOS设备，而且全部开源！
