neoma 0.1.0

Your knowledge, rooted locally. — the first release of neoma, a lightweight, open-source, local-first research journal and linked-note app.

Easiest way to run it — download one file

You don't need to clone anything. Grab the setup script for your OS from Assets below, then run it. It checks Node, downloads neoma, installs, builds, opens your browser and serves the app for you.

Your computer	Download	Then
macOS / Linux	neoma-setup.sh	chmod +x neoma-setup.sh && ./neoma-setup.sh
Windows	neoma-setup.bat	double-click it

It opens at http://localhost:4173. Press Ctrl+C to stop.

Only prerequisite: Node.js 20+ (the script tells you if it's missing). Git is used if you have it; otherwise the project is downloaded as a zip automatically.

Other options

• Already cloned the repo? Run ./start.sh (macOS/Linux) or start.bat (Windows).
• Self-host / static hosting: neoma-v0.1.0.zip is the prebuilt static site — serve it with any web server, or use the Dockerfile in the repo.
