Cahier – A knowledge base with native support for research

Hacker News

I'm happy to be on Hacker News to present my most recent project. Cahier is a personal knowledge management system created to support out of the box the research workflow. It allows you to both store and consume study documents (PDFs, web pages, etc.), manage the annotations from those documents, and produce written content based on them. It goes further than existing reference managers because we chose to make the annotation management a part of the application, so you can organize and centralize highlights in notes and special document elements. It's a local-first, native application for Windows and macOS, created to be a research companion for serious readers. Here's a more detailed method that uses the app: https://felipefarinon.com/articles/a-method-for-doing-resear...
