In early November 2023, we achieved a major milestone - Memos had reached 20,000 stars on GitHub. This achievement is a result of our continuous efforts and the support of our community.

In today's digital age, many of us use multiple devices, and it's crucial to keep our data synchronized across all of them. Whether it's your work laptop, personal computer. One excellent solution for this is GitHub, a platform initially designed for version control and code collaboration.
