CLUSTER HOSTED-MARKDOWN-NOTE · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-07-31

Self-hosted Markdown note apps

This cluster consists of self-hosted Markdown note-taking applications that offer a web-based editor, git-based versioning and sync, sharing, and additional features like full-text search, two-factor authentication, or blog mode. Only three dated entries exist before the index start, so the cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from. Among traction leaders, notes-widget-for-markdown has the highest activity signal with 13 stars, followed by loggo with 1 star and toishi-note with 0 stars.

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.
