mdzk works with plain text files in an extended version of the well-defined and widely used CommonMark Markdown specification. The included extensions are made to make your note-taking process as simple, readable and quick as possible. Everything is compatible with the flavor of Markdown used by the hugely popular editor, Obsidian.
Using Markdown ensures that your notes are future-proof beyond the lifetime of mdzk itself. They remain human-readable, can be version controlled and are editable in close to every text editor there is. mdzk gives you a local web server with live updating, which makes editing a breeze, no matter what editor you prefer.
The core principle behind mdzk is based on the Zettelkasten note-taking method. An mdzk will help you link your knowledge to discover connections you might never have found otherwise.
Each internal link has an automatically generated "backlink", which helps you navigate your web of notes. mdzk also sports a powerful search and a full index, covering the whole vault.
