General information.

This is simple, lightweight and open source application to create and organize everyday notes. Notes stored in Markdown format and shown as html. New html page create if it does not exists or corresponding markdown page has later modification time stamp.

This program use external editor. Suitable almost any editor. At this time only editors with FileProvider support suitable, for example: QuickEdit Text Editor - Writer, Code Editor or Acode editor - Android code editor. (Because Google reqired target API level minimum 26. It require using FileProvider witth content:// data scheme.)

Pelican CMS meta information support can be enabled in preferences screen.

I design this application to my needs and use it everyday. I will be glad if this application meets anybody needs also.

Note about source under android/support directory

I dont want to add whole Android support library to my project because it will increase application size to more then 600 kB. For application with original size about 200 kB it is wasting of resource. To solve this problem required fragments of source from Android support library included to my source directly.

Support library sources obtained there:

git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/support/
