CLUSTER CLOUD-MARKDOWN-NOTES · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2023-09-10
Markdown note apps with sync
This cluster consists of markdown-focused note-taking and editing tools that emphasize cloud sync, often via Nextcloud, ownCloud, WebDAV, or Dropbox, and range from desktop apps to PWAs. The dated history shows a single entry in 2015, then a gap until late 2023, followed by roughly monthly entries through mid-2026. The clear traction leader is note-bridge-desktop with 62 stars, while other members show no star activity.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
