The Visual Hub for Everything Your Project Needs.
Most projects die from fragmentation.
Code lives in GitHub. Decisions live in chat logs. Visuals live in design tools. Random facts live in notes. Over time, nobody knows why something exists or how things relate.
Ideon exists to keep a project mentally navigable.
Not to replace GitHub, Notion, or Figma.
But to put the important parts in the same space, at the same time.
Ideon is a self-hosted visual workspace where you place structured blocks on a canvas:
- repositories
- notes
- links
- files
- people
- references
And a lot more.
Just state, structure, and history.
-
Blocks
Each block represents one concrete thing:- GitHub repository
- Color palette
- Contact / stakeholder
- Link or file
- Plain text
-
Spatial organization
You decide what is close, what is isolated, what depends on what. -
State history
The workspace has snapshots. You can track how decisions evolved over time. -
Multiplayer collaboration
Collaborate with teammates on projects in realtime.
You can try Ideon without any setup using our hosted demo:
