Personal dashboard turned into an open-source AI wiki that grows itself locally

A developer open-sourced their personal dashboard as a self-growing wiki tool that runs entirely on your own computer. A local AI model organizes and connects your notes and data automatically, with no internet required. Solo operators can use it as a private knowledge base that turns scattered information into actionable insights.

The tool uses a local LLM — an AI model that runs on your own machine rather than a remote server — so none of your data is sent anywhere outside your computer. It draws inspiration from flourishing research, a branch of psychology studying human growth and well-being, with the goal of connecting stored data to real actions rather than just archiving notes. The wiki is described as 'self-growing,' meaning it automatically expands and links entries the more you use it.

For a solo internet business operator, this could serve as a private knowledge base for customer notes, ideas, and research, with the AI finding connections you might miss. Because it is fully open-source and runs locally, there is no subscription cost and sensitive business information stays on your own device.
