Kuzu, an in-process (embedded) graph database is fast becoming my favourite technology for 2025. In-process, fast, Cypher graph query language, vector indexes (for vector embeddings), full-text search... and, more.

Check it out, here: https://kuzudb.com/

I've finally started developing Contextualise version 2. Like always... too much to do, not enough time 😜 But, yeah. I've started...

@jcf Those are from a scene I modeled with Blender (https://www.blender.org/) years ago. The isometric style is one of my favorites.

Experimenting... a potential design direction for the (under development) Contextualise application. Very much in the proof-of-concept phase (regarding the look-and-feel).

I now really do remember why, four years ago, I decided to not implement multiple scopes in my topic map engine: the complexity increases by an order of magnitude... not only associations and occurrences will have multiple scopes, but also base names and even every piece of metadata. It's doable... but, do I really want to maintain this complexity? I'll make a final decision in the next couple of days after a bit more refactoring.

I'm really impressed with the tooling around Flutter. I've tried both Android Studio and now Visual Studio Code with the Flutter and Dart extensions... wow! And the hot reload feature is incredible. It provides the same instant feedback loop you have when developing web apps. All in all, a very good developer experience. I'm liking this 😜

Now we're cooking 😋 okay... dancing 😜

Back to working on my Storyteller project: https://brettkromkamp.com/posts/narrative-events/

So much code, so little time 😜

Now that I have two overlapping topic maps, the ability to merge topic maps is becoming more and more attractive. It is a bit of work though, so I need to think about priorities: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise/issues/151

Twitter Bootstrap is definitely not considered the cool kid on the block anymore. But, it has served me very well over the years. So, now I am in the process of migrating Contextualise from version 4.6 to version 5.2.3 (the latest stable version).

Working on several features in Contextualise during the Christmas holiday... one of which is the ability to merge topic maps. Useful if you have several topic maps that are, at least, somewhat related where it makes more sense to collapse them into one (super) map rather than maintaining them separately.

Starting to research the potential integration of Contextualise with Mastodon: https://github.com/brettkromkamp/contextualise/issues/152

Obviously, need to really think through the relevant use-cases and work-flows. I am not expecting too many problems from a technical point of view... but, we'll see.

I'm adding two new visualizations to Contextualise, an open source knowledge management application: timeline and map.

For the timeline visualization I am considering the Knightlab and vis.js timeline libraries.

For the mapping side of things, my preference is to use OpenStreetMap due to its open nature (i.e., free as in speech).

If anyone has any technical experience with these libraries or APIs, I would enjoy exchanging notes.
