A live editor in the terminal: the line you are on stays Markdown, the rest renders

Add it to your cloud
$ cm quill add notes
Or, as an administrator, open Administration → Quills in the app and choose Notes. Either way your cloud shows you everything below and waits for your yes.
Standard. The installer offers Notes when you set up a new cloud, so you may have it already. How installing works

Datamodels
The kinds of data it works with. Records belong to the people who write them, not to the quill: removing it leaves every one where it is.

Comes with
Notes from datasets/welcome.toml for each person, the first time they open Notes.welcome

None. Everything it does is declared in quill.toml and run by your cloud itself.
In its own words
A Quill for Cloudmorrow: your
notes, in Markdown, in folders, with pictures — on the phone, the web app,
the terminal and the command line.
A note is a title and a page of Markdown. Folders hold notes and other
folders.
Pictures go in a note by pasting, dropping or picking them, and show where
they are.
Search finds a note by its name or by any line in it.
Every note is a real file in your notes folder on the server, sealed at
rest — the same file WebDAV, cm note and your assistant's notes tools
reach. Removing this Quill takes the tab away, never a note.
What it adds to your Cloudmorrow
