## Why we create leanote
To be honest, our inspiration comes from evernote, and we use evenote to manage our knowledge everyday. But we find that:
* Evernote's editor can't meet our needs, it hasn't document navigation, can't put our codes(as a programmer, put codes is the basic needs), can't resize images...)
* We like markdown, but evernote don't support it.
* We want to public our knowledge, so we have our blog(such as wordpress) and evernote, but why can't be the one!
