Piggydb is a flexible and scalable knowledge building platform that supports a heuristic or bottom-up approach to discover new concepts or ideas based on your input. You can begin with using it as a flexible outliner, diary or notebook, and as your database grows, Piggydb helps you to shape or elaborate your own knowledge. Piggydb is a Web application provided as a self-contained package that contains a Web server and database engine.

With Piggydb, you can create highly structured content by connecting knowledge fragments to each other to build a network structure, which is more flexible and expressive than a tree structure. Fragments can also be classified using hierarchical tags.

Features

  • Note taking with Knowledge Fragments: the unit of information in Piggydb
  • Text Fragments (with wiki formatting) / File Fragments
  • Organizing your fragments in a flexible network structure
  • Embedding a fragment into another fragment
  • Tag as a first-class component (an integral part of knowledge; not a mere index)
  • Hierarchical Tagging
  • Smoothly integrated multi-user management (a user is a fragment tagged #user)
  • Document View: browsing your organized content in printer-friendly format
  • Full text search
  • No installation needed: Just unzip downloaded archive and run the file
  • Familiar web interface can be used as a standalone app on your computer

  • It's a very nice and polished piece of software. I've started using it as a research journal: i've set up a server and access the app through my favorite browser and operating system. Keep up the good work!
