content management for your filesystem

early WIP stage — ideas welcome (but dont bother with code contributions)

current plan

a tauri-bundled svelte-based webapp, to serve as an abstraction layer on top of filesystem, to:

• navigate/organize/manage your stuff
• convert folder structure and content of files into a website

endgame

eventual plan is to make a custom window-manager, where (parts of) apps are ingrated as wigets, keeping entire focus on project/content magement

key features

• local-first, file-based
• interop layer for web-sharing and interactions
• async and realtime teamwork
• simple setup and integration with existing systems

items, containers, and workspaces

• note (post-it sized)
• url/bookmark/tab
• rich-text document/wikipage

• music track, playlist
• mixed content (using markdown extentions)

core wigets

base ui

• 16x16 grid of item-slots
• workspace is zoomable/expandable items
