Yep, although there are people who would change the license or ignore it, and hope that no one notices.

Your project looks cool! Always interesting to see how other people tackle note-taking. Thanks for keeping it open source.
I'd encourage people to check out Notabase as well, which offers an alternative vision and UI which some people might like better. You can use it hosted, or self-host it yourself -- the code is open source [2].
Best of luck with MdSilo! :)

I started it because I wanted a note-taking app for networked thought / Zettelkasten that is easy to use for the average user (not the average Hacker News reader). So you don't need to use Markdown if you don't want to, you can format text in other ways like using the formatting toolbar or through keyboard shortcuts. And syncing between different devices is handled automatically for you since it's a web app.
I also wanted to make it open source [2] so that anyone could look at the code and contribute to it if they wanted to. I'm not a big fan of the way that a lot of the apps in this space are closed source -- you don't really know what they're doing with your data, and it doesn't inspire confidence in the app's longevity.
It's still early in development, but I'm hoping to build a solid community behind it.
1. Industry cares more about concrete results, quick execution, and bias for action.
2. Academia cares more about positive results, quantity of published papers, and small achievable experiments over big experiments that might fail.
Where are the institutions that care about deep understanding?

Screenshot Creator came out of a problem that I had encountered when I was building mobile apps in the past. When listing apps on the App Store or on Google Play, I always dreaded uploading screenshots because they took me forever to make. I didn't want to just upload plain screenshots - I wanted to make them look just as good as the ones that the top apps had.
I used to spend hours making these screenshots and updating them. I tried to look for an existing screenshot maker but none of the ones in the market really stood out to me - they tended to be buggy, or hard to use, or too expensive. So I decided to make my own, and I designed it to be dead simple to use, but still really powerful.
Check it out, and let me know what you think!
The logo that we're using was created using Namecheap's Logo Maker [1], and was intended to be a temporary placeholder. We'll be changing it soon.
