Leanote

1. Introduction

Leanote, not just a notebook!

Some Features

Knowledge: Manage your knowledge in leanote. leanote contains the tinymce editor and a markdown editor, just enjoy yourself writing.
Share: Share your knowledge with your friends in leanote. You can invite your friends to join your notepad in the cloud so you can share knowledge.
Cooperation: Collaborate with friends to improve your skills.
Blog: Publish your knowledge and make leanote your blog.

To be honest, our inspiration comes from Evernote. We use Evernote to manage our knowledge everyday. But we find that:

Evernote's editor can't meet our needs, it does not have document navigation, it does not render code properly (as a programmer, syntax highlighted code rendering is a basic need), it cannot resize images and so forth
We like markdown, but Evernote does not support it.
We want to share our knowledge, so all of us have our blogs (e.g. on Wordpress) and our Evernote accounts, but why can not those two be one!

More information about how to install leanote please see:

Or you can clone Leanote bin repository (Recommend)

Leanote is written in go using revel and MongoDB. Thus, you need to first install MongoDB.

For more tips please have a look at our wiki

The mongodb data is in [PATH_TO_LEANOTE]/mongodb_backup/leanote_install_data

$> mongorestore -h localhost -d leanote --directoryperdb PATH_TO_LEANOTE/mongodb_backup/leanote_install_data

The initial database contains two users:

user2 username: admin, password: abc123 (administrator)
user3 username: demo, password: demo@leanote.com (this user is for demo)

Modify [PATH_TO_LEANOTE]/conf/app.conf. Available configuration options are:

mongodb required

db.host=localhost
db.port=27017
db.dbname=leanote
db.username=
db.password=

app.secret required important The secret key used for cryptographic operations (revel.Sign).

FOR SECURITY, YOU MUST CHANGE IT!!

For more infomation please see app/app.conf and the revel manuals

$> cd PATH_TO_LEANOTE/bin
$> sudo sh run.sh
