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.
