Our templates follow it and we have a starter pack for it.

You can think of our app as a general purpose IDE for any knowledge base/wiki/markdown.

Rest is indeed mainly packaging up all the second-brain, MCP, skills, and AI integrations to be out-of-the-box. More to come.

collab between human <> human happens using git/GitHub. so collab right now is auto-sync (~few min latency) + sharing functionality. Richer realtime collab is indeed something we're looking at.

So you don't need the two apps open.

And we embedded the Claude terminal within the OpenKnowledge app itself if you prefer that. We are working on embedding the AI (including local models) more deeply within the app itself as well, expect updates in next week.

Uses GitHub as the source of truth for the content.

Currently the CRDT is local and is used so that agents can edit the markdown concurrently with the user, and the user can edit it via the WYSWIG editor or the raw markdown editor. CRDT powers the live indicators, etc.

CRDT and git are reconciled so that git stays as the canotical version history.
