## What it is
Press is a cross-platform WYSIWYG markdown note-taking editor built with Kotlin Multiplatform, inspired by Bear. It provides inline markdown preview for writing notes, with an Android app available and macOS/iOS versions in progress.

## Use cases
- take markdown notes on android with wysiwyg editing
- write notes with inline markdown preview like bear
- explore kotlin multiplatform app architecture
- minimal markdown note app for android and macos
- sync notes through git

## When to choose
- you want a bear-like minimal markdown note app on android
- you want to study a real kotlin multiplatform codebase
- you prefer plain markdown files synced via git

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, fully released cross-platform app today
- you need ios or desktop support now
- you need a permissively usable product with active maintenance and a clear license
