# Leanote [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/leanote/leanote.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/leanote/leanote) [![Gitter](https://badges.gitter.im/Join%20Chat.svg)](https://gitter.im/leanote/leanote?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge) ## 1. Introduction Leanote, not just a notepad! ![leanote.png](leanote.png "") **Highlighted Features** * Note-taking made easy: Leanote incorporates a clean and intuitive interface, the `tinymce` rich-text editor and a dedicated *markdown* editor, making your writing/typing more efficient and enjoyable. For more advanced users, we even offer `Vim` and `Emacs` writing modes to help boost your writing speed to another level. * Knowledge management: The flexible and versatile notebook-note-tagging system of Leanote makes it an ideal tool for knowledge management. * Sharing: Share your knowledge, thoughts and experiences with friends via Leanote. Invite your friends to join your notepad in the cloud. * Cooperating: Collaborate with colleagues to improve skills, fertilize ideas and brainstorm on the fly. * Blogging: Publish your work and make Leanote your personal blog. **Other Features** * Markdown syntax support * Distraction-free writing mode * `Vim` and `Emacs` editing mode * Export notes to PDFs * Batch note operation * Customizable themes for blogging ## 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! * If you a developer and miss the `Vim` or `Emacs` ways of writing, we offer you the choice of `Vim` and `Emacs` editting modes. Equipped with *markdown* syntax for text formatting, you will never need to touch your mouse while writing. * 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! * ...... ## 3.

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！ * 还有... ## 3. 获取Leanote Leanote云笔记产品包括: Leanote Web & Server(即本仓库), 桌面客户端, IOS, android. 4端全部开源! 如果想试用我们的产品，欢迎在 https://leanote.com 上注册, Leanote团队为你提供稳定可靠的服务。 担心服务厂商如何处理你的个人数据吗？你可以下载Leanote安装在自己的服务器上, 通过Leanote客户端连接与自建服务同步数据。 这里详细整理了Leanote二进版和Leanote开发版的安装教程, 请移步至: * Leanote二进制详细安装教程: * [Windows](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/wiki/Leanote%E4%BA%8C%E8%BF%9B%E5%88%B6%E7%89%88%E5%AE%89%E8%A3%85%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B---Windows) * [Mac, Linux](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/wiki/leanote%E4%BA%8C%E8%BF%9B%E5%88%B6%E7%89%88%E8%AF%A6%E7%BB%86%E5%AE%89%E8%A3%85%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B) * Leanote源码详细安装教程: * [Windows](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/wiki/Leanote-%E6%BA%90%E7%A0%81%E7%89%88%E8%AF%A6%E7%BB%86%E5%AE%89%E8%A3%85%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B----Windows) * [Mac, Linux](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/wiki/leanote%E5%BC%80%E5%8F%91%E7%89%88%E8%AF%A6%E7%BB%86%E5%AE%89%E8%A3%85%E6%95%99%E7%A8%8B) ## 4. 相关文档 更多详细的安装说明、问题处理和配置说明文档，请查看 [wiki](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/wiki)。 ## 5. 如何对Leanote进行二次开发 如果您有兴趣基于Leanote二次开发，请查看 [How-to-develop-Leanote](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/wiki/How-to-develop-leanote-%E5%A6%82%E4%BD%95%E5%BC%80%E5%8F%91leanote)。 ## 6. 贡献者 在此对向Leanote贡献力量的[贡献者们](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/graphs/contributors) 表示感谢。Leanote因有你们而更完美! ## 7. 加入我们 欢迎提交[pull requests](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/pulls) 到Leanote。 有任何问题或建议, 请先搜索[issue](https://github.com/leanote/leanote/issues)区是否已经有解决方法。如果没有，欢迎提交新issue。 Leanote还有很多问题, 如果你喜欢它, 欢迎加入我们一起完善Leanote。 ## 8. 捐赠 如果您喜欢我们的产品，请考虑支持我们, [捐赠Leanote](http://leanote.org/#donate)。 感谢[这些捐赠者](http://leanote.leanote.com/post/leanote-donation-list), 谢谢你们的鼓励, Leanote会一直坚持! ## 9. 其它相关项目 * [Leanote Desktop App](https://github.com/leanote/desktop-app), [下载地址](http://app.leanote.com) * [Leanote iOS](https://github.com/leanote/leanote-ios), [从App Store下载](https://itunes.apple.com/zn/app/leanote/id1022302858?mt=8) * [Leanote Android](https://github.com/leanote/leanote-android), 开发阶段 欢迎加入我们! ## 联系&加入我们 * Email: leanote@leanote.com * [Leanote 社区](http://bbs.leanote.com) * QQ群: 326073529, 256076853, 158716820 * [Leanote Google Group](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/leanote)
