Metion: Markdown Notes vs MWeb - Markdown Writing, Notes Usage & Stats
Metion is a notebook tool that focuses on the writing experience, uses Markdown as basic text syntax.
## Build Your Own Knowledge Base
Metion 2.0 brings a new feature named "Knowledge Base", the plain text syntax, then becomes mindmap trees, or connected as a network...
## The Writing Experience is So Important
Our goal is to create a great writing experience, specially for iPadOS, although it's not easy.
Metion provides a relatively complete keyboard shortcuts support. After a keyboard connected, both iPad and iPhone can archive a huge improvement in writing experience.
We also have redesigned the "Zen Mode" on iPad, a more focusing writing mode. It is very very beautiful, choosing a suitable background image, selecting the white noise you like in Zen Mode, and the irrelevant UI elements are hidden. Writing is a pleasure, writing is talking to the world, writing is your Zen.
## Data Freedom, Open Filesystem, Git Built-in
Metion based on the open filesystem, no need to create another new format for storing data. An article is a plain text file, and the images in the article are also under a certain folder.
Data freedom and open filesystems allow us to synchronize data across devices using iCloud or Git. If you have a higher requirement for data security, you can also make a backup very quickly by copying the entire folder (working directory).
One more thing, Metion has a built-in support named "history version" that provides a little more reliability for your documents.
**Also, if you know how to use Git, you can try Git to sync. Yes! We have the powerful Git as a built-in feature! **
## Optimized for iPad Pro, Also for iPhone
We tried the best to make Metion optimized for iPad Pro, when writing on iPad Pro by Metion, the iPad is a really more productive device.
Metion is also optimized for the iPhone too. In recent years, most of the new iPhones have notch at the top of screen. Metion does not simply avoid the safe area, but makes a lot of technical efforts to apply every pixel on the screen as far as possible. If using the visual theme of "Dark", the notch sometimes look like disappeared, like the next generation of full-screen phone comes.
## The Exporting of Metion
If using Metion to export as PDF, we suggest the theme of PDF can be set as "Printer" in Settings Panel. If there is a real printer connected in current local network, just print directly, it will be pretty when words on the real paper.
Document in Metion can be exported as image, which is optimized for mobile device (iPhone). We can set text and QR-Code signature at the end of exported image. Send it to friends through some social Apps. The beautiful layout of text can highlight the value of your words.
Metion can analyze the structure of current article automatically, then export it as "Mindmap" with one tap only.

MWeb was born in 2015. It is a writing, note-taking and publishing app focusing on Markdown. If you like Markdown or text writing, We highly recommend you try MWeb.
MWeb is composed of a complete and stable editor, a Folders mode for managing documents, a Library mode specifically for notes, and a document publishing and sharing function set, with a total of four modules. The characteristic of MWeb's software is that it selects the best technology for each platform. It is built using AppKit on macOS and UIKit on iOS/iPadOS. The following is a brief introduction to these four modules. If you are interested, you can continue reading.
## Editor features
Here are some of the key features of an editor:
* Base on CommonMark syntax and GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) extended syntax, supporting TOC, tables, code blocks, math formulas, task lists, footnotes, etc.
* Display the text of the Markdown document completely without any deletion.
* Images can be displayed directly in the Editor, supporting jpg, png, gif, webP, HEIC and etc.
* Math formulas, mermaid and Echarts drawings can be previewed in the editor.
* You can set your favorite font or multiple fonts for writing.
* You can choose from 11 light themes and 21 dark themes, and also support custom themes.
* There is a menu to facilitate the input of Markdown syntax, and a special Markdown syntax keyboard is also provided in iOS.
* Convenient tools for generating and formatting Markdown table syntax.
* You can view the outline and word count of Markdown documents.
* Markdown documents can be previewed and support Editor & Preview mode.
## Folders mode
The first requirement of Markdown is to create and edit Markdown documents, and MWeb's Folders mode does this. It supports the following features:
* Create Markdown, Textbundle documents, or simply open them for editing.
* Introduce a folder with Markdown documents into the Folders mode of MWeb. MWeb will provide practical functions such as management of Markdown documents, full-text search, copy and paste to insert images, and unified storage of referenced images.
* iPadOS/iOS version supports Dropbox folders.
## Library mode
Markdown is so easy to use, so taking notes is also in great demand. Of course, you can use Folders mode and introduce a folder to take notes, which is also very nice and easy to share. So why do we still create a separate Library mode? Mainly, the Library mode has the following features:
* There is no need to consider the file name, title and storage location, Just create note and writing.
* Use category trees and tags to manage notes. A single note can be classified into multiple categories, making it easier to set categories for notes.
* Organizing notes is more convenient. When moving categories and notes, renaming categories will not affect each other. You don't need to worry about incorrect associations between notes, incorrect reference location of images and attachments in notes, etc.
* Complete cross-device synchronization using iCloud CloudKit technology.
* The Library follows the "local first" principle and is stored in a folder, very easy for backup. Even if you use iCloud sync, your Library can be completely backed up locally.
* Export the entire category of notes to PDF or Epub e-book.
* The macOS version of MWeb Pro also supports generating static blogs from categories. The generated blog fully supports math formulas, mermaid, echarts etc. Allows you to create your own blog in a very simple way.
## More features...
* Publish documents or notes to Wordpress, Metaweblog API, Evernote, Blogger, Tumblr, Yuque, sspai Matrix, Ghost and Medium.
* Upload images in documents or notes to imgur, Qiniu, SM.MS, Tencent COS, Youpai, Alibaba OSS, custom API, etc.
* Export documents or notes to PDF (with Table of Contents in macOS version).
* Export documents or notes to Epub or image.
