Motivation

<p> There are a lot of note-taking apps available out-there, but only a few that do it well. Well, Noto is one of them.

The goal of Noto is to be a minimalistic, free, and open-source note-taking application that meets the user's expectations, with privacy in mind.

Noto is also part of my portfolio projects. It showcases my skills regarding software development.

Support

I'm a solo developer, and Noto was one of my first projects when I started learning Software Development almost 4 years ago, and it has come a long way since then. I also have worked on various side projects, but Noto remained to this day my main focus.

So, if you'd like to see Noto remains maintained with new features, improvements, and bug fixes, I would really appreciate any support coming from my amazing community 🤗

Thank you ❤️
