## What it is
Neuron is a command-line application for managing plain-text Markdown notes in Zettelkasten style and publishing them as an auto-generated static website. It is written in Haskell and has been superseded by its successor project, Emanote.

## Use cases
- manage zettelkasten notes in markdown files
- publish my notes as a static website
- link notes with wiki-style syntax and tags
- generate a knowledge base site from plain text
- host my digital garden on github pages
- search and query my zettelkasten from the command line

## When to choose
- you want a stable, mature Zettelkasten tool with a static-site publishing workflow
- you prefer plain markdown files and editor integrations (emacs, vim, vscode)
- you want to publish notes via GitHub Pages with minimal setup
- you already use Nix or Docker for tooling

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - use Emanote, neuron's successor
- you need a graphical note-taking app with live editing
- you need real-time rendering or dynamic features beyond static sites
- you want active development and new features

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: static-site-generator, markdown, cli, search-engine
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, documentation, text-editors
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: zettelkasten, note-taking, plain-text-notes, knowledge-management, superseded-by-emanote, haskell, linux, macos
