Quilly – A simple, open-source personal knowledge management app

I wanted a simple note-taking/personal knowledge management app. Existing tools like Notion, Obsidian etc. felt too complicated for me. So, I created Quilly - a straightforward, fast, and private note-taking app. Here's what it offers: - It's open source. - It uses Markdown, so you're not locked in with a specific platform. - Your notes are saved locally. - You can tag your notes. - It supports code highlighting.
