Contribute to memos

memos is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:

• It has no external dependency.
• It requires zero config.
• 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.

Prerequisite

• Node.js, requires version >=18.0
• pnpm, requires version >=8.0
• Go, requires Go >= 1.19
• Air for backend live reload

Steps

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos
   

2. Start backend using air

   air -c scripts/.air.toml
   

3. Start frontend

   cd web && pnpm i && pnpm dev
   

memos should now be running at http://localhost:3001 and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.
