Parallel pages: Use parallel pages to navigate multiple content so you can analyze and ideate better. 2. Knowledge graph and back links: Build your second brain with graph based organization. 3. Content Blocks: Manage content components with flexible styles and settings. 4. Playground: Express your originality by programming gadgets using our Playground feature. 5.

I love all knowledge management attempts, but i often feel that something has to exist to help me also retain some of the knowledge - ala Spaced Repetition. Ie i think we need a tool that helps manage knowledge, but then also help you pick a slice of that knowledge to ensure you have memorized, retained. A cold storage warm cache sort of approach. Does Innos help at all with retention?

  Would like to emphasize this. They’re some great tools that manage knowledge extremely well (including Innos). But now I’d like to see more work on the knowledge’s deployment into the user’s life — a tool to help make it actionable (in conversation for example) without having to boot up the library every time. I see that Innos has a programming feature which I think is a good step. But more features that specifically help the recall of knowledge would be awesome.

  Agreed, how to recall knowledge is more important than just store information. Innos have three features to make knowledge recall happen. 1. Linked references & Unlinked references With this mechanism. If we are currently in the context of page A. Any pages related to page A will be and list under page A, this make related information can be discoverable, and where recall happen. 2. Knowledge Graph Pages is connected in a graph, and graph is a way to explore all knowledge. Knowledge can be recalled through the graph links. 3. Auto suggest When you type some keyword in a page's paragraph, if you mention the keyword is another page's name in the system. Innos will auto mark it. Just like vscode function reference highlight. A recall will happen at this certain time.

  IMO a box of 3x5 flashcards is unbeatable.

What does it to better than Obsidian.md?
- 6174 5y ago
  The main differences: 1. Obsidian.md is a local-first notebook, Innos is cloud-based knowledge base. 2. Obsidian is a personal tool. Innos can be used for team scenarios(Innos supports collaborative editing). 3. Innos supports rich content types(Images\Video\Iframes\Sandbox). While Obsidian.md is a text-based editor. 4. Innos is block-based collaborative editor. Can be fully accessed by API in block level. (So far not supported yet, but in our plan.)

Thumbs up guys! Very slick experience... I've been using obsidian + my own code to publish notes. Mainly because I want to make sure I own the data (all the .md files). Will I be able to download my data?
- 6174 5y ago
  Sure, you should be able to own your data. We are working on the exporting feature and api for programmable access for innos data. In your case, do you want to export a whole space to a folder include .md files or just need export a page to a .md file?

Interesting. Looks like it's inspired by Roam Research.
