2. Why we create Leanote

We have been using the popular note-taking software/service Evernote as our knowledge management tool on a daily basis. Benefited from and inspired by Evernote, we decided to create a brand-new tool that provides everything Evernote has to offer, plus a bunch of new features that Evernote failed to deliver, such as:

• A more powerful editor: Evernote's editor lacks the functionalities of document navigation, syntax based code rendering (as a programmer, syntax highlighted code rendering is a necessity), image resizing and so forth.
• Everybody loves markdown, however Evernote simply wouldn't add it despite of years' of requests from users. So we will do the favor and bring a markdown enabled editor to you, guess what, it is also rendered in real-time!
• If you a developer and miss the Vim or Emacs ways of writing, we offer you the choice of Vim and Emacs editing modes. Equipped with markdown syntax for text formatting, you will never need to touch your mouse while writing.
• We love managing knowledge and thoughts as much as sharing them, so everybody has their own note account (Evernote, Onenote, Google doc, Wiz note etc.) and social media account (Facebook, Wordpress, blogs, etc.). But why can’t those two be one? Leanote makes this first step to bridge the private note-taking and public knowledge sharing seamlessly.
• A complete and all-platform (sorry Windows phone) covering software suite: that includes Leanote Web & Server (this repository), Desktop app, iOS, Android. And they are all open source!

2. 为什么我们要创建Leanote?

我们都曾是Evernote的忠实粉丝, 一直以来Evernote都是我们日常知识管理的有效工具。于是我们决定重新创造一款工具，提供Evernote所能提供的功能，同时弥补Evernote的不足，比如：

• 功能更强的文本编辑器：Evernote的编辑器不能满足我们的需求, 不能实现文档导航、不能贴代码(格式会乱掉, 作为程序员, 代码是我们的基本需求啊), 图片不能缩放等。
• Evernote 不支持所有人都喜爱的markdown语法，于是我们为Leanote配备了一款可以实时渲染的markdown编辑器。
• 如果你是一名开发者，觉得手指怀念Vim 或 Emacs 了，那么我们还提供给你Vim 和 Emacs 写作模式，配合markdown的格式编辑，写作的时候再也不用去碰鼠标了。
• 知识积累和知识分享同样重要，因此大家都有自己的笔记账号和社交账号。但为什么这两者不能合二为一呢? Leanote 做到了将二者无缝衔接。
• 一套完整的、全平台覆盖的软件套装，包括了web、桌面、安卓、IOS设备，而且全部开源！
• 还有...
