github.com/3xpyth0n/ideon @v0.9.4

The self-hosted visual workspace for your projects.

Organize repositories, notes, links and more on a shared infinite canvas.

Overview

Ideon replaces abstract folders with spatial organization. Instead of navigating tabs, you see your entire project context: Git repositories, design notes, and tasks, on a single map.

Features

• Spatial Canvas: Place blocks anywhere. What is close is related.
• Live Integrations: Embed repositories and issues directly on the canvas (GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, Forgejo).
• Rich Media: Support for Markdown notes, images, links, and files.
• Multiplayer: Real-time collaboration with your team.
• Time Travel: View historical snapshots of your workspace to trace decisions.
• Self-Hosted: You own your data.
