I’d like to see these kind of second brain tools mergable with a global anonymized database. Where my notes merge with the collective, and I can traverse ideas that spawn from my database into the collective whole.


This was exactly what the World Wide Web was intended to be.


I agree this is something we should have and it's what I will be working on for the next year or so.

One aspect I would like to get out of it is something like Wikipedia but with no notability criteria or censorship, since each author can choose which edits to include.


Nice idea, but how will you deal with spam without spending all your resources into moderation?


Each editor can choose how they want to moderate incoming edits. So I expect most editors would delegate most pages a service who aggregates other editors, and focus on just their core interests.


How can I follow along?


I'm not a fan of the "release early" montra, but if I build something interesting I'll let you know.


This is, in theory, what graph.global is supposed to be (by Mek from OpenLibrary / Internet Archive).
