The Spote editor is a WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) markdown editor — you can write in plain markdown or use the toolbar to format text visually. Both modes stay in sync, so you can switch between them at any time without losing your work.

​
Creating a note

Click the New note button in the top bar to open a blank editor. Type a title in the title field at the top, then write your content in the body below. The body accepts full markdown syntax.

​
Supported formatting

The editor supports the following markdown elements:
Use # for H1, ## for H2, and ### for H3.
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
Wrap text with ** for bold and * for italic.
**bold text**
*italic text*

| Column A | Column B |
| -------- | -------- |
| Value 1  | Value 2  |
Fenced code blocks with a language tag get syntax highlighting.
```python
def hello():
    print("Hello, world!")
```
Use - or * for unordered lists. Use 1., 2., etc. for ordered lists.
- Item one
- Item two

1. First step
2. Second step
Paste an image from your clipboard, drag and drop a file, or use standard markdown image syntax:
![Alt text](https://example.com/image.png)
Write a fenced code block with the language set to mermaid to render a diagram inline.
```mermaid
graph TD
    A[Start] --> B[End]
```

​
Tagging

Write #tagname anywhere in the note body to tag the note. Tags are extracted automatically as you type and appear as chips below the editor in real time. You don’t need to add tags in a separate field — just include them naturally in your text. 
This is a note about my #saas idea and #pricing strategy.

​
Buckets

Buckets are folders for organizing your notes. Use the bucket selector dropdown in the toolbar to choose an existing bucket or create a new one inline. If you don’t select a bucket, the note is saved to Inbox by default.

​
Attachments

Paste an image directly from your clipboard or drag a file into the editor body. Spote uploads the file automatically and inserts it as standard markdown image syntax at the cursor position: 
![filename.png](/api/files/your-user-id/uuid.png)
You can also use the markdown ![]() syntax directly if you have a URL.

​
Raw mode

Click the WYSIWYG / Markdown toggle button in the toolbar to switch between the visual editor and raw source mode. In raw mode you edit the underlying markdown text directly — useful for pasting content, bulk editing, or working with complex syntax the visual editor doesn’t expose.

​
Saving

Click Save in the toolbar to store your note. The button is active only when you have unsaved changes. If someone else has edited the same shared note while you were working on it, Spote detects the conflict when you save and shows a warning. You can choose to Load current version (discard your changes and load what’s in the database) or Keep my changes (dismiss the warning and save again to overwrite).
Add rich context with tags and a specific bucket — Spote’s semantic search works better the more descriptive your notes are.
