Knowledge Base

The Knowledge Base is the reason Feaster exists. The reader gets you through your feeds; the KB is what makes the reading worth something a year from now.

Save with intent

Press Mod+Shift+S on the article you're reading. A modal appears with:

Title — pre-filled from the article, editable.
Source — the article URL, read-only.
Tags — add as many as you like; auto-tags from the feed pre-fill.
Excerpt — toggle to include the article's first paragraph.
Notes — What question does this answer? What made you save it?

You can require a note before saving in Settings → Knowledge Base. The default is off.

Save a URL not from a feed

Press Mod+N or click Save a URL… from the KB sidebar. Paste a URL; Feaster auto-fetches the page title. Add tags and a note.

URL-saved entries are tagged FROM WEB in the KB; feed-saved entries are FROM FEED.

Browse and filter

Switch to Knowledge Base mode in the title bar. The KB sidebar offers:

Collections: All, From feeds, From the web, With notes.
Tag browser: every tag with its entry count.

The list column sorts by Recent, By tag, or A–Z.

Edit an entry

Select an entry to open the detail pane. Title, tags, and notes are inline editable. Changes save on focus-out or Mod+S.

Archive vs delete

Archive — hide from active KB views, keep in the data store.
Delete — permanent removal (requires confirmation).

Export

In Settings → Data & Privacy, export your KB as Markdown (one file per entry, with YAML frontmatter) or as a single JSON file. Both formats are self-contained and tool-friendly.

This is a tagged archive, not a Zettelkasten. There are no graph views, no bidirectional linking, no transclusion. If that's what you need, Feaster ships first-class export to Obsidian and Bear in a near-future release.
