The Second Brain Gnome Users Deserve. Go Ahead, HN. Flag This OpenSourceProject

Gknowledge 0.3, the GNOME app that turns documents into an LLM-maintained wiki, was released six days after version 0.2 with a Flatpak build that installs on any Linux distribution via the GNOME 51 runtime, opening files through portals rather than the home folder and including PDF import. The release adds stale-source detection that compares each ingested source against its original file and re-extracts changed versions on Update, re-ingest and remove options that keep pages still supported by other sources, and a new stale_sources MCP tool available on PyPI via uvx gknowledge-mcp so Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can check the wiki for drift.

gknowledge 0.3: a Flatpak for every distro, and pages that know their source changed 72 francescobianco https://github.com/francescobianco started this conversation in Open Source AI https://github.com/orgs/openapi/discussions/categories/open-source-ai gknowledge https://github.com/openapi/gknowledge 0.3 is out. Six days after 0.2 https://github.com/orgs/openapi/discussions/71 , the native GNOME app that turns your documents into an LLM-maintained wiki now installs on any Linux distribution , and it knows when a page is out of date. What's new in 0.3.0 - Flatpak for every distro. Fedora, Arch, openSUSE, Ubuntu: one command, GNOME 51 runtime, no access to your home folder files are opened through portals , PDF import included. - Pages that know their source changed. Wiki pages rarely go wrong because the model hallucinates; they go stale because the document they came from changed. gknowledge now compares every ingested source with its original file, marks the ones that changed, and Update re-extracts the new version. Thanks to Justin @fromthearchitect https://dev.to/fromthearchitect for the feedback that started this. - Re-ingest and remove sources , keeping shared pages that other sources still support thanks @Aaqibhafeezkhan https://github.com/Aaqibhafeezkhan , Show us the smallest useful thing you built on an API 30 https://github.com/orgs/openapi/discussions/30 . - MCP : a new stale sources tool, so Claude Code, Codex or Cursor can check the wiki for drift.
