Show HN: GalaxyBrain – an information operating system powered by local files

https://galaxybrain.com

GalaxyBrain is a local-first knowledge system where pages have variables, formulas, and live references between them.Every page can have custom variables defined on it, like a lightweight programming environment inside a document. Those variables become metadata you can access and reference from any other page in the system. Change a value anywhere and everything connected to it updates in real...

Show HN: Galaxybrain.com – a JSON-based knowledge system

Hi HN,I’d like to share a project I’ve been working on called GalaxyBrain. It’s a tool for organizing information.Key features: Embeddable dynamic metadata: as you type, metadata is generated in the background. This metadata can be accessed and embedded directly into the page.Light programming concepts built in: you can add custom values (think variables) to any page, then reference those...

If the list makes no sense or follow a pattern, how does it reveal a motive?

what happened?
I tried this service and ran 2 campaigns with different groups of friends. It was amazing. DND was something I wanted to try for a long time but the barrier to entry was (at least, perceived to be) really high.

Great to see this finally launching. I'll be recommending this service to anyone who's interested in dipping their toe into DND. I also love that you're making being a "Professional Dungeon Master" a plausible future career choice. :)

Stopwatch is building a new social network. Interesting product with some new ideas. Small remote team of 4 and some great investors. We’re currently pre-launch.

We're looking for an additional iOS engineer to help build the app.

Is there a US version of this? Cool service!

I'm curious.... is there some sort of crazy image recognition tech going on here or does the website owner need to somehow identify what's in the image for the ads to work? If it's the former then this is seriously impressive.

Actually, if you price us up against other _linen_ bedding you’ll see that we’re incredibly competitive. Something comparable would cost upwards of $600.

Once you factor in the fact that linen lasts up to 10x as long as cotton the price becomes much more stomachable.

Re:How We Built and Launched Mod For $22,450 on Monday March 24, 2014 @04:29PM (#7461215)
Hey!

Really appreciate the feedback.

For me the value is in knowing everything is backed up and saved. I very rarely actually need access to my old notes and sketches from previous notebooks but there’s a lot of sentimental value there for me.

If a note I take is actually time sensitive or needs to be referenced soon, I still have the physical notebook to reference.

I have (low quality photos of) sketches of old ideas that later become companies. The notebooks themselves are long gone but I love that I still have some kind of digital backup.

I’d eventually like to get the price of mod notebooks down so they’re on par with other notebooks that don’t have the digitizing bundled in (it’s already pretty close).

This is actually the pain point we were trying to solve with mod. Each time we'd fill up a notebook we'd manually take pictures of every page and save it to evernote. If you've ever done this you'll know...

- It takes FOREVER.

- Pictures are blurry / out of focus / misaligned

- There's a limit to the number of pictures you can attached to a note in evernote so each notebook ends up needing to be spread between a few different evernote "notes".

- Evernote really isn't designed to consume this kind of content. (We have an app designed specifically for this: http://app.modnotebooks.com/demo)

Huge fan of this company. Great job guys!

This is what happened. Luckily the domain happened to be dropping a few days after I decided I wanted it.

Fixed this. Thank you!
