Welcome to the Numenon documentation! Whether you're new to Numenon or looking to deepen your understanding, this guide will help you navigate its core concepts and functionalities.
Introduction
Numenon is a knowledge base management system for teams and individuals. Most similar platforms provide tools to manually structure and organize information, but we believe knowledge should evolve more organically.
Unlike traditional database tools (e.g., Airtable) or note-taking apps (e.g., Notion), Numenon prioritizes relationships between information, offering dynamic connections instead of rigid tables or hierarchical folders.
Imagine Numenon as a garden where you plant seeds—your ideas, notes, and data. As they grow, they form beautiful patterns—some carefully cultivated, others emerging in unexpected ways. You can tend to your garden with care, shaping it to your needs, or let it flourish freely and explore the surprising connections that arise.
Key Features
✅ Graph-based structure – No forced hierarchy; everything is a node
✅ Dynamic relationships – Entries connect freely and can inherit permissions
✅ Flexible permissions – Fine-grained access control per entry and relation
✅ Dynamic lists – Data searches within entries, fully customizable
✅ Adaptability – Easily restructure data without predefined schemas
Getting Started
Step 1: Create a Space
A Space is an independent environment within Numenon where all data and settings are contained. Each space is completely isolated from others.
Step 2: Add Entries
Entries are the fundamental building blocks in Numenon. Each entry can contain:
- Text and multimedia
- Structured data (fields)
- References to other entries
- Dynamically generated lists
Step 3: Define Labels
Labels act as content types, helping structure your entries by defining what kind of data they hold.
Step 4: Add fields
Add structured data such as text, numbers, dates, and more, that will help you standardize your data or create dynamic lists from them.
Step 5: Use Dynamic Lists
Dynamic lists allow you to dynamically retrieve and display data based on set conditions (filters).
Numenon’s still in the workshop, hammering away. But soon, you’ll get your hands dirty too.
