    A possible implementation of the Agora (flancia.org/agora). (by flancian)

  • Thank you for the great TLDR :) Some slight corrections and comments below.

    1. https://github.com/flancian/agora does not contain actual user content currently (see 4. for historical context), but rather serves as a "root node": it contains a base [[CONTRACT]] (for now just a document stating a code of conduct that all users must follow; might be expanded into something fancier using a blockchain) and pointers to repositories (currently one per user) that contain the actual content. You might laugh at how simple this currently is :) https://github.com/flancian/agora/blob/master/util/reset

    2. Yes; the format is currently precisely Markdown plus [[wikilinks]] as an extension. [[wikilinks]] are "dead" by default in Markdown, being non standard; the [[agora server]] makes them go live by anchoring them to a context (an [[agora]] [[node]]).

    3. Yes -- although [[agora server]] is currently unable to push changes upstream to user repositories, this is planned. For now it's just a renderer. Users use tools of their choice ([[roam]], [[foam]], [[obsidian]], etc.) to create and maintain their repositories. I use [[foam]] on VS Code.

    4. Right now the Agora only pulls from user repositories as per 1.; eventually it will indeed pull from other Agoras, forming a federated network. Agoras will probably interact as long as their contracts are compatible.

  • I've been working on something like this too (knowledge graph research).

    A web-based notetaking app. With WYSIWYG editor, support linking to other notes (wikilink), image paste support, basic formatting, autosave feature.

    I'm still struggling to differentiate this from a wiki, since its main feature is still the [[WikiLink]]. The best thing i could think up for now is to modify the wiki's UI and UX for personal note taking usage. To create "networked-notetaking application". Pivoting my research goal from "organization-knowledge-management" to "personal-knowledge-management".

    The idea of "knowledge-graph-based social networks" is cool, but dont you think that the "post + comment thread" pattern, the "interest group" pattern and the "one-to-one direct communication" pattern are irreplaceable in a social network ?

    Even the wiki itself is using a rudimentary system to simulate those pattern on top of its knowledge graph structure. Lot of people, communicating together by editing the same single page, just like using a single blackboard together. (For example, see the "Talk" page on wikipedia)

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
