usememos/memos

Memos is a self-hostable, multi-user note-taking and knowledge management system that supports rich markdown editing, media attachments, and AI-powered audio transcription. It provides a flexible backend with support for SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL databases, alongside S3-compatible storage and configurable identity providers. The system features a modern React-based frontend with a redesigned editor, unified sidebar navigation, and comprehensive API surface for managing memos, users, and instance settings.

This period focused on modernizing the application's architecture by introducing support for multiple database backends (MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite) and migrating the frontend to a modern React/Vite stack. The work also involved significant refactoring of the editor, authentication flows, and API structures to improve maintainability and user experience.
