Hello,

Your project looks very promising, but I'm currently using https://obsidian.md/ for the notes. It would be great not to use any electron based software, but to do so Marknote need a few enhancements. 
1) Git support: the notes should be easy accesable on disk, and it should be a command 'commit all & push'
2) the notes should be structured into the tree-like hierarchy (seems to be a corollary of previous issue)
3) Search by #tags

This one is already done. Notes are stored as regular .md files on the disk, just like obsidian does. You don't have control over _where_, though. They're located in "<Your documents path>/Notes/<name of your notebook>" (e.g. /home/username/Documents/Notes/Notebook1).

Looks like you can change now the location of the library using the settings.

I actually meant that it should be done from the GUI interface. Not all future users of notes programs use git daily.

Yes, it works. But when I specify a directory I expect that all directories and markdown files will be listed on the left pane. At the moment, .md files are not listed. They should.
Also color scheme looks weird https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kakadu/kakadu.github.io/refs/heads/master/blogitems/Marknote1.png

Also, search is not working for me. Maybe it searches in the names of documents instead of documents' contents?
