Knowte

Knowte is a note taking application that allows you to quickly and easily organize and find your notes. This version is written using Electron, Angular and Typescript. The original Knowte (for Windows), which is written in WPF and C#, remains available here.

Pacman installation notes

The pacman package contains a dependency to package libappindicator-sharp, which is no longer distributed with Arch Linux. I cannot remove this dependency for now, because it is an issue in electron-builder (the packaging tool which is used in this project). It is, however, possible to install Knowte on Arch Linux or Manjaro using this command (replace x.y.z with the correct version number):

$ sudo pacman -U Knowte-x.y.z.pacman --assume-installed libappindicator-sharp
