Ideon

Ideon is a spatial workspace for projects. It brings repositories, notes, links, and people into a single visual hub, aiming to reduce the fragmentation that can make work harder to follow and keep a project mentally navigable.

Its core model is block-based: GitHub repositories, color palettes, stakeholders, links, files, and plain text can all be represented as blocks. Those blocks are arranged on a canvas, where their proximity and relationships are set spatially rather than through lists or folders. Ideon also includes workspace snapshots for versioning, so decisions can be tracked over time and reverted if needed. Collaboration is built in as well, with real-time cursors, shared views, and guests who can join without an account.

The product is presented for personal organization, creative work, and project management. It is described for keeping bookmarks, articles, and notes in one place, for organizing moodboards and design assets visually, and for mapping tasks, stakeholders, and resources for projects of different sizes and complexity. The site also says it is built for everyone and for teams that think in context.

Ideon is self-hosted and open source. The page says setup can be done with Docker in one command, with Docker handling the database and server, and it lists TypeScript, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Git, and Yjs as part of the stack. The site also mentions an install command and an option to explore the source code.
