helps you have more fun with knowledge creation
I ve written a Getting Started guide for Cotoami, walking you step by step from installation to the basics of how to use it. The guide also introduces Cotoami s proposed method for knowledge creation, the PPCP (Post/Pin/Connect/Promote) Cycle, explained with real examples. This method represents one of the conclusions I ve reached about how to cultivate a [ ]
Cotoami offers two main ways to view your input: Flow and Stock. In the screenshot below, the left side shows the Flow timeline, while the right side displays pinned items in the Stock. Flow is an unstructured stream of posts arranged in chronological order, where you can casually throw in any information without hesitation. From [ ]
Hello everyone! Today, I’d like to introduce a new feature in Cotoami: the ChatGPT plugin. If I had to name one major difference between Cotoami and Piggydb, it would be the adoption of a chat-like interface to lower the barrier to input. The idea is that even a quick, one-line note—or information that might turn [ ]
I have no idea how many people still visit this site, but I hope you re all doing well. It s been over five years since my last post here—and seven years since Piggydb’s 10th anniversary. Today, I’m writing this simply as a way of saying: I’m still alive, and yes, I’m still doing the same kind [ ]
Recently, Cotoami project, the successor of Piggydb, released a new feature called Linking Phrases . As you can see in the screenshot below, it allows annotating a connection when you feel a need for some explanation of it. I thought about this enhancement when I was working on Piggydb some years ago but suspected it would [ ]
Hello. Piggydb turned 10 this summer. It was August 27, 2008, when I released the first version. Recently the project is in a dormant state. It s been more than two years since the last release (February 2016). In 2010, I wrote about the goal of Piggydb: But as I experimented with Piggydb’s knowledge creation, I [ ]
Hello! After the experimental endeavour to create a next-generation Piggydb which became Oinker.me, we decided to re-create it from scratch as open source. The project is called Cotoami . It is still in an early stage of development and we are looking for some comments and feedback from people who are interested in Piggydb-like applications. You [ ]
Hi there, It s long time no see actually, it s almost two years since the last version (V6.18) was released. After the long pause, Piggydb s new version is finally here. It doesn t contain big changes except that the page header has been redesigned. Now it looks cooler than before (hopefully), and the title displayed in the [ ]
From time to time I received requests for MindMap or ConceptMap like graph visualization (nodes and edges style) in Piggydb or Oinker. But I thought there were things to consider in order to implement it since the models in both applications were document-oriented as I explained in an Oinker Blog entry. Graph Style (Nodes and [ ]
Hi there, It s been a while. These days I m working on a web service Oinker off and on, squeezing time from busy days. Recently, I ve started pulling well-proven features from Piggydb and adding them to Oinker. One of them is a content publishing capability which is implemented as Anonymous Access in Piggydb (sample site). Oinker s [ ]
