| Description | Luminotes is a free, open-source (GPL) WYSIWYG personal wiki notebook that lets you write, tag, and link notes without learning any markup language, organizing them into as many notebooks as you like. Built for students, writers, and professionals who want to capture research and ideas non-linearly, it treats each note as an individual item you can show, hide, and rearrange—TiddlyWiki-style—while a desktop version stores everything locally (even runnable from a USB drive). Its hosted service shut down in 2010, but the Python source remains available to self-host. | Thea is an AI-powered study platform for students that converts uploaded materials — PDFs, slides, docs, images, audio, video, and YouTube links across 90+ file types — into flashcards, summaries, study guides, and simulated tests. Built on cognitive-science methods like active recall, spaced repetition, and a Socratic 'Smart Study' mode, it asks you questions rather than handing over answers, positioning itself as a learning aid rather than a cheating tool. It's free for the vast majority of students (90%+ never pay), supports 80+ languages, and is aimed at exam prep for school, AP/IB, and standardized tests. |
