Ideas for Processing and Ingesting Personal Notes

Progressive editing inside an editor-version of the Quartz app

Build an editor mode of the Quartz wiki itself. Same interface as the public site — same fonts, same graph, same backlinks — but with an authenticated editor layer on top. Scroll through unprocessed notes (pinned queue, then the rest) directly in the site. Leave comments and edits right there in the UI. Those edits progressively shape the source note → wiki page → published page pipeline.

The editor version IS the app. There’s no separate processing tool, no separate dashboard, no separate CMS. You just scroll your own wiki, and when you see something unprocessed or incomplete, you edit it in place. Over time, the unprocessed section shrinks and the published section grows.

Why this is the right form factor:

• The medium of processing = the medium of publishing. Same graph, same interface, same feel.
• Public comments (via Giscus or similar) and private editing live on the same page but with different permissions.
• Feels like scrolling and commenting on Twitter, except everything you touch compounds into your own knowledge graph.
• Mobile-native (the Quartz site works on phone), so this replaces the “open Twitter” reflex with “open my wiki and garden it.”
