a self organizing scrapbook! focused on zero stress for storage, searching, synthesizing and sharing a personal library

That sounds interesting, I might give it a try. Do you plan to allow plugins for domain-specific development ?

thank you, i appreciate it! yes, the software is api first, and much of it’s utility comes from working in other environments like google docs, ios shortcuts, etc..

in essence, the core of the project is a vector database that works for end users who want no fuss quick capture, semantic and fts search, the ability to create new relationships with marginalia.

im not trying to replace tools like obsidian or notion, i think ycb works better with them doing what they do best! i also plan to make the stack self hostable in the near future :)

Self-hosted notion replacement would be amazing, I hope you succeed !
