I’ve updated my smartfolio.me (In short, it’s a personal workspace for knowledge, built around pages that contain other pages, where a child page can reveal a selected snippet in the context of the parent. You write in a full-featured editor—text, formulas, images, embedded PDFs with annotations, saved web pages—and instead of organizing documents into folders, you insert one page inside another, or create a child page as an explanation through LLM of the selected snippet in the context of the parent document. Incoming items accept material from outside, search finds what is left unlinked, and several LLM plugins can parse raw transcription into connected sections, assemble a whole subtree into one document, translate a page without touching its formulas and layout.)
Previously, Smartfolio was a SaaS and stored documents only in Turso—SQLite as a service. Now, in addition to local SQLite and Turso, there are three new storage options: a folder on the disk (for local installation), a GitHub repository, and a folder in Google Drive.
Synchronization has been introduced, and it’s three-way: what A and B have and what they last agreed upon. As a result, “they differ” becomes “this has changed”—without referring to clocks owned by someone else’s machine. Storage pairs are by default bidirectional (a unidirectional mode exists for backups, and the interface writes “only from X to Y”, not drawing an arrow that might be interpreted in reverse); they can be restricted to a page and everything it reaches—including assets identified directly in the content. Conflicts preserve both sides in the form of a conflict copy, rather than merging or discarding them. Pairs are remembered in both storages, so a setup configured on a laptop also appears on the next machine, and the record of consensus lives in exactly one place—if each machine had its own, a regular edit from one side would turn into a conflict.
GitHub and Drive connect easily via oauth; afterwards, the profile shows repositories that the token may write to, or folders in Drive created by this app—selecting an existing one uses it, rather than creating a second one alongside. This is precisely how a second machine connects to already existing notes.
Desktop versions are now available on Electron—for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Smartfolio also works from a mobile browser.

For now, everything is by invitation only—both the service and the source code.
