Cuby Text

What

Cuby Text is:

• An experimental knowledge management app
• An app focused on writing
• An open source app
• A personal project

Cuby Text is NOT:

• An open-source alternative to a commercial product
• A stable product

Why

Many excellent knowledge management apps are based on extended markdown files. They are powerful but not expressive.

New products use blocks to organize their content. It's very inspirational. I like them, but I want privacy and native experiences too.

So I created CubyText. It's fast and designed to be extensible. To achieve this goal I built the blocky editor.

It doesn't have complex concepts, just simple pages and blocks. No big deal.
