Overview
What I built & why
Privacy-first, local-first knowledge base that operates on plain-text Markdown and Org-mode files. Bidirectional links, outliner UI, and a graph view.
Backed by a non-profit; popular alternative to Roam Research and Obsidian for outline-style note takers.

Process
Challenge & solution
The challenge
Mobile traffic was outpacing desktop two-to-one, yet the existing experience was effectively unusable below 768px.
The solution
Designed the new editor flow around the actual content patterns, with sane defaults and one-click publish targets.
