## What it is
TakeNote is a web-based, plain-text note-taking app for developers with markdown preview, syntax highlighting, and an IDE-like editing experience. It stores notes in browser local storage (no database) and offers an optional self-hosted version that syncs notes to a private GitHub repository.

## Use cases
- take plain text notes in markdown without WYSIWYG clutter
- write notes with syntax highlighting and multi-cursor editing
- export all my notes as markdown in a zip
- back up notes automatically to a private GitHub repository
- search and organize notes into categories with drag and drop
- use a keyboard-driven note app with no tracking or analytics

## When to choose
- you want a developer-focused markdown note app with no database or cloud lock-in
- you prefer plain text notes stored locally with easy markdown export
- you want to self-host and sync notes to your own GitHub repo

## When to avoid
- you need cloud sync across devices out of the box
- you want rich WYSIWYG editing or mobile apps
- you need collaborative or multi-user note taking
