Though it is a cool app, modern bookmark managers, reading list apps, and knowledge base apps tend to have the same functionality using web clippers etc.

It is very basic. Cannot add or remove tags after note is created. Cannot create link to other notes, only web links. Useless app
You need to install Python and pip first.
simple to use. You create an index.html and use your markdown files like normal. This is a masterpiece of a software. So simple and easy to add to any project.
It seems to have changed a lot, I need to re-test it
