# Silver Bullet
## Markdown as a platform
Silver Bullet (SB) is a highly extensible, open source **personal knowledge playground**. At its core it’s a Markdown-based writing/note taking application that stores _pages_ (notes) as plain markdown files in a folder referred to as a _space_. Pages can be cross-linked using the `[[link to other page]]` syntax. This makes it a simple tool for [Personal Knowledge Management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_knowledge_management). However, once you leverage its various extensions (called _plugs_) it can feel more like a _knowledge playground_, allowing you to annotate, combine and query your accumulated knowledge in creative ways, specific to you.

What does Silver Bullet look like? Well, have a look around. **You’re looking at it at this very moment!** Say what!?

Feel free to make some edits, to get a feel for it. Don’t worry, you won’t break anything, nothing is saved (just reload the page to see).
Cool, no?

Note that this is not a fully functional version, because the back-end is read only. However, it should give you some feel for what it’s like to use SB before making that massive commitment of running a single `npx` command (see below) to run it locally in its fully functioning mode.

## Principles
Some core principles that underly Silver Bullet’s philosophy:
* **The truth is in the markdown.** And markdown is simply text files stored on disk. No proprietary formats or lock in. While SB uses a database for indexing and caching some data, all of that can be rebuilt from its markdown sources at any time.
* **What you see is what it is.** No magic or hidden content.
* **Single mode.** SB doesn’t have a separate view and edit mode. You’re always in edit mode, and you like it that way.
* **Extend it your way**. SB is highly extensible, and you can customize it your liking and your workflows.
