Key Features

- Notebook/notes tree for hierarchical organization
- Rich WYSIWYG editor with inline todo items and Markdown import
- JWT-based authentication and role-based access control for multi-user environments
- Trash (soft-delete) support and dark/light UI themes
- Cross-platform client implemented with Dart/Flutter and a backend in Go
- Container-friendly deployment with Docker artifacts
Use Cases
- Personal knowledge base and note organization with hierarchical notebooks
- Team note-taking and collaborative task lists with access controls and real-time updates
- Managing project todos and meeting notes with inline tasks and import/export of Markdown content
Limitations and Considerations

- Production readiness depends on deployment choices and configuration; additional hardening and backup strategies may be needed for critical use
