# Cuby Text

![](./images/home.png)

## What

Cuby Text is:

- An experimental knowledge management app

- An app focused on writing

- An open source app

- A personal project

Cuby Text is **NOT**:

- An open-source alternative to a commercial product

- A stable product

## Why

Many excellent knowledge management apps are based on extended markdown files.

They are powerful but not expressive.

New products use blocks to organize their content.

It's very inspirational. I like them, but I want privacy and native experiences too.

So I created CubyText. It's fast and designed to be extensible.

To achieve this goal I built the [blocky editor](https://github.com/vincentdchan/blocky-editor).

It doesn't have complex concepts, just simple pages and blocks. No big deal.
