KnowMe is inspired by:
- Obsidian — local-first notes
- Logseq — outliner + bidirectional links
- LLM Wiki — the LLM-compiled wiki paradigm proposed by Karpathy
- QMD — Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke's local AI note exploration
Sibling project: PyClaw — Python educational visualization tool. Both follow the "pinyin + technical word" naming convention.
