Show HN: A self-organizing digital Zettelkasten for research
Funes is a Git-based framework designed to transform raw sources into organized knowledge with the help of an AI Librarian. This system ingests, compiles, and manages information, producing various outputs while maintaining a structured knowledge base. The project is inspired by Borges's character Funes, who remembers everything but struggles with abstraction, aiming to preserve raw data and abstract it into usable concepts.
- ▪Funes uses an AI Librarian to manage and compile raw sources into a structured Markdown wiki.
- ▪The workflow allows users to provide sources and questions while the Librarian handles writing and organization.
- ▪The project is named after Borges's character Funes, emphasizing the importance of both memory and abstraction in knowledge management.

You provide the sources and questions; the Librarian handles the writing, linking, indexing, health checks, and upkeep. Everything lives in plain Markdown inside a Git repo, so your knowledge base is versioned, diffable, portable, searchable, and usable from GitHub or any editor.
