Gnote started as a C++ port of Tomboy and has moved its own path later.
Starting as Tomboy clone, Gnote continues with the same initial ideas and mostly has the same functionality. However it moved forward for the sake of better integration with modern GNOME desktop environment.

Gnote uses Meson for its build system, so compiling it is a standard: meson && cd && meson compile && ninja install
Dependencies:
- Glibmm 2.74
- Gtkmm 4.0
- libadwaita
- libsecret
- libuuid
- libxml2
- libxslt
Upon first running Gnote, it will import Tomboy and eventually StickyNote notes. These will be copied.
It is deliberate that it does not share the storage with Tomboy. Note: due to the way Tomboy work, the "pinned" state of the notes will not be carried over, not yet.
