Ideon

Spatial workspace that organizes projects on an infinite canvas

About Ideon

Ideon is a self-hosted, open-source project workspace built around an infinite spatial canvas. Repositories from GitHub, GitLab, Gitea and Forgejo sit alongside notes, links, files, tasks and people as structured blocks you arrange by proximity and dependency, replacing fragmented lists and folders with a visual map of the project. Workspaces keep snapshot history so decisions can be revisited, and real-time multiplayer cursors let teams build the shared project picture together, with no account needed for guests.
