Clew 0.2.0 F2

Generate a learning map. Click any topic. Follow the thread.

0.2.0 takes Clew from a graph experiment to a product. Three big additions: Obsidian bridge in both directions, an MCP server so external assistants can read your graph, and a real light/dark theme split.

Product positioning

• Renamed the product to Clew.
• New brand mark, favicon set, launch loader, and product language.
• Reframed around personal adaptive learning paths instead of generic graph visualization.

Interface and themes

• Full light and dark theme support (Paper light + Midnight dark).
• Rebuilt large parts of the workspace shell. Cleaner graph controls, denser readability, smoother idle motion, stable curved edges.
• Theme CSS split into core, overrides, workspace chat, dialog/canvas, and token files.

Obsidian bridge

• Import: vault folder → graph package, with preview + validation. Notes become topics, wiki links become edges, folders become zones, missing links become placeholder topics, note bodies survive as artifacts.
• Export: any Clew graph → Obsidian-ready folder with topic notes, resources, artifacts, zones, metadata, optional progress.

MCP

• New Clew Study Assist. A read-only MCP stdio server.
• Tools: list_graphs, get_current_learning_context, get_node, search_notes.
• Setup docs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor.
• Read-only by design. Graph edits still go through Clew's propose / review / apply flow.

Local runtime and architecture

• .env.example for faster first install.
• Refined planner prompts and proposal validation.
• Backend route dependencies and helpers split out.
• Repository storage and config concerns separated.
• Local debug log capture for frontend / API / backend errors.
• New tests across chat persistence, MCP tools, providers, proposals, repository, quiz routes, graph canvas core, and graph interactions.

Why this release matters

You can start from a goal, notes, or messy topics; let AI draft the structure; inspect the graph; study through it; and keep the path portable through Obsidian and MCP.

Still local-first, still hackable.
