InkyCap is a Typst-based Personal Knowledge Management App

I've been working on the InkyCap PKM tool for a while now (for my own use) but would like to introduce it in case others want to try it. InkyCap is a Typst-based personal knowledge management desktop application.

InkyCap is open source (repository on Codeberg) and focuses on academics, writers, or anyone wanting both conventional PKM functionality and advanced features for publishing, knowledge discovery, recall, and ideation, as well as agenda-keeping, project creation, etc. From what I've seen, most PKM tools are based on Markdown but I think that Typst markup has a lot of advantages, especially in academic contexts.

InkyCap has a lot of features you'd expect from a PKM tool, including two-way wikilinks and a variety of organizational configurations. It works similarly to apps like Obsidian, where there is a source mode for editing but also a "visual" sort of WYSIWYM editor and it has some additional reading modes like a Journal Scroll view that displays your notes in various configurations of chronological order. Some built-in niceties like Zotero and .bib integrations, rudimentary integrated git collaboration, etc. I have a more extensive list of features here.

I'm currently using it with thousands of notes and it works pretty well for me, quite fast. I'll continue to gradually improve it over time but to be forthright, I am not a professional developer. Which means it's likely to have some problems. I do like the idea of eventually welcoming others that are keen to improve it. If you're interested, let me know!

Since I'm mostly using Linux that's where it's currently most stable but I've successfully tested on Windows too. I don't have access to a Mac, so while it should work in theory, I don't know if it will yet.
