You maybe want to check the trademarks for this name, there are some for it. Not that this must become a problem, but it's better to avoid potential problems early.

Besides that, SQLite seems promising, but not sure how exactly this relates to everything. The website is talking about saving in browser, and there is no release on the GitHub. Is this something running in browser only?

Thanks for the reminder. I know this makes SEO more challenging, and it also reminds people of a certain game company, but I really love this concept, which originates from the Plato's theory of forms, and it pairs perfectly with the eidos.space domain name. While it may not be a great business name, the concept itself is exciting.

Eidos is deployed on Cloudflare Pages. it's a purely frontend project and the web is only used for distribution. In order to iterate faster, I didn't use GitHub's release yet.

There are some enhanced experience services running on serverless, but they are not necessary. For instance, adding a bookmark block to a document requires fetching extra information through a URL. This relies on https://github.com/mayneyao/link-preview . Most of the CORS related work is implemented through Cloudflare worker. These services are not necessary. Moreover, they are open-sourced and can be self-deployed. For more details, see https://github.com/mayneyao/eidos/blob/main/lib/const.ts#L64

Sorry I’m a bit confused. You describe this as an offline alternative to Notion, but there are also some optional components that run on serverless?

You can use Eidos with Wi-Fi off. when you add a bookmark, it won't display a rich information card, but just a URL. if you don't like this part, I can provide options to disable them. All of this can be solved through Electron, but I think PWA is enough, and Cloudflare generously provides some services.

Yes, the first thing I thought was, “Tomb Raider”!
