Hello, I’ve been making a personal knowledge management application that I could use with Typst markup functionality. I decided to make it available to other people recently in case there is more interest for this sort of thing. If you’d like to try it out, it’s here https://inkycap.org. It’s a local, desktop application.
I mostly work with Linux so that’s probably where it works best but I’ve made Windows builds available too and from what I can tell they work just as well. I don’t have a Mac but some nice person helped make that build so I believe you should be able to download the code and build it yourself.
My thinking was that since we make notes, gather research, and work processes in PKM tools, those should bring together the notes more closely into the publishing process.
I think this is especially the case if you work in a Zettelkasten workflow, where you later convert notes into publishable papers (or other sorts of outputs). We should be able to reduce the gap of going from the notes to the paper.
I also wanted to have something that felt familiar to Obsidian’s way of functioning but it’s intentionally not a perfect 1:1 set of features. Aside from the Typst base, they diverge in a lot of significant ways.
My goal is to continue maintaining this as best I can but to be forthright, I am not a professional developer. This is somewhat of an experiment and I cannot guarantee how well it will continue to go. If others with more skills or knowledge took an interest, I’d be open to discuss possible collaboration, etc.
