Markdown syntax support is not something you find in mainstream apps (most non tech people use WYSIWYG editors which is also provided). Code syntax highlighting as well and a lot of other things in the roadmap that I will be happy to share (mentioned in github but will uploaded in the main website as well).

Also and most important: created and used for everyday actions by a senior software engineer (myself) with 12+ years of experience in the industry.

What would you expect to see? You can openly suggest things which can be added to the roadmap.

Not true at all. Unless you define mainstream as the Old Granny who doesn't even know how a mouse works.

syntax highlighting doesn't make it for software-guys. That's something you get for free with most editors these days anyway.

So there is nothing...

A tool dedicated for a specific trade, should offer the tools used by this trade. Syntax highlighting is not what makes a software developer. Development is about planning software, analyzing and discovering software, writting software and building software. So any funcitonallity for this, besides the basic features anyone has, would justify calling it "for software engineers".

Things like creating diagrams, navigating code, creating & tangling code, executing code, customizing the environment... At least to be able to write plugins or call external scripts for doing something with a document is the the least I except with a dedicated tool for this trade.


Well thank you for your suggestions, there are some really good ideas, I will do a research about the functionalities you mention and update the roadmap accordingly. Some things can be provided by third party integrations, I guess there is no need to re-invent the wheel.


Sorry about that, I am currently updating it and I will upload some questions the following days.

There's an open source instance you can self-host on your home server or work, but there's also a cloud version.

About obsidian.md now, it's a great, smart and extensible piece of software but its type of usage is slightly different from wreeto. I don't know If obsidian.md has a cloud or a server version to be honest. Plus the roadmaps of the two (will upload wreeto's as well) is different.
