CLUSTER HOSTED-MARKDOWN-NOTES · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2024-09-16

Self-hosted markdown note apps

This cluster consists of self-hosted note-taking applications that store notes as plain Markdown files, often syncing via git or running a local web server for editing and publishing. Dated entries appear sporadically from September 2024 to July 2026, with no discernible growth pattern. Traction leaders are fuzzy, foliostead, and OMN-Go, all currently showing 0 stars, indicating limited public engagement.

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.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
