Structure comes from more than a decade of iterative work on a personal wiki system. The current generation focuses on reliable self-hosting, collaboration, stronger search, and extensibility without losing the depth-first workflow of knowledge work.
Technical background
How Structure is built and why.
Motivation, architecture direction, and the core components behind Structure.
Run it anywhere Docker runs: Linux, macOS, or Windows.
Motivation
Problem being solved
Fragmented knowledge
Notes, documents, and references often end up split across tools with weak traceability and no durable structure.
Limited ownership
Teams frequently need private, controlled deployments and cannot rely on public SaaS defaults for long-term knowledge assets.
Differentiation
Wiki and graph as core primitives
Not add-ons. Navigation and linking are part of the base model.
Search-first design
Search and references are designed into workflows from the start.
Private deployment model
Run the stack under your own infrastructure and controls.
Client-specific evolution
The base product can be extended for domain workflows and integration requirements.
Platform components
Python
FastAPI
PostgreSQL
Neo4j
MinIO
OpenSearch
Redis
