Welcome to Laputa — your personal knowledge base, stored as plain markdown files and versioned with Git.

This vault is your starting point. It contains real notes you can read, edit, and use as a model for your own.

## Start here

**Step 1 — Learn the basics**
Read these three notes in order:
1. [[What is Laputa]] — the philosophy (2 min)
2. [[Using the Editor]] — how notes work (3 min)
3. [[Types, Properties and Relationships]] — how to structure knowledge (3 min)

**Step 2 — Explore the app**
4. [[Sidebar and Navigation]] — Inbox, Favorites, types
5. [[Views and Search]] — Cmd+K, Cmd+P, saved views

**Step 3 — See it in action**
Browse the [[Personal Knowledge Management]] topic to see how [[Luca Rossi]], Laputa's creator, actually uses the app — with real notes about his system, his workflows, and why he built it this way.

**Step 4 — Make it yours**
Try editing this note. Create a new note (Cmd+N). Add a type. Connect two notes with a `[[wikilink]]`.

**Step 5 — AI and Git**
Read [[AI and Git]] to learn how to use Claude Code to operate on your vault, and how to sync it with GitHub.
