Local, markdown-first, and built around the idea that context should persist — not disappear into chat history.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"landing/screenshot.png\" alt=\"Quipu Screenshot\" style=\"border-radius:12px;box-shadow:0 0 0 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.12),0 12px 40px rgba(0,0,0,0.2),0 40px 80px rgba(0,0,0,0.12);\" width=\"100%\" /\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Why Quipu\n\nMost AI tools give you a chat window. Quipu gives you a workspace where knowledge accumulates. Your files carry context: annotations, instructions, AI history. Agents can read, update, and build on it over time.\n\nThis is closer to a living internal wiki than a retrieval system.\n\n## Features\n\n- **WYSIWYG Markdown Editing** — Rich text editing powered by TipTap. Write in a visual editor, get clean markdown output.\n- **FRAME Annotations** — Per-file AI context. Annotate any text with comments; Claude picks them up via `/frame`. Instructions and history live in `.quipu/meta/`, never inside your source files.\n- **Inline Comments** — Select any text and attach a comment. Comments display in a sidebar alongside your document, and travel with the file.\n- **Integrated Terminal** — Full shell access within the app. Run builds, tests, or launch Claude directly from the editor.\n- **File Explorer** — Browse, create, rename, and delete files and folders from the sidebar.\n- **Custom `.quipu` Format** — Saves editor state (formatting, comments, metadata) as JSON. Also reads and writes plain `.md` and `.txt` files.\n- **Keyboard Shortcuts** — `Ctrl+S` to save, `Ctrl+B` to toggle sidebar, `Ctrl+Shift+L` to send files to Claude.\n\n## FRAME\n\nFRAME is Quipu's per-file AI context layer. Every file in your workspace can carry:\n\n- **Annotations** — Comments anchored to specific lines, visible to both you and your AI tools\n- **Instructions** — Persistent context that tells agents how this file should be treated\n- **History** — A log of every AI interaction on the file, so you can trace what changed and why\n\nFRAME metadata lives in `.quipu/meta/` and never modifies your source files. Any tool (Claude, Copilot, your own scripts) can read and write them.\n\n```bash\n# In the integrated terminal, give Claude context on any file:\nclaude /frame project-proposal.md\n```\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n- **Electron** — Desktop shell\n- **React** + **Vite** — UI and build tooling\n- **TipTap** — Rich text / WYSIWYG editor\n- **xterm.js** — Terminal emulator\n- **Go** — Optional backend server for browser mode\n\n## Getting Started\n\n```bash\n# Install dependencies\nnpm install\n\n# Run in development mode (Vite + Electron)\nnpm start\n```\n\n## Build\n\n```bash\n# Production build\nnpm run build\n\n# Package as desktop app\nnpm run electron:pack\n```\n\n## Browser Mode\n\nQuipu can also run in a browser with a Go backend providing file system access and a terminal over WebSocket.\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\ncd server \u0026\u0026 go run main.go -addr localhost:3000\n```\n\n## Project Structure\n\n```\nelectron/          Electron main process and preload scripts\nserver/            Go backend for browser mode\nsrc/\n  components/      Editor, FileExplorer, Terminal, FolderPicker\n  context/         React Context for workspace state\n  services/        File system abstraction (Electron / browser)\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fusequipu%2Fquipu","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fusequipu%2Fquipu","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fusequipu%2Fquipu/lists"}
