Many Notes
Lightweight markdown notes app with folders and tags
Many Notes is a lightweight web application for creating and managing personal notes in a clean browser UI. It focuses on fast Markdown writing, simple organization, and easy deployment for running your own private notes space.
Key Features:
- Markdown editor for writing and formatting notes
- Notes organization with folders/collections
- Tagging support to categorize and filter notes
- Search to quickly find notes by content/title
- Responsive web UI intended for everyday note-taking
Use Cases:
- Personal knowledge base for tech notes, snippets, and documentation
- Journaling or daily notes with simple categorization via tags
- Team-internal scratchpad for lightweight documentation (small groups)
Limitations and Considerations:
- Collaboration features (real-time co-editing, comments, permissions) appear limited compared to full collaborative suites
- Feature set is intentionally minimal; advanced PKM workflows (graph view, backlinks) may not be available
Many Notes is a good fit if you want a minimal, web-based Markdown notebook with basic organization and search. It prioritizes simplicity and an easy workflow over heavyweight knowledge-management features.
