I built a simpler Markdown app because Obsidian felt like too much - 50% off for anyone interested
Hey everyone - I recently launched the alpha of Noto, a Markdown app I built because I wanted something cleaner and less overwhelming.
I like Markdown, but I kept bouncing off bigger apps because they felt too powerful for what I actually needed day to day. I did not want a whole system to manage. I wanted a fast place to write, edit, and keep Markdown files without the app getting in the way.
So I built Noto around that idea: simple Markdown writing, a cleaner interface, and fewer distractions.
To be clear: if you love Obsidian, deep customization, plugins, and complex workflows, Noto probably is not for you. I am building this for people who want the opposite - something lighter and more straightforward.
I would really appreciate honest feedback on
