Contextualise. Contextualise is an effective tool particularly suited for organising information-heavy projects and activities consisting of unstructured and widely diverse data and information resources. GitHub: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise Website: https://contextualise.dev/

In Ask HN: What open-source, non-funded project are you working on?

brettkromkamp·Aug 25, 2023

Contextualise, a tool I personally developed: https://contextualise.dev/ Contextualise excels at organising information-heavy projects and activities consisting of unstructured and widely diverse data and information resources. Contextualise is open-source: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise

In Ask HN: What tooling do you use for organizing/offloading your thoughts?

brettkromkamp·Mar 14, 2023

Contextualise, a tool to manage projects and/or activities with lots of unstructured data: a personal knowledge management tool of sorts. The link is here: (https://contextualise.dev/). It's a MIT-licensed open source project: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise

In Ask HN: What software are you dogfooding?

brettkromkamp·Feb 24, 2023

That would be Contextualise (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise) with 980 stars. The project is 3-4 years old. So, it's slow-going. Nevertheless, there are many (underappreciated) projects that should have a lot more stars than they do, so I am not complaining :)

In Ask HN: What's your most starred repo?

brettkromkamp·Oct 12, 2022

That would have to be Contextualise (https://contextualise.dev/) and its accompanying open source project (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise). I've been working on knowledge graph-related problems (and accompanying applications) for years and Contextualise is probably the most visible component of that work.

In If you were asked to showcase your best projects, which ones will you choose?

programmerdad·Jun 12, 2022

I have built a graph-based knowledge management system (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise) on top of SQLite. It runs great. Also, from a management point of view (e.g., deployments, backups) its ease of use is second to none. I migrated the application from PostgreSQL (which is also a great RDBMS) to SQLite and I haven’t looked back.

In The Winamp Skin Museum is powered by a SQLite3 database with 1.2GB of metadata

In Knowledge Base Issue

brettkromkamp·Sep 19, 2020

Contextualise, an open source (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise) knowledge management application: https://contextualise.dev/. Currently, working on my (Python and JavaScript-based) Storyteller project, an interactive 3D storytelling web application based on semantic events: https://brettkromkamp.com/posts/narrative-events/

In Ask HN:Interesting things you built using Python

brettkromkamp·Jul 24, 2020

I have implemented my own open-source (https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise) topic maps-based personal knowledge management system: Contextualise: https://contextualise.dev/. However, I think Contextualise is missing quite a few of the features that you are looking for. You can check out an exhaustive list of (personal) knowledge management applications, here: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/awesome-knowledge-managemen...

In Ask HN: What personal knowledge base software do you use?

brettkromkamp·Jun 25, 2020

Contextualise, a (personal and collaborative) knowledge management system: https://contextualise.dev/ It's open source: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise

In Ask HN: What’s the coolest thing you have built

brettkromkamp·Jun 18, 2020

Not using KGs for feature engineering/machine learning, but more for (personal) knowledge management. Using my own open source tool, Contextualise (https://contextualise.dev/ and https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise). Check out the awesome-knowledge-management list for more KG and KM resources: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/awesome-knowledge-managemen... At a professional level use KGs for educational web services in relation to curricula taxonomies.

In What tools are you using to build and visualize knowledge graphs in 2020?

brettkromkamp·Jun 7, 2020

Contextualise (https://contextualise.dev/), a personal and collaborative knowledge management tool. It’s open source: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise. With Contextualise, I am really scratching my own itch. That is, I am developing Contextualise for my own needs: I am using the application to structure and document the development of Contextualise itself but also as a tool to organise and document my other hobbies and research projects. Although, as mentioned, I am developing Contextualise for my own needs, I really do hope that other people find it to be useful for their own purposes.

In Ask HN: What’s your side project? (June 2020)

brettkromkamp·May 14, 2020
