Lumen

Free, open-source note-taking app that sync with markdown files in your GitHub repository

@mohamedakhalik @lumen_notes Lumen’s core principles are:

- File over app
- Anything added dilutes everything else

Glad to hear that’s resonating with you :)

@lumen_notes is everything I've dreamed of in a notesapp. Thank you

Pro tip: You can use @lumen_notes as a memory manager for @openclaw

I asked my clawdbot to make its workspace a git repo and push to GitHub whenever it updates its memory files

Now I can open that repo in Lumen to browse and edit memory files with a nice UI

Daily pages are a core part of @lumen_notes and now there's a new way to navigate between them...

Month layout! 🗓️

Found one of the best notes app @lumen_notes randomly.

- Syncs to a private git repo, so you own the data in way its actually reusable.
- Super minimal (exactly how I like it)

Made by @colebemis btw

Just implemented this scroll masking CSS animation in @lumen_notes and it feels soo good

One of my favorite tiny details in @lumen_notes: The icons adapt to your theme

Default → soft rounded corners
E-ink → sharp corners (to limit aliasing)

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

@veewpe Genuine question: at what scope is the graph view helpful for you? I (@colebemis) have ~3000 notes in Lumen and the graph view of that is very hard to parse

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

@davepikapage In the second example, you didn't create a new note. So when you clicked that link, Lumen prompted you to create a new note with the string you typed in as the note's id.

We don't have 404s in Lumen. If you try to go to a note that doesn't exist, it will allow you to create it.

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

@davepikapage Ah, I see how this is confusing.

In the first example, you created a new note and Lumen automatically gave it a unique id.

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

@davepikapage You can already do this :) Try typing `no:tags` into the search bar

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

@davepikapage @colebemis Noted. Thank you! I'll give this more thought

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

@davepikapage @devonrifkin We have an open issue for that: https://t.co/lO87lxw3c5

It hasn't bubbled up to the top of the priority list because it's a little trickier to implement

[Lumen @lumen_notes]

✨ QoL improvement: Lumen now highlights matching tags, links, and dates in search results.

Thanks for the suggestion, @devonrifkin!
