What is Notula?
Notula is a WYSIWYG Markdown editor for documentation files stored in git repositories, offering Google Docs-like collaboration features (comments, threading, real-time updates) while keeping files as plain .md in your repo. Designed for teams practicing 'docs as code' who want to edit and collaborate on documentation without learning git, diffs, or code editors.

Frequently asked questions about Notula
Do I need an account or internet connection?
No. Notula works with no network and no vendor account. Files stay in your git repository.
Can AI agents use the same files?
Yes. Agents read, write, and review plain .md natively in the same repository.
What git providers does it support?
GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, SSH keys, Git LFS, and Submodules.
Do comments stay in the repository?
Yes. Threads are committed to the repository next to the document, so they arrive with clones and outlive account deletions.
