Design & PKM Tags

Lightweight taxonomy for design tools and personal knowledge management (PKM) patterns used in this knowledge base.

Tags

designapps

Tools and patterns focused on design workflows, especially landing pages, UI systems, and visual exploration. Often small, opinionated tools rather than full design suites.

Examples:

• aura-build – AI website builder that generates DESIGN.md from any URL
• stitch-google – AI-native design canvas with DESIGN.md and MCP integration
• variant – AI design tool for generating high-quality UI variants
• whizz-ai-design-prompts – Curated AI prompts for UI design
• tambo-ai – Generative UI SDK for React
• mockdown-design – ASCII wireframe editor for fast layout iteration
• huemint – ML-based color palette generator
• typevibe – Vibe-focused typography playground for landing pages

pkmpatterns

Patterns and tools for personal knowledge management and long-term memory for AI and humans. Emphasis on structure, recall, and multi-session continuity.

Examples:

• mempalace – Local-first AI memory palace with AAAK compression and MCP tools
• artem-grep-is-dead – Memory system treating logs as searchable knowledge
• qmd – Local search engine for markdown notes (BM25 + vectors + re-ranking)
• kris-puckett-obsidian-ai – Example of AI-augmented Obsidian setup
• economists-ai-adoption – Early examples of academics using AI as research memory

Usage

• Use designapps tag for entries that are primarily about design tools or design workflows.
• Use pkmpatterns tag for entries that are primarily about memory, PKM, or long-term context.

This file is intentionally minimal — it’s a living index we can expand as new clusters emerge (e.g., agentinfra, aipolicy).
