Cosma

Cosma is a visualization tool for knowledge workers. It reads plain text files with [[wiki links]] and renders them as an interactive network of index cards.

Cosma provides an interface to navigate and share non-linear documentation:

• if you have a personal wiki, Zettelkasten or digital garden;
• if you create mind maps, networks of people and concepts;
• if you work with citations and bibliographies;
• if you study things that involve time metadata;

then you can use Cosma to create a portable knowledge base, combining rich hypertextual descriptions with the affordances of a graph view, contextualized backlinks, automatically generated citations, metadata filters and more.
