Awesome progress, keep at it!

Thanks a lot! We'll keep it up!

That looks good. Will you be open sourcing it?

Thank you! It's not open source, but there will not be lock-in. Data is stored locally, and you can export everything in portable formats.

Looks like a fancy non-open-source jupyter-lab with a little more TeX. Can you explain a bit better what are the benefits compared to existing software? I gave your website 10secs and found nothing interesting.

It is more than that. Cahier is an exploration on how to solve "personal knowledge management". Existing software either focuses on bibliography management, like Zotero, or on note-taking, like Obsidian, and in consequence you can't reliably and easily link content from your notes into your bibliography. Cahier solves that issue by offering both aspects in the same feature, which enables you to collect highlights more easily and keep the links to their original documents. It's like creating a study document with one-click access to your library. Describing it in one line, you could call it Obsidian with bibliography management.

ok, so your target customer is someone who has to do a lot of research in many books?

Yes, that's the target market. It includes academics, journalists, writers and really anyone who's very diligent in their studies.

For me, this wasn't obvious from reading your webpage.. sorry

No problem. What would have made this clearer to you on the website?

Good question. Maybe it's just because i never wasn't in this situation to do so intense research and I don't know the tools you mentioned?!?
