What it does

Who it serves
Builders, product teams and market researchers.
Product purpose
Local research software for exploring repeated needs and evidence-backed project ideas.
  • Source-linked research observations and evidence review.
  • Local Next.js web dashboard and Rust API using PostgreSQL.
  • Separate native desktop application with different capabilities.
  • Documented research quality and external data-use constraints.

How it works

  1. Choose and configure the self-hosted web or native desktop edition.
  2. The web dashboard sends research requests to the Rust API.
  3. The API manages research records and evidence in PostgreSQL.
  4. Review linked evidence, limits and validation before drawing conclusions.

Architecture

Current scope

The repository currently describes an early community alpha for local use. The web app and desktop app have different capabilities; source content retains third-party data-use restrictions.

Contributor notes

Run locally

Configure .env from example; docker compose up --build -d --wait

Design decision

The repository offers a local Next.js/Rust/PostgreSQL web stack and a separate desktop edition.

Trade-off

Local research keeps the data close to the user but two editions have distinct setup and capabilities.

Unfinished

Early community alpha: README lists connector, import and third-party data limitations.
