Commonplace
A comprehensive system for organising and connecting information through cards, collections, and programmable behaviour.
What is Commonplace?
Commonplace is a system designed to help you organise, connect, and interact with information in a flexible and powerful way. Built around the concepts of cards and collections, it provides a foundation for creating everything from simple note-taking systems to complex knowledge management platforms.
Cards: The Fundamental Unit
Every piece of information in Commonplace is stored as a card. Cards can contain text, data, scripts, or any other content type. They're versioned, linkable, and can evolve over time while preserving their history.
Collections: Organisation & Context
Cards are organised into collections that provide context and structure. Collections can represent projects, topics, workflows, or any organisational scheme that makes sense for your use case.
Commonscript: Programmable Behavior
Add dynamic behaviour to your cards and collections with Commonscript, a built-in scripting language that allows for automation, data processing, and interactive experiences.
Federation & Publishing
Share your work with others through Commonplace's federation system. Publish collections, collaborate on shared knowledge bases, and build distributed information networks.
Progressive Complexity
Start simple with basic note-taking and gradually add more sophisticated features as your needs grow. Commonplace scales from personal use to enterprise-level knowledge management.
Extensible System
Extend Commonplace with custom card types, new scripting capabilities, and integration with external systems. The architecture is designed for flexibility and growth.
Commonplace is in development
Commonplace is currently in active development, with a preview version planned for release in the future. While we work on bringing this vision to life, we encourage you to explore the documentation, share your ideas, and provide input on how Commonplace could best serve your information management needs.
