Very nice work Do you mind elaborating on how this differs from “outline” and “anytype”? I think a comparison table on the website on how this solution differentiates itself from competitors is going to be helpful. Also, what’s going to be the pricing model?

Thanks for your advice. Eidos is more like a PDM tool rather than a PKM tool, but it can be used as a PKM with some extensions, just as the introduction says, it's an extensible framework.

I've used the tools you mentioned and more. None of them have a powerful table, which is one of the reasons I decided to create Eidos. Eidos can handle large amounts of data like Excel. Anytype/Outline cannot do this.

I plan to follow Obsidian's model, with the core being always free. here is some plans: - publish service (subscription-based) - peer-to-peer data synchronization (One-time payment, like Resilio sync) - an extension store that benefits developers (still a rough idea in my mind)

If you allow dependency-included self-host (preferably via an application wrapper like Electron where I can use a firewall to control which outbound connections are allowed), support mobile devices, and charge a one-time fee for p2p sync (decentralized, like SyncThing), this will be an instant buy for me.

Thought: Can you add a logout button?

Also, please consider a name change so SquEnix doesn't sue you out of existence!

What you want is also what I'm working on. Eidos is a personal open-source project focused on individual needs. It respects everyone's privacy. It does not collect any information. Since there is no account system, no need for a logout button

I really love this name. If I use Eidos Space, will there be trademark issues?
