Shuli is a simple yet powerful note-taking software that supports rich text editing, Markdown syntax, block editing menus via /, WebDAV synchronization, and excellent performance.

> I stumbled upon this note-taking software on v2ex; this software is not developed by Xiaoz, please choose based on your usage needs!

### Download and Usage

**Download and Installation**

Currently, Shuli supports Windows, Linux, and macOS platforms, and the client can be downloaded for free from the official website: [https://slinote.com/home](https://slinote.com/home). Mobile support is not yet available, but according to the author, it is in development and will be supported in the future.

After installation, the interface is simple, and you can find a built-in user guide.

**Configuring WebDAV**

Notes created in Shuli are stored locally by default. We can configure WebDAV for cloud synchronization. Here, Xiaoz uses the WebDAV functionality of [Zdir](https://www.zdir.pro/zh/) as an example.

First, open the settings menu in the lower-left corner of Shuli >> Cloud Services >> WebDAV

Then fill in the WebDAV information provided by Zdir. For specifics, refer to the Zdir help document: [https://doc.xiaoz.top/web/#/10/45](https://doc.xiaoz.top/web/#/10/45)

* Server Address: `https://domain.com/dav`
* Username: Your Zdir username
* Password: Your Zdir password
* Note Space: Choose an existing space or create a new one
* Sync Mode: Choose based on your needs; here, Xiaoz chose to sync every minute

The configuration screenshot is as follows:

Then, return to Zdir to find that Shuli has automatically created a `shuli` directory and synced the note data to Zdir's WebDAV.

> Note: Multiple notes require multiple WebDAV configurations, one WebDAV corresponds to one note. If you are using WebDAV provided by Zdir, you can distinguish them by adding subdirectories to the server address, e.g., `https://domain.com/dav/note`

**Rich Directory Tree**

As the name suggests, the directory tree is also rich text. The document's title and outline will automatically generate a directory tree while retaining rich text. By editing the document's title and outline, you can generate various styles of directory trees, such as image-text directories, emoji directories, and task directories.

**Tables**

Shuli's tables have full-featured rich text editing capabilities, supporting some basic Excel operations, and allowing nested tables within cells. The nesting of tables can be used for page layout, similar to no-code website building, enabling the creation of various desired pages.

**Double Links and Links**

Shuli's double links are different from other double-link note-taking software. The inspiration for Shuli's double links comes from the reference search functionality in IDEs, which is crucial for understanding and managing code. The double links bear similarity to reference searches, and Shuli implements a set of referencing capabilities at the text level, allowing for two-way data synchronization. The panel that pops up when clicking a double link is a fully functional editing area that supports nesting and multiple openings, enabling easy editing and organizing of related notes.

### User Experience

The WebDAV functionality of Shuli is incredibly convenient; note data can be easily synchronized, and you have complete control over your data, which is reassuring regarding security. However, it is still in the early stages of development, and some areas need improvement, such as the lack of code block support and some deficiencies in Markdown functionality, with occasional minor bugs. I hope the developers can optimize these issues soon.

Additionally, Shuli currently does not support web access and the mobile version is not yet developed, so it cannot be used on mobile phones for now. We can only look forward to further updates from the developers.

### Conclusion

Although Shuli currently has some minor flaws, such as not supporting code blocks and needing improvements in Markdown functionality, it has already demonstrated powerful features and a convenient user experience as an emerging note-taking software. If you are interested in it, you might want to follow the developers' updates. I believe that over time, Shuli will become more refined and powerful.
