DO Knowledge Studio

A local-first knowledge studio for rich notes, knowledge graphs, mind maps, semantic search, and AI-assisted thinking — all in your browser, no backend required.

This repository contains the redesigned DO Knowledge Studio: a Next.js 16 app that reimagines the original Vite + React SPA as a calmer, more deliberate editorial workspace. The visual language is "Editorial Paper & Saffron" — warm paper backgrounds, deep ink type, and a single saffron accent. See DESIGN.md for the full design reference.

The nine views

View	One-line description
Home	Dashboard with stats, recent activity, and entity-type breakdown.
Editor	Capture a thought, claim, or note with floating toolbar, tags, and meta.
Library	Browse and filter entities in a grid or list with sort and type filters.
Graph	Visualize relationships as an interactive SVG graph with three layouts.
Mind Map	Hierarchical exploration with expandable tree, depth slider, and root selector.
Chat	Ask your library; the assistant answers with grounded citations.
AI Harness	Configure LLM providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama) and chat with models.
TRIZ Matrix	Solve inventive contradictions via a 2-step parameter picker + principle results.
Export	Backup and share your knowledge as Markdown, JSON, or encrypted archive.

How to run

bun install
bun run dev

The app is served at http://localhost:3000. The dev log is tee'd to dev.log in the project root.

Other scripts:

bun run lint      # eslint
bun run build     # production build
bun run start     # serve the standalone production build
bun run db:push   # prisma db push (if you use the prisma layer)

Design system

The full design reference — color tokens, typography, spacing, radius, shadows, focus rings, component patterns, layout, and accessibility rules — lives in DESIGN.md. Read it before adding new components or touching tokens in globals.css.

Local-first principles

• All entity data lives in the Zustand store (seeded from src/lib/studio/seed-data.ts). There is no network call required to use the app.
• The "Offline ready" badge in the topbar is a constant reminder of this promise.
• Export is the user's escape hatch — Markdown, JSON, or an encrypted archive.
• The AI Harness view supports local Ollama models so the entire workflow can stay on-device.
