Your Commonbase is a self-organizing scrapbook.Your Commonbase provides zero stress for humans on four core functionalities: storing, searching, synthesizing, and sharing personal knowledge. From a technical standpoint, Your Commonbase is a vector database that has a dual layer: one for user-inputted data that becomes embedded, and another for machine/human metadata. The metadata column holds features about the data, including IDs its related to, or what source URL it came from, etc. By using a scrapbook format, you can save any chaotic interest you have. Want to deeply rabbit hole the policies of 14th century Denmark for months? Want to spend one day looking into different types of shovels? Want to chronicle the weeks of a plant growing on your window sill with pictures? Go wild! By using vector embeddings, we can find anything we need. Over time, our memories of an event become fuzzy. We may only remember certain parts or very few parts at all. Your Commonbase is built to help you use these small tidbits and reunite with these entries! With the Entry/Comment Model, Your Commonbase allows you and your environment to evolve around your entries, keeping them useful time immemorial.
The four functions of Your Commonbase are: 1) Storing, 2) Searching, 3) Synthesizing, and 4) Sharing. Lets examine each of these in more detail.
