"But again, what's the alternative?" Blockhain based social networks would seem the obvious choice. The onramp needs to be easier I feel though. Make the ID-management, posting and global searching easy enough.

conzept | 1 year ago | on: Topic exploration system for the 21st century (GPL)

A free topic-exploration tool based on Wikipedia, Wikidata, Archive.org, OpenAlex and other datasources. AI-based search and chat are also supported now (enter a locally stored OpenAI key).

conzept | 1 year ago | on: Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

An opensource, semantic topic exploration system, which can use any remote REST datasources (and soon self-hosted, custom TypeSense datasources).

See: https://conze.pt - this is an encyclopedic showcase, but could be used for any other information system, eg. a cultural archive.

Feedback welcome! I'm aware that the mobile experience needs work.

conzept | 1 year ago | on: The semantic web is now widely adopted

Not true: Wikidata, Open Alex, Europeana, ... and many smaller projects making use of all that data, such as my project Conzept (https://conze.pt)

conzept | 1 year ago | on: The semantic web is now widely adopted

I think the future holds a synthesis of LLM functions with semantic entities and logic from knowledge graphs (this is called "neuro-symbolic AI"), so each topic/object can have a clear context, upon which you can start prompting the AI for the preferred action/intention.

Already implemented in part on my Conzept Encyclopedia project (using OpenAI): https://conze.pt/explore/%22Neuro-symbolic%20AI%22?l=en&ds=r...

Something like this is much easier done using the semantic web (3D interactive occurence map for an organism): https://conze.pt/explore/Trogon?l=en&ds=reference&t=link&bat...

On Conzept one or more bookmarks you create, can be used in various LLM functions. One of the next steps is to integrate a local WebGPU-based frontend LLM, and see what 'free' prompting can unlock.

JSON-LD is also created dynamically for each topic, based on Wikidata data, to set the page metadata.

Cool! Could you please allow for searching by URL parameter. Then I can link it from the video section on topics at https://conze.pt Thanks!

conzept | 2 years ago | on: The History of Microsoft Encarta

Encarta was a big inspiration for my Conzept project (https://conze.pt) - a topic exploration system based on Wikipedia, Wikidata and other (pluggable) datasources.

See many usage examples here: https://twitter.com/conzept__

conzept | 3 years ago | on: Show HN: Transform any Wikipedia article into a graphical timeline

Not quite the same, but I've been working on geo-timeline views of Wikidata events.

WWII example: https://conze.pt/explore/World%20War%20II?l=en&t=link-split&...

Works of Rembrandt (by inception date and their location): https://conze.pt/explore/Rembrandt?l=en&t=link-split&i=Q5598...

Showing cultural periods is still to be worked out, but already supported somewhat: https://conze.pt/explore/Victorian%20era?l=en&t=link-split&i...

Very well done. Looks so nice with elevations, trees, shadows and even infrastructure details.

Hooked the lat/lon fields up to my encyclopedia project. Example: https://conze.pt/explore/Bern?l=en&t=link&i=Q70&u=https%3A%2...

conzept | 3 years ago | on: Top 70000 educational YouTube channels in 20 languages by category

I'm creating an encyclopedia based on Wikipedia, Wikidata, YouTube and many other sources of information. For each of the millions of topics in a language-wiki, the software renders a "topic card" with thematic sections, each containing links to other content. Link: https://conze.pt
