If you have a KDE dev account and want to contribute, feel free to do so But, obviously, if you want to work on a new feature, it would be better to first talk to me to see if this align with the general idea of the project
Donation, no need for money, unless you really love the project and absolutely want to give something to me. I’m just a student who want to share it’s work to make it better :-D
Yes please, test the app, I’m always looking for constructive criticism !
And moral, I’m good, but thanks for asking !
I already know this project.
At the very beginning I was doing things the same way (it’s based on an example project from QT) but it was to limiting for what I wanted to do.
Now that I have more experience I could maybe revisit the code to see if I could use it for wysiwyg. Thanks for the reminder.
I can understand the use case for WYSIWYG and I have thought about it many time, but I have not found a good enough solution to integrate it into the app.
At the beginning, I made the choice to use the Markdown format for a pretty selfish reason. This was just a private project for me to learn both C++ and markdown. Now that it kind of got out of hand in that regard (I’m pretty happy about it), I really don’t regret Markdown.
Your note are stored directly on your drive in a markdown file, which mean that, if for whatever reason you want to open it outside of the app, you can, without any issue.
Now, for the editor/preview. Both can be disable (not at the same time), so you can just focus on the editor, or just focus on the final result. You can also just print your note as a Pdf, I’ve wrote some school project paper like this lol.
I hope it makes sens, it’s a bit early here, let me know if you want more info :-)
No, there’s currently nothing similar to richtext editing.
You edit your text inside the editor and it is renderer in the preview. You can toggle on/off one or the other.
I tried to make things easier with the editor toolbar. You can easily create table from it through a dialog similar to the one from richtext editor such as LibreOffice writter
A “WYSIWYG like” editor is currently in progress (next big update)
I don’t want to go full richtext mode a la LibreOffice writter, it will be something similar as Marktext instead
You will still see the Markdown tag (e.g: the “#” in your heading) but with the possibility to style them in a way that make them pretty much dissapear when your note editing that part, and some nice color and font size for the important part, that would pretty much mimic the preview style ;-)
So cool to see this one coming back from the dead ! Well done ;-)
