Hey selfhosters 👋

0.7 is out. Biggest release so far.

Quick context if you missed the previous posts: Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace for developers. Infinite canvas, everything about a project in one place: notes, Git repos, tasks, files, links, kanbans.

The problem was never too many tools. It was that none of them talk to each other.

What’s new:

• Obsidian import: drop a vault into a project, notes become blocks on the canvas
• Vercel integration: deploy and check deployment status without leaving the canvas
• Excalidraw block: killed the old Sketch block, Excalidraw is just better
• Folder block: group and collapse blocks, helps a lot on bigger projects
• Drag and drop import: files, folders, text, Excalidraw sketches, drop anything on the canvas and Ideon picks the right block type
• Vim mode for Note and Snippet blocks, opt-in from Account settings
• Audio and video playback in File blocks

300+ stars now, more than I expected when I first posted here. Every issue, every comment pushed this forward, thank you.

Anyway. Worth a try if you haven’t yet :)

Great work 👍🏻

So cool! Gonna upgrade the coming weekend!

Have fun !

I was meaning to ask:

would it be possible to add sourcehut support? (through their graphql api)

Nice! The folders make a great addition!

Can I suggest one block? I would like a simple „title“ block. Just one line of text, like the Core block but smaller.

Is there a reason for excalidraw vs drawio? I currently use drawio, as I found it more capable than excalidraw.

thanks, if it helps, you can double click on the lines connecting blocks you can enter text to make it like a tag on connections :

why not, I’ll look into it to see what’s possible, btw there’s a public roadmap if you want to track what’s coming soon :

Thanks man ❤️‍🔥

I took a look and I’m kinda miffed the only instructions are for a docker install. If I had any energy I’d contribute some more options.

That being said I would love if it could be just a desktop app.

Fair point. Docker is the only install path right now. I’m a solo dev and I can’t properly test across multiple platforms yet. A desktop app is on my list, it’ll happen if the project grows enough to justify it. And if you ever recover that energy, PRs are open :D
