Interesting project. It says it is inspired by obsidian (and roam). It is also keen on "end-user Programming", so the org-mode (and org-roam) comparison is inevitable on HN (20 emacs occurences in this thread and counting...)

So, what is special?

It is polish (=creator [4]). does that count? [0]

Seriously. For one thing, I spotted the "item" and "data" as queryable data sources [1]. if this is real "block level querying" (in that freeform page format), it could be indeed a missing link between obsidian and roam/logseq [0]. It is still early days though.

[0] Outside English-speaking/Western-Europe, Siuyan [2] is another local open source KB gem that successfully bridged this (blocks + freeform) gap with a very fast dev cycle. Being Chinese, It is not popular... wait.. what about logseq [3] ? (obsidian too? no.)
