Flatnotes-Enhanced started as a personal project—I'm not a developer, but a hobbyist who wanted to add features to Flatnotes that I needed for my own workflow. With the help of AI tools, I implemented many of these features and, after testing them extensively, decided to share the fork with the community. Many of the features now in Flatnotes-Enhanced were originally requested in the upstream Flatnotes repository, so I hoped others might find them useful too.
- I'll do my best to address issues and review feature requests within my capabilities
- I'll prioritize changes that align with the philosophy of Flatnotes and Flatnotes-Enhanced (simplicity, usability, and practicality)
- However, I cannot guarantee that every request will be implemented. Some may be technically out of reach, while others may not fit the project's direction
- If you're a developer and spot a bug or have a fix, contributions are welcome! I'd be grateful for any professional assistance
- For feature requests, I'll consider them carefully, but please understand that my time and skills are limited
Thanks for using Flatnotes-Enhanced, and I hope it serves you well! ❤️
