NoteDiscovery

A self-hosted knowledge base inspired by Obsidian that stores notes as plain Markdown files. Build your personal knowledge graph with wikilinks, graph view, and full-text search — all running in a single container with no database.

What You Can Do After Deployment

1. Visit your domain — the editor loads with a clean writing interface
2. Create notes — write in Markdown with live preview and syntax highlighting
3. Link notes together — use [[wikilinks]] to connect ideas and build a knowledge graph
4. Explore the graph — visualize note connections in an interactive graph view
5. Search everything — full-text search across all your notes instantly
6. Use templates — create reusable templates for common note types
