About Brufdev Many notes
From the project's README at github.com/brufdev/many-notes. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
Many Notes is a Markdown note-taking web application designed for simplicity! Easily create or import your vaults and organize your thoughts right away.
It uses a database to power its features, but your files are also saved in the filesystem, giving you full control over your vault structure and ensuring easy access and portability.
Vaults are simply storage containers for your files, and Many Notes lets you choose to keep all your files in one vault or organize them into separate vaults.
> [!IMPORTANT] > It is recommended to run Many Notes behind a reverse proxy serving the application with HTTPS. This not only secures your traffic but also gives you access to additional features like PWA support or copying to clipboard from code blocks. Preview
