Welcome to the Thought Keeper project dossier. This is where I document the complete journey of building Thought Keeper - from initial concept through implementation challenges to final release.

Follow along as I share technical decisions, architectural patterns, and practical insights gained while developing this markdown-based notes and knowledge database.

This project is currently in idea phase. Explore the articles below to see the evolution and lessons learned.

Thought Keeper

A markdown-based knowledge management system that combines the simplicity of plain text with powerful organization features. Thought Keeper uses a Zettelkasten-inspired approach with bidirectional linking, tags, and hierarchical organization.

The system supports mathematical notation, code blocks, diagrams, and embedded media while maintaining clean markdown compatibility. It includes full-text search, backlink discovery, and graph visualization for exploring knowledge networks.

Thought Keeper manages references and citations for academic and research use cases. The architecture prioritizes longevity with open formats, export capabilities, and version history for all notes.
